One of the major factors hindering system implementation is consensus building (internal coordination). In projects such as system implementation or system renewal, unlike other themed projects, various departments and individuals with different positions are involved, leading to a tendency for a wide range of opinions to emerge. Even in such an environment, project members must draw conclusions and move forward, so they need to coordinate all these opinions and find compromises one by one. You may often hear the term "consensus building," which refers to the process of adjusting opinions and finding common ground. [Contents] ■ One of the major factors hindering system implementation is consensus building (internal coordination) ■ Why is consensus building difficult? ■ The key to the success or failure of consensus building lies in two factors: "stakeholder analysis" and "visualization of information" ■ Further measures for smoother consensus building ■ Where to seek advice when facing difficulties in consensus building *For more details, please refer to the external link or feel free to contact us.

The new law from the European Commission, "GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)", is attracting attention due to its enormous fines and broad scope. However, can it be substituted by Japan's Personal Information Protection Act (officially the amended Personal Information Protection Act of 2017)? In Japan, not only listed companies but also many businesses are actively obtaining the P mark and complying with the Personal Information Protection Act. If these measures are recognized as a substitute for GDPR, it may be possible to escape the fear of fines due to GDPR violations. The theme of this discussion is "GDPR, Personal Information Protection Act, and Adequacy Certification." *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.*

On May 25, 2018, a new framework for personal data protection called the "EU General Data Protection Regulation," commonly known as "GDPR," came into effect in Europe, replacing the traditional "EU Data Protection Directive." Since it is a law from Europe, which is far from Japan, many Japanese companies may think, "What is GDPR?" or "It doesn't concern us, right?" However, Japanese companies may actually be subject to it. The GDPR has attracted significant attention due to its broad scope and the terrifyingly large fines it imposes. If a company is hit with these massive penalties, it could even jeopardize its survival. In this article, I would like to explain the impact of GDPR on Japanese companies, a topic that cannot be overlooked. *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.*
