Information Strategy Technology Begins Providing 'Management Model' Achieving 10% Engineer Turnover Rate and 'Mikiwame AI'

Information Strategy Technology (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Jun Takai) and Leadingmark (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuji Iida) jointly held a 'Know-How Seminar' on June 9, 2026, targeting management and human resources leaders in the IT industry.

Following this seminar, as part of its growth strategy to become a 'Comprehensive DX Trading Company,' the company will collaborate with Leadingmark to support the resolution of issues related to 'people' and 'organization,' which are major factors hindering DX success.

Background of the Seminar

As Digital Transformation (DX) advances, major obstacles often stem from internal organizational issues like 'people' and 'organizational culture' (resistance to change, skill gaps, turnover) rather than just technical problems. Specifically, in SES and IT contract development, engineer turnover remains a serious challenge due to lowered sense of belonging and inconsistent management caused by onsite assignments.

In this environment, Information Strategy Technology has achieved a high engineer retention rate, keeping turnover at 10% by practicing management based on data and psychology within its 400-person engineer organization. To address common organizational challenges in the IT industry using this proven expertise, the company has signed a sales partner agreement for Leadingmark's 'Mikiwame AI.'

At the joint seminar held on June 9, 2026, Shun Shimada, Executive Officer of Leadingmark, and Takashi Takimoto, Director of Information Strategy Technology, participated in a discussion on management methods (management model) that do not rely on individual intuition and experience, receiving significant positive feedback from attendees.

Utilizing 'Data x Psychology' to Enhance Business Outcomes

In promoting '0-order DX'—building systems 'side-by-side' with clients—the company believes the key to project success lies in 'people' and 'teams.' Consequently, they introduced 'Mikiwame AI' (a service visualizing personality traits and mental health) to their organization and have been building a self-sustaining team by leveraging their own operational cycle.

They offer this tool not merely as a product, but as a strategic initiative to enhance the value of their core 'DX Support' business and drive improved performance. By visualizing client organizational conditions and improving engineer retention at partner firms, they aim to realize stable continuous operations in their projects.

Future Outlook

Following the success of the seminar, the company will introduce 'Mikiwame AI' widely to clients and partners. They plan to disseminate their operational know-how and specific organizational development methods using 'Data x Psychology' through regular events and initiatives.

By scientifically managing invisible onsite dynamics and providing solutions for 'engineer retention and headcount growth'—critical challenges for the IT industry—the company aims to accelerate its transformation into a 'Comprehensive DX Trading Company' and enhance long-term corporate value.
