"Action over advice"—What is a "practical PMO" that advances data utilization? : Independent from KDDI at age 48
Our guest this time is Daisuke Shimizu, President and CEO of Image Engineering Laboratory, Inc. He was involved in new business development utilizing location data at KDDI, and became independent at the age of 48 during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the motto "Action over advice," he supports large corporations in data utilization and new business development as a practical PMO. What exactly does a PMO do? Why is there a shortage of PM personnel in new business development at large corporations? We delve into the realities of PM, such as inter-departmental coordination and communication with stakeholders, which are difficult to solve with AI alone. Furthermore, we asked him about the application of AI to project management, the challenges of governance, and the future outlook for data utilization support.
