AI Shift & Corporate Transformation
AI Shift,
starting with people and organizations.
Let AI do what it does best, so people can do what only people can.
DPLUS is a Tokyo-based consulting firm. With AI Shift at our core, we support transformation in new business, M&A, information security, and organization and talent, always starting from people and organizations.
Where You Are
Before adoption or after.
AI Shift starts from where you are.
Every company is at a different point with AI. Wherever you stand, there is a clear next step.
Just getting started
You are not sure where to begin. Data leakage is a concern, and rules for use are not yet in place.
First step: an executive workshop, usage rules and a secure environment
Adopted, but not spreading
The tools are in, but only some employees use them, and pilots struggle to show their value.
First step: an AI maturity assessment to find the cause and reset priorities
Scaling across the company
Agents are multiplying. Governance, measuring impact and rethinking organization and evaluation come next.
First step: a post-adoption assessment, then governance and organization design
What holds AI back is rarely the tool.
It is how people are engaged and the order of the work.
Our Approach 01｜Issue Definition
Before the right answer,
the right question.
Through dialogue, we move from a vague sense of concern to the real cause, and define the issue that truly needs solving. Please come to us even before the issue is clear.
AI answers the question it is given, quickly and convincingly.
Deciding what is worth asking remains work for people.

The right team of professionals for each challenge.
No single firm can keep first-rate talent in every field. DPLUS forms a team for each challenge together with professionals active in AI, new business, security, organization and talent.
We do not simply introduce people and step away. A DPLUS Producing Director joins the team and stays to the end, from framing the issue and building the team to coordinating across organizations and making the change stick. We call this Hybrid Consulting.

Statement
A concerto of AI and people.
AI is not here to take people's work away.
It is a reliable partner.
What AI can do, we boldly let it do.
With the time that creates,
people turn to what only people can do.
Ideas born when people face each other.
Giving new meaning to different values.
Imagining the future and telling a story others want to act on.
And doing the hard, hands-on work
of bringing a vision into the real world.
AI and people, each with their own voice.
DPLUS performs this concerto together with our clients.
