TOM original method
As our original know-how, we have the “Ribbon Frame planning technique”, a template for strategic planning which creates important strategies which will determine the future of the company, and the “Backcasting method” which builds the company’s future strategy.
■Ribbon Frame planning technique
There are steps in planning and strategic planning. To put it simply, it is “collecting information for a purpose, analyzing it, narrowing down the issues, deciding strategies, and creating an action plan.”
Ribbon Frame is the very thing which visualizes the process of this planning.
In this way, it is divided into four sections, and if you fill it in following steps, the project will be completed in a moment.
Ribbon Frame was once used globally by Hakuhodo, and TOM added its own flavor to the frame, then continues to this day.
■Backcasting method
This is TOM’s original method based on the Backcasting method.
In business, for issues and themes which has no exact answer with high uncertainty such as DX promotion and SDGs.
It is attracting as a method to draw a future goal and conside concrete measures to achieve it.
In Backcasting method, after confirming the current position, we define the “desired state/ideal state” based on trends in the world, customers, and technology, and derive strategies and measures to achieve it.
TOM promote steadily and efficiently promote work by developing our own template and filling it in with members.
