Business Outline
CASES
Design and operation of new business
Efforts for new businesses and business reforms, whether large companies or individual businesses, must always be conscious, and will lead to the three principles of corporate management.
* 3 Principles: Do not do evil, make a profit, continue
I, Tsuri, the founder of this company, while repeating the consulting business and the business support business, I have been launching new businesses in various business categories, planning and constructing new products and services, and supporting new businesses as a participating entity. Using its unique know-how and the latest digital technology, we will support the client’s new business.

Improvement and reform of existing businesses
DX, also called digital technology, is taken as an expected matter, and we are trying to grow by changing business processes and corporate culture. However, most companies are unaware that they inevitably inherit a closed culture, are not satisfied with improvement, let alone change, and even justify their bad habits and live by inertia. There are many places that are left unattended. It is clear that non-digitized work and operations are no longer possible, and data-free business management is declining. We will reconstruct BPR (Business Process Reengineering) in line with the purpose of our business and current issues with various digital technologies.

Excel, Access, handwriting, fax, and telephone-based operations have been greatly improved by systematization using low-code and no-code tools. In addition, by making full use of the latest SFA and AI technologies for student recruitment activities, we have created a system of academic affairs in vocational school management.
New establishment and restructuring of WEB business
EC (Electronic Commerce) can certainly open a shop with endless possibilities without the burden of opening a “real
store”.
It also cooperates with community parts such as websites, LPs, SNS, Salons, etc. that are wriggling in the same cyber
(electronic) space.
Moreover, recently, it is beginning to develop with new collaborative businesses such as omni-channel and BOPIS.
We have built a world-class EC platform called Magento (a global EC platform owned by Adobe).
While operating in Japan for over 10 years,

CEO
Mission
Be close to stakeholders. Make your dreams and hopes come true
Stakeholders do not simply consider Shareholders and Customers as number one, but they also do for Employees, Contract supporters, Suppliers, Sales collaborators, Creditors, Local communities, and Administrative organizations. They also cherish the Earth’s environment as an individual. We aim to achieve life’s goals, “cooperative co-running” and “impression sharing” with each-other.
Vision
Imagineering Service Model
For stakeholders, it will be a business entity that implements an imagineering service model that starts from designing. It will then assemble the development of existing and new businesses through the balance of each element either as whole or parts of it.
- Business designing
- Existing Business Innovation (DX)
- New business creation
Small alliance model
It will be an organization operated by a group of small teams working regardless of just one means (value or technology) in order to flexibly respond to various changes coming from either stakeholders or society.
- ICT system team for each layer
- Front side team for marketing, designing, etc.
- Finance, human resources, security, etc. backside team
Man Machine Integration Model
Focusing on the individual who has their own way of life, and helping them become one with their technology.
- A completely remote business system not tied to the place of work.
- A side business supporting the growth and ability of individuals.
- Independence support system Career development system to be acquired in global business.
CEO message
Life is asking ourselves what we can do during our existence that would be perpetuated through the coming generations. With a corporation being, in essence, an assortment of individuals, we want to think that corporations can be prolonged through their people’s achievements.
We, in Banyan Partners, are focusing on the idea of imagineering developed by Mr. Walt Disney when his company was founded. This idea will encourage us to confront matters with free thinking, without being bound by one methodology, means or technology . The end result is to achieve plans, significance of existence, and dreams of various stakeholders, including ourselves.
Yet, if there is one thing to remember from past experiences: “Always be aware of the value that exists on the other side’s position.” This suggests our need to be flexible in our thoughts and actions, while avoiding judgment. What is more, we would like to always aim for the “Customer is King” mantra to not get pulled into making ourselves comfortable with the “Product is King” mentality. On top of that, I would like to maximize the awareness concerning each individual. This is also based on the idea that “a person is an animal that can make full use of its inner abilities and the collective power of bonds!”; written in the memoir of one of the most respected managers of a global computer maker. I would like to prove that each individual grows as a “person” in this company so that they never become a victim of the organization.
As long as I live!
Fumio Tsuri

Origin of the company name
The banyan tree is a Morus alba tree that grows in the tropics and subtropics. It is said it brings happiness. One of its magical features is spirits gathering to form the trunk and spreading horizontally. I want our business entity to follow the same pattern, and this is how I came up with the name.
