Road to 20 YearsAlmost 20 years of our journey many changes are

made, to improve our services. To keep up with the new era, technology, and trends, we are committed

to continuing to evolve and innovate.

We have started the Recruitment Business as our new challenge. We knew how valuable the "people" are in any company. That's "Human Assets". With focusing on Individual Motivation(something you're excited to do), Skills, and Achievements(something you're good at), we were taking a new form of recruiting.

Digital BrandingTeam was Born, We Expanded into Digital Business

We startedRecruitment Business

In 2001, started as Management Advice Business, Sato and Mitomi have built the company with the philosophy of "Creating Corporate Value". The current Value Create logo was designed by Nendo in 2002.

Value Create was Established, Started as Advice and Consulting Business

While we did the Advice Business, we had noticed the design output is important. Until then, we were collaborating with an external creative agency, but there was a dilemma that we could not convey our feelings. We welcomed Tetsuya Okabe, our first creative director, and started the Creative Business.

Established Design Team, We were Starting Creative Business

As Digital and Corporate Branding was our main focus, we recruited some people who are expert in Digital Platform and built a Digital Branding Team. Currently, this team has seven people.

OUR SERVICES

Design Your ValueWith a mission of “Designing Corporate Value”, We are devoted

to support your Company`s Vision from all over the world.

We create corporate value through various perspectives and services

At Value Create, we have developed five services. Advice, Creative, Investment, International Business, and Recruitment Business.

An "Advisory Service" that is aimed at developing the executives at publicly-listed companies, a "Creative Services" with a reputation for high-quality design and planning. In "Recruitment Business" we adapted our "Wakuwaku to Dekiru" principle ("Motivation and Achievements" principle) to create opportunities for every individual, to find their suited professional career.

In our "Investment Services", we support companies financially from a long-term perspective, and with our "International Business" services, we spread the Value Create's framework, way of thinking, and contribution to society in Asia and all over the world.

By integrating these services, not only management advice, but we also can provide creative and design solutions. Some creative agencies do not have the perspective of management and investment. On the other hand, some consulting firms do not excel in the Creative and design field.

Here in Value Create, we can provide these integrated services that corporate executives really need. And this kind of company is hard to find in the world.

AdviceThe advice that Value Create provides basically involves supporting managers and executives. We divided our services into three categories, Management Advice, IR(Investor Relation) Advice, and Communication Advice.

Investment Our mission is to create corporate value in the form of 'Investment'. With considering various purposes and types of investment, such as investment in a start-up company, investments that involve management, investment in a public company, investment in an overseas company, etc. International

BusinessWe are making the "Invisible Asset" visible not only in Japan. We believe this "Invisible Asset" will be the source of strength for the company. It also could improve corporate communication.

Our vision and mission are spreading the Value Create's framework, way of thinking, and contribution to society in Asia and all over the world.

Recruitment BusinessThe Virtuous Cycle of corporate value is the development between Customers Satisfaction (making customers smile), Human Resources (employees are lively) and Organization Foundations (excitement in the organization). If you could organize these three, the revenue would increase as a result. And we have been supporting many companies that operate based on this development.

According to this cycle, we conclude

CreativeWe were working as a management advisor before we realised how important the "design output" is. Our experiences made us a unique Creative Agency. We can fulfil your needs not only advice for internal management, but also the creative and design solutions. Our design is not only about advertisement and stuff, but also about the business, strategies, and communication as a whole.

Graphic and Book DesignSince 2009, we have been designed books, annual report, integrated report, and another kind of company report from many kind of industries

Branding, Website, and Digital experiencesWith our focus on corporate branding and digital experiences, we

provide solutions for your needs in branding, corporate identity, website, digital marketing, and other digital experiences.

Since Value Create established in 2001, we have been holding onto our philosophy of “Creating Corporate Value”, by providing solutions and visions to our clients.

that the source of corporate value is their "People". And we will continue to embrace the importance of "Human Assets" to create value for the company.

Until now, we have worked with several listed companies in Japan in terms of culture, strategy, IR, production, finances, etc., and support them to create their corporate value. Based on those experiences, we decided to develop our own Recruitment business since April 2020.

By integrating these services, not only management advice, but we also can provide creative and design solutions

FOR YOUR BEST, WE DO OUR BEST

Think Together, Walk TogetherIt̀ s not like other typical program, Value Create help you

think about "how to create your own corporate value"through continuing dialogue with executives.

Creating corporate value through various perspectives

By focusing on communication with executives and management teams, we will help you think about how to create corporate value. We will ask you about management from an external perspective based on the focal point of corporate value. We will help you think about things such as what executives do not notice and what they overestimate and underestimate.

For example, preparing the next generation of executives is certainly challenging for any company. Therefore, we will guide you to understand what you need in order to solve this problem.

By communicating with executives and training the next generation management teams candidates. Our position as insider with external perspective (Outside-Insider) enable us to share management issues that is difficult to be discussed externally. Such as, Capital policy and M&A(Merger and Accusations).

‘Invisible Assets’ make a company stronger

When a company is doing well we often say that they are in a "Virtuous Cycle", and when they are not doing well we say that they are in a "Vicious Cycle’. If creating corporate value can be considered as a "Virtuous Cycle" and destroying corporate value as a "Vicious Cycle", then we can describe these cycles in terms of Five Assets.

Consistency between Corporate Culture, Strategy and Daily Actions

If you think of the Value Triangle’s short-term, medium-term and long-term values as three circles, then you will realise that there are parts where the three circles overlap. To create corporate value, you need to put these together. It’s important to have consistency extending from passion and strategy to daily actions of five assets.

In value creation, there is a cycle that goes as follows:Organizational Assets> Human Assets> Physical Assets> Customer Assets> Financial Assets> Organizational assets. If developing customers (making customers happy) and developing human resources (having lively staff) as well as establishing the organization (having an exciting organization) revolve well, you will make money. In other words, if your staff are ‘Wakuwaku’

The English edition of “Invisible Asset” Management: The Source of Profit and Corporate Value is now on sale in the Kindle Store.

It is a book that has compiled information and examples on our framework and way of thinking; ‘The Five Assets’, ‘The Value Triangle’, ‘The Three Circles’, ‘The Four Antennas’ and more.

This book is a collection of the know-how that Value Create’s Masahiro Mitomi has accumulated over more than 15 years.

Our framework

(Passionate), ‘Ikiiki’ (Lively) and ‘Nikoniko’ (Smilingly), money will flow towards you.

If you continue doing this, then your own "Strengths" and "Opportunities" will become clear and your strategy will become distinct. As a result, your profitability will increase, your sales will grow, and your position in the corporate world will rise.

Design With Special Eyes

We design a company’s IR(Investor Relation)from the perspective of investors and analysts.

By considering the capital market’s expectations regarding your company based on its market valuation, we will provide advice to fill the gap between its Intrinsic Value and Market Valuation.

Furthermore, we will consider with you how to communicateyour vision and future direction not only to the capital market but also your employees and clients.

Through IR, Value Create helps you to create your own corporate value in “Two Steps of Corporate Value Creation”.

IR that will increase your company’s corporate value

Generally, IR is thought of as "dealing with investors and analysts" but we think of it as "work that increases the corporate value of your company". It is work that builds relationships with the market to ensure that companies are evaluated based on their intrinsic value (fair value). In addition, it plays an important role in providing feedback from the market to executives.

CREATIVE THINKING

Our Concept of "Design"

When you hear the word "design", you probablythink of fashion, products and advertisements.

But, the "design" that we refer here has a broader meaning. It makes things and facts that

invisible to be visible, and brings the hidden reality to the surface. Furthermore, it links

these to value with a variety of techniques. This is how we define "Designing".

Not only advertisements and products, but we will design business, strategies, and communication as a whole.

“Invisible Assets” will increase your Company Value

For more than 10 years, we have been providing services by advocating the fact that assets that do not appear on Financial Statements (invisible assets) can increase corporate value. To increase these "invisible assets", it is firstly important to change these "invisible assets" into "visible assets".

At Value Create, we have been using various techniques to make these "invisible assets" become "visible assets". To convey a company "identity" to stakeholders, we engage in repeated discussions, real experience and deepen understanding of a company’s services and facilities, and then link these to output.

Applying "the expressive power" of Advertising to IR and Corporate Identity

Our creative team are creators who have previously worked in the world of advertising. This does not mean that the quality of advertising is the best. But Advertising plays the role of creating an impression in a limited space and our "expressive power" has been forged in this environment.

We are making the "Invisible Asset" visible not only in Japan. We believe this "Invisible Asset" will be the source of strength for the company. It also could improve corporate communication. Our vision and mission

are spreading the Value Create's framework, way of thinking, and contribution to society in Asia and all over the world.

Research that leads to management decision-making from the UK and Hong Kong

With the further globalization of Japanese companies, we have seen an increase in the number of specific needs such as "I would like to research a business alliance with the specific overseas company", "I am developing business in an Asian country, and I would like to research on the status of competition in that country," or "I would like to research on multiple global rival companies and analyse changes in their competitiveness". Thus leads us to do the research with our partners in UK and Hong Kong.

While doing overseas research, we hold repeated dialogues with the top management to clarify the research needs then raise the results to support the top management's decision-making.

Messages fromBarry O'Neill, who joined in March 2020

I was delighted to join Value Create this year, having been a supporter of the company for many years. In our increasingly digital, global market place there are many opportunities for our Japanese and international clients to enhance their value in overseas markets. I am looking forward to working with the team to unlock these opportunities, and build an international Value Create presence.

RECRUITMENT BUSINESS

Sources of Corporate Value is The "People"

We have started the Recruitment Business as our new challenge. We knew how valuable the people are in any company. We would to focus on Individual Motivation, Skills, and Achievements as our people asset. We

were taking a new form of recruiting.

We will continue to embrace the importance of "Human Assets" to create value for the company.

The Virtuous Cycle of corporate value is the development between Customers Satisfaction (making customers smile), Human Resources (employees are lively) and Organization Foundations (excitement in the organization). If you could organize these three, the revenue would increase as a result. And we have been supporting many companies that operate based on this development.

According to this cycle, we conclude that the source of corporate value is the "People". And we will continue to embrace the importance of "Human Assets" to create value for the company.

Until now, we have worked with several listed companies in Japan in terms of culture, strategy, IR, production, finances, etc., and support them to create their corporate value. Based on those experiences, we decided to develop our own Recruitment business since April 2020.

Using the map of the two axes of Wakuwaku and Dekiru

We have been using the map of the two axes of Wakuwaku (something you're excited to do) and Dekiru (something you're good at) within our company, to visualize the "excitement" of our employees. These two axes are used to create individual action plans.

By incorporating "Wakuwaku" and "Dekiru" into our recruitment business, we can visualize what job seekers excited to do and share it with our clients to build better connections for both parties.

SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES

Developing people with Aspects of Learning,

Spreading Knowledge of "Value Creation"

Through seminar activities, our three directors that came from different backgrounds share their knowledge in their own expertise. Our mission is to contribute to Corporate Value, and

our principle is "For your best, We do our best".

Graduate School of Business Administration, Keio University

Masahiro Mitomi has been in charge of the Intensive Corporate Research Program since 2009. Every year, we take one company and interview its top executives to think about how to manage the company, discuss, summarize the case studies, and conduct case studies with the aim of developing managers.

Department of Design Information, Faculty of Art and Design, Musashino Art University

Tetsuya Okabe has been in charge of a UX design seminar at Musashino Art University since 2018. The purpose is to develop creators who are active in the business scene based on branding. Being in contact with young creators has become a place of advice and stimulation for Okabe himself.

Graduate School of Business Administration, Department of Technology Management, Tokyo University of Science

Akira Sato has been a part-time lecturer in 2019 and is in charge of joint research with companies. We have invited several executives from large to start-up companies who have achieved value creation to participate in a panel discussion in order to learn about the value creation process and leadership.

By incorporating this system into our recruitment business, we can visualize what job seekers excited to do and share it with our clients to build better connections for both parties.

INTERVIEW

Meet Our New MemberFour new graduates and two mid-career employees from

different nationalities and experiences joined the company this year. And we talked about their impressions of what it was like to

work at Value Create.

What do you think of Value Create in personality and corporate culture?

Yuichiro MatsuiFor me there are two things. The first thing is that I admire the corporate culture. All the employee have an equal relationship with each other, there is no hierarchical relationship, but in a good way, and they can freely say what they think about. I can say that this corporate culture is applied well to the employees.

This is the fourth company I've worked for, and each company has its own vision, but it's often not applied well.

The second thing is an "individual". I think there are lots of "Superman" who come to Value Create to work. And I really want to learn a lot from those people.

Maxilimiliano Carrasco MartinezI think I have two things too.

The first thing is Value Create respects the values of every individual. Value Create also is a company with global mindset, which is not like other Japanese company. The corporate culture of "let the nail that sticks out grow" (a Japanese idiom that let a person grow in something they stand out) is wonderful, it makes my family felt relief when I told them about that.

The second thing is I can challenge myself to do anything. If you take matters into your own hand, you can explore and challenge yourself into the creative task. I think it's good to know that they respect those opportunities and proactive thinking.

Tomoe NakamuraValue Create's working environment is open-minded and there are no hierarchical relationships. When you hear about the other Creative Agency, you will get the impression that the designer will always do the finish line. But here at Value Create, we do the opposite. And for me, it is one of the best things about working at Value Create.

Ye GuifanMy previous job was in a Chinese bank, so the atmosphere is completely different. I came to Japan because I love Japan and wanted to study Japanese Design. When I joined Value Create, I found the company's atmosphere so cheerful and open-minded.

Aiman Husainy IrsyadI think the same too, Value Create is not like a Japanese company in general. The first time I spoke with Mr. Okabe, I had the impression that he was has a global mindset, freedom(in a positive way), and easy to work with. I thought it was fun to work with people from different backgrounds and nationalities.

Tomoaki FukuokaThose are the designer's point of view. For me, the reason why the Value Create is unique is its way of thinking: "let the nail that sticks out grow". In the past, I had an image of Japanese companies as "the nail that sticks out gets hammered in". But here is completely opposite of that, and I think it's an interesting culture that let us grow to the limit.

And I think this is the reason why people think Value Create is not like a Japanese company in general.

What did make you feel "wakuwaku"(excited)?

Yuichiro MatsuiFor me there are two things. The first thing is when I launched of a new business in Value Create. This is the top left corner of two axes of Wakuwaku and Dekiru. I'm excited to work on it.

The second thing is I can communicate with a lot of people. I feel excited when I'm talking to people. I'm happy to hear their stories and absorb knowledge from people with many different backgrounds.

Maxilimiliano Carrasco MartinezI can learn many perspectives and experiences in such a talented team. I didn't have any experience as a graphic designer, but working in this team allows me to absorb a lot of things.

Tomoe NakamuraI felt excited when I saw Mr. Okabe's presentation, I was amazed to see how amazing he was. I wanted to be able to make a presentation like him someday!

Ye GuifanI feel excited when I get a good evaluation. I am that kind of person who takes the assignment seriously, and it's exciting when I get a good evaluation.

Aiman Husainy IrsyadI always feel excited, but I'm feeling the most excited when I can talk about

different ideas with different people. Especially when I talk to Value Create's board members.

Tomoaki FukuokaI agree with how great to be able experiencing the work with "Superman" as Mr. Matsui said earlier. And I am so excited to look at Mr. Sato's work closely

What are your next goals after joining Value Create?

Yuichiro MatsuiIn the short term, I want to get any result in my Recruitment Business Division as soon as possible. Because I'm the only one in this new division, I think people around me don't know what kind of job that I'm doing. That's why I have a strong desire to make any result and give a contribution to everyone.

In the future, as Mr. Mitomi and Mr. Okabe have said, I want to grow the Recruitment Business and increase the number of our colleagues in this division.

Maxilimiliano Carrasco MartinezI want to learn and grow as a designer. I also want to create something impressive and show my contribution to Value Create.

Tomoe NakamuraI'm thinking about having other skills. I'm afraid, in the future just become a graphic designer isn't enough, so I want to have a lot of skills that I can rely on.

Ye GuifanIn the short term, I want to be able to adapt in design work and design software. And as a designer, I want to be able to be an Art Director in the future.

Aiman Husainy IrsyadI really want to become an expert in branding. Like American company "Landor", I'd like to bring Value Create to the same level as them.

Tomoaki FukuokaMy long-term goal is to be able to give advice to Investor Relation staff and managers. Ideally, I would like to be able to give advice like Mr. Sato.

Last but not least, We hope there are more people with “wakuwaku”like you.

Due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic, we initiated to make this interview using teleworking. And here is their profiles and thoughts about working at Value Create.

Corporate Data

As a member who recently joined the company, it is a huge challenge for me to create this edition. Moreover, I was thrilled and honoured to be chosen as the designer of this Company Profile.

For this edition I took "Monocle" magazine as my design reference. Because in my opinion, Value Create and "Monocle" magazine's target audience have the same characteristic (globally-minded).

And also, I want to say big thanks to everyone who helped me through the process of completing this Value Create's company profile.
