This is a column written by our representative, Kazuaki Sawada, detailing the insights he has accumulated in the field of business revitalization, management improvement, and bank relations.
The related link this time is "How Successful Companies Conduct Meetings: Organizational Reforms for SMEs to Implement." This article explains how to not just record and report problems, but also analyze their causes and connect them to the execution and verification of improvement measures. The message that I particularly want to convey to business owners is that "the issue is not that complaints have occurred, but rather that the organization is unable to leverage those experiences for improvement."

Complaints are a "treasure" for companies. Customer feedback often hides weaknesses in products or issues in operations that the company was unaware of. However, simply recording the number of complaints does not lead to improvements. There are three key points to leverage complaints for corporate growth. 1. Manage by incidence rate and damage amount Understand the severity of the problem not just by the number of complaints, but by the incidence rate and the amount of damage. 2. Thoroughly analyze the root cause Ask "why" five times and delve into the causes from the perspective of 6W3H (Who, Whom, What, When, Where, Why, How, How many, How much). 3. Implement improvement measures that satisfy customers Consider whether the proposed solutions meet customer expectations, establish measures that can be sustained without burdening the staff, and verify their effectiveness to prevent recurrence. What’s important is not just handling complaints, but creating a system that prevents the same issues from recurring. Companies that turn complaints into opportunities for improvement can enhance customer trust and competitiveness. Next time, I will discuss the importance of awareness.
