4 Infrastructure/Cloud DX5 Mathematical Engineering6 Generative AI1 Project Management2 System Development3 UI/UXAn environment in which our staff are able to directly communicate with client’s management and users, and engage in daily, in-person discussions to resolve issues, is critically important to understand the true nature of any issues that arise. This environment allows employees to work on projects that affect the success of client’s business with a sense of ownership and contributes greatly to the growth of our employees.The Simplex Way is also effective in training new employees. New graduates get a solid grounding in financial engineering fundamentals, information technology, and business in the first six months of in-house training before joining their colleagues. Then they undergo another four-month training program, before being assigned to their own projects. At project sites, senior employees (unit leaders) and two new employees form one unit to further development and ensure new skills are developed on the job. (▶Page 16 Simplex Way)Variety of career choices and commitment to growthEveryone at the Simplex Group, including the CEO, operates as a player with a project owner’s mindset and contributes to our growth based on the "Work for Simplex" value system. We therefore have equal respect for those in management positions, whose mission is to help their teams achieve their goals and develop individually, and those in specialist positions, in which employees master specific skills. Here are three features that promote diverse career choices and employee growth.Quality OJT through projects done via the Simplex WayThe first feature is our unique business model, called the Simplex Way, is high-level on-the-job training acquired through projects. In contrast to the Japanese IT industry, where a multi-layered vendor hierarchy in the norm, and work is outsourced in stages from prime contractors to subcontractors, we receive prime vendor orders directly from clients. We therefore ensure we maintain a system that does not outsource development to outside vendors.In-house training organization in specialized areasThe second feature is the Competency Team, an internal training organization dedicated to specialized areas. It was established in 2018 with the aim of taking over and refining competencies that have been the crux of the Simplex Group's strengths, and with it strengthening our organizational capabilities.Currently, there are six teams, namely Project Management, System Development, UI/UX, Infrastructure/Cloud DX, and Mathematical Engineering, as well as Generative AI, which was newly established in July 2023. Each team further develops talent alongside OJT through projects and maintains a training system, as well as engaging in cross-organizational involvement in various projects as experts in their respective areas of expertise. The teams are also involved in researching trends and cutting-edge technologies.Each team has a high degree of specialization. In these, employees who have mastered management or specific skills are appointed as a Competency Lead. In addition, mid-career employees who have gained a certain level of experience through OJT on projects are also offered the opportunity to participate as members if they meet requirements set by each team.The Competency Team, in which various team members hone strengths in an apprenticeship-like environment, offers a growth opportunity for employees to acquire both specialized skills, and also leadership skills, solid work ethics, and other diverse skills.In addition, from the interview stage at the time of hiring, we emphasize the importance of determining whether candidates can share our 5DNAs code of conduct. To continue being a team of value-creating professionals, we need to ensure we can maximize the power of each individual to make the Simplex Group even stronger by sharing the 5DNAs with all employees.In addition, in order to maximize the potential of an "edgy" personality of each employee, we consider it important to make a clear distinction between job title and role. In our evaluation system, we have equal appreciation for those both in management positions and specialist positions. Our company has had employees rise to the highest level without having any reporting team members.A corporate culture that maximizes individual strengthsThe third characteristic is a corporate culture that encourages diversity in career paths and maximizes individual strengths. Underpinning this philosophy is the value of Mutual Respect. For the team to achieve the best results, we need to bring together the best talents from various fields. Mutual Respect requires humility, recognizing the talents of others, learning from each other, and respecting each other. Based on these values, Simplex Group forges a corporate culture that maximizes the potential of each individual and recognizes unique talents.42List of CompetenciesCareer Path ExamplesUI/UXspecialistMathematicalengineeringengineerCloudengineerSeniorprojectmanagerStrategyconsultantITconsultantSuperprogrammeretc.Talent Development∞
