    About this ebook

    How you could be a person who others help you is what I wrote in this book.

    You try hard everyday, but your work doesn’t go well. Your sales figures are stagnant. Relationships with those around you are strained. You’re wondering whether you should change jobs. You’d like to launch collaborations with other companies or other new projects, but things just don’t go as planned. Perhaps you’re struggling with anxieties such as these.

    After working at The Industrial Bank of Japan (IBJ), the leading investment bank at that time, for 13 years, these were the sort of worries that I had to face up to when, 35-years-old and hopelessly out-of-touch with information technology, I arrived at NTT DoCoMo, the leading mobile operator in Japan.

    But mastering one certain skill enabled me to realize the massive project of launching the Osaifu-Keitai (“mobile wallet”) credit service, which was hitherto unchartered territory. Moreover, during the four years of the venture investment over 10 companies were able to gain a listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the company earn profits of over 10 billion yen.

    Now I’m Professor at BBT University teaching Corporate Strategy, Platform Strategy and also most of my six books were ranked in No1 in Amazon Japan bestselling ranking as bestsellers. The method that enables these formidable achievements and the subject of this case is what I call “Platform way of thinking and business alliance skills.”
