ANSWER
WE ARE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF THE NEED TO ENHANCE
OPERATIONAL QUALITY.
One task we face is finding ways to improve the quality of our operations, since this proposition is essential
to becoming a robust company capable of achieving strong, sustainable growth. In practice, we are review-
ing and improving every operational process, including planning, development, production, distribution, and
sales, all from a more customer-centric standpoint, and deploying these improvement programs horizontally
across the entire Group.
My vision for Konica Minolta is to see us become a robust company capable of achieving strong, sus-
tainable growth, and to be a company vital to society.
Molding Konica Minolta into this type of company means that in addition to growth in operating results,
our approach to work itself must evolve. Another important aspect is fostering a corporate culture where
every individual is highly motivated and has the bold spirit to take on challenges, with a mind open to new
concepts and innovation. Our Group-wide slogan in this area—“simply BOLD”—will guide our efforts to build
this culture going forward.
