Advantages of in-house DX training
If you do DX training in-house, you can develop DX human resources in-house. In recent years, it is said that there are few human resources related to DX, and there are increasing cases of procuring external DX human resources without conducting DX training in-house and developing DX human resources.
However, if you procure DX human resources externally, you will need time to get to know about your company and funds to request. Therefore, developing DX human resources in-house is very important for companies to promote DX.
With DX training, you can develop DX human resources in-house and it costs relatively little. Furthermore, if you make good use of the DX training service, you can also develop DX human resources that suit your company.
What is DX human resources?
In a nutshell, DX human resources are “human resources involved in promoting DX”.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan defines DX as follows in the 2018 DX Promotion Guidelines .
Companies respond to drastic changes in the business environment, utilize data and digital technology, and transform their products, services, and business models based on the needs of customers and society.・Change the corporate culture and establish a competitive advantage
Simply put, DX is about understanding the importance of data, appropriately combining it with digital technology, and transforming companies. Human resources who proactively undertake such initiatives are called “DX human resources”.
3 points to choose DX training service
From here, we will explain the selection points of the “DX training service” that supports DX training.
The following three points are important when choosing a DX training service.
- Difficulty of content
- Can DX human resources be developed?
- Does the content meet the needs of the company?
I will explain each.
DX training service selection point 1: Difficulty of content
For companies that do not know the meaning of DX in the first place, or companies that do not have much contact with IT tools, let’s introduce a DX training service for beginners.
Let’s grasp the difficulty level to some extent and take a look at the contents once. Also, if there is a clear distinction between those who have knowledge about DX and those who do not, we recommend separate training.
Select a DX training service with a degree of difficulty that matches the employee’s proficiency.
DX training service selection point 2: Can DX human resources be developed?
Various contents are covered in DX training. A DX training service that only covers knowledge about DX and its surroundings cannot develop DX human resources.
Therefore, select a DX training that has a full plan for developing DX human resources.
DX training service selection point 3: Does the content meet internal needs?
What kind of DX human resources are needed depends on the company. This is because the organizational issues and the products and services provided are different.
For example, select training according to the tools you want to use for DX, such as wanting DX personnel who can use AI, or wanting DX personnel who can use IoT.

4 points when conducting DX training in-house
The following four points are important when conducting DX training in-house.
- Design a goal for what kind of DX human resources you want to be
- Check what you can do yourself
- Share DX skills
- Follow up after training
I will explain each.
1. Design goals for what kind of DX human resources you want to be
First of all, before the DX training, let’s decide what kind of DX human resources you want to be.
The DX human resources we want differ depending on the organizational issues, what kind of products and services you want to create through DX, and what kind of profits you want to make.
DX human resources need 3 skills. In order to promote DX, various skills such as basic IT knowledge, understanding the importance of data, and UI / UX orientation are required.
Skills required for DX human resources include “IT-related basic knowledge,” “how to handle and use data,” “UI/UX orientation,” and “project management.”
Basic IT knowledge
Basic IT-related knowledge includes an understanding of basic IT mechanisms such as the Web and applications. By understanding how IT works, you can determine what is possible and what is not possible when creating a new business.
How to handle and use data
Digital technology is now generating huge amounts of data, and if you can understand and handle the importance of data yourself, it will be a powerful skill to promote DX.
UI/UX oriented
DX is based on the premise of being “customer-centric”. In promoting DX, the most important thing is business transformation centered on the value provided to users.
Therefore, UI/UX orientation is required.
In promoting project management DX, each person must manage the project reliably and lead it to success.
2. Check the parts that can be covered by your company
After the DX training, let’s check how much DX can be covered by your company. If you can’t cover it yourself, you’ll have to outsource.
Let’s put out the part that we can cover in-house considering the cost side.
3. Share your DX skills
It is not easy for one person to supplement the skills necessary for DX. Therefore, let’s share the DX skills and the skills necessary for the DX talent you want.
4. Follow up after training
Let’s check how far the DX training has settled in the employees and whether they have reached the ideal DX human resources, and follow up on the employees.
