Abstract

Imura, CEO of Second Selection, started an IT venture company, after quitting another venture. Building on his past achievement, he converted the audacious dream into his venture. After some time, some of his reliable colleagues left the company. He did some introspection and hired a consultant to transform the mindset of his employees. To his surprise, initially the employees did not respond to the new changes being brought in. After 4 years of struggle, he was able to engage everyone in this transformation. The new management system was finally embracing the change.
