Development background
“People can change”This is something I have come to believe through my study and practice of people analytics.
I was close to the bottom of my class at the French graduate school INSEAD, where students from 70 countries attended. However, within my human resource class (now called people analytics), with 360-degree feedback from my friends around the world, I had a revelation. With this harsh, yet fair, feedback, in addition to allowing me to take a better look at myself, it lit the way for my future.
Since then, while leading talent from around the world at a company based in San Francisco, I adopted cutting-edge HR tech solution such as competency education and data-driven recruitment. Through the experience, I have seen how people grow, and how both companies and society have changed.
Using our experience, toward Society 5.0, IGS will support the human resources and organizations that live through the unpredictable times scientifically by providing an accurate assessment and appropriate education.
Business
Cultivate and Assess human resources for Society 5.0Humans upgrade themselves throughout their lives to respond to the demands of the times. The education and assessments we receive from ourselves, friends, and society becomes a catalyst for the growth. As we are facing a turbulent change in society such as Society 5.0 and COVID-19 at this moment, IGS provides the assessment and education solutions that are required in this new era.
Our development solutions "GROW Academy" provides youths with the basis for the competency required in Society 5.0 while "DxGROW" is a corporate training supporting organisations to successfully in Society 5.0.
Our assessment solutions "Ai GROW" and "GROW360" uses the same criterions, adjusted to each age, to assess individuals in schools or organisations.
Based on the scientific research, we support the enhancement of individuals' ability by assessing based on the requirements in Society 5.0. To be more specific, we assess the personality traits based on Big 5 Personality Traits theory, competencies and skills, and biases that hinder one from performing at one's full potential. To improve competency and the individuals' skills,
we provide educational content that can be helpful.

Resistances to Digital Transformation projects often relate to managers’ or employees’ intrinsic biases against DX, or “DX biases”. Studies show that most of us have anxiety or negative assumptions about DX, which induces biased decision-making related to Digital Transformation projects. The utilization of Bias visualization and behavioural assessments tools, combined with the appropriate HR development strategy - focusing on a large span, from Mindset transition to basic technical skills and literacy - is a highly relevant approach to implement an “Aggressive DX” strategy and helps organisations increasing global competitiveness in the context of Society 5.0.
