MYSC INNOVATION

Discovering values that no one has ever found in ambiguity.

TRI-SECTOR COLLECTIVE INNOVATION

In order to solve the root of social problems, cooperation is needed between the public, corporate, and social sectors, rather than having separate approaches. MYSC plans and operates various cross-sector projects through consulting, incubating, training, and investing, while understanding the inherent language and value of each sector.

SHARED VALUE CREATION INNOVATION

In order for social problems to become the basis for new opportunities in the future society, shared values need to be operated between the for-profit and nonprofit entities involved in social problems. MYSC provides consulting and investing in large corporations and social ventures pursuing both financial value and social impact

HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH INNOVATION

In order to develop sustainable solutions to social problems, there is a need for human-centered approaches that put the person directly concerned and stakeholders at the center, instead of skill or program-based solutions. MYSC provides consulting services to help clients redefine problems and develop human-centered solutions based on human-centered approaches, such as design thinking.
