Managing consultant
HIROTOMO TAKAHASHI

As part of our customers' digital transformation, I support the planning and execution of IoT implementation.

I started my carrier at a software company and experienced PM on various projects. After that, I joined EBSS in 2014 after working as a business consultant at a previous IT vendor.

At EBSS, I belong to the project management service line and utilize project management methods and knowledge to carry out customer project activities.

Currently, I am engaged in IoT(*) implementation projects in the railway business, and my role is to accelerate the projects to achieve the goals of our customers.(*：Internet of Things)

I think that "Conversations" with our stakeholders is important

The projects I work on have different issues and coordination due to the participation of people from different companies, departments and positions.

In order to solve this problem and achieve the goal, it is important to discuss it carefully with the people concerned.

In conversation, I organize the essence of problems that cannot be read by email, and discuss until they are satisfied with the optimal solution.

Based on my experience in many projects, I think that accumulating the results of solutions through conversations will lead to the trust of stakeholders and the key to the smooth execution of projects.

Promoting the project by utilizing the teamwork that is the strength of EBSS

Currently, I am controlling a management team with several members, but it is not easy to unify the direction we should aim for as a team.

In order for multiple members to come together and succeed in the project, it is important to clarify the division of roles and teamwork of each member.

EBSS employees are rooted in the corporate mindset of "when faced with difficult situations, we support each other to survive the situation!".

As a leader of the team, I am focusing on raising awareness of what each member should do and further strengthening the EBSS teamwork.

I will continue to maximize this strength and provide valuable services to many customers. That is my outlook.
