In April 2018, we created "Yume Pro", an innovation management system (IMS), as a mechanism to make innovations happen organizationally in anticipation of the introduction of international standard ISO 56002. In 2020, advocating Full Participation Innovation, we continue to evolve the activities of the entire OKI Group. The number of people involved in Innovation Dialogue, in which employees directly interact with executives including the president, has reached 1,000, and the "Yume Pro Challenge," a business idea contest that serves as a practical field for employees, it has expanded to about seven times its size in four years, and I feel that the foundation for a culture of innovation is beginning to form.

The next step is to further improve the quality of innovation. The key to achieving this goal depends on the staff who can constantly think about what society and customers require from a more practical and global perspective, while grasping the underlying social issues to create values. This requires strategists and marketers with excellent business acumen. It also requires unique researchers and engineers who can develop and refine unique technologies.

To develop such staff, we will continue to foster a corporate culture in which each employee in the OKI Group can take on challenges and think freely, and accelerate Full Participation Innovation. Let us work together to create a company that inspires emotion and empathy by believing in ourselves and our colleagues, and create many products and services that impress customers around the world.

OKI realizes the goal of creating a safe society through Full Participation Innovation.
Please look forward to OKI's continued innovation.
