Dream Incubator Inc., Work Style Lab, Inc. and Catalant Technologies Announce Strategic Partnership Focused on Agile Workforce Solutions for the Japanese Market
Companies Join Forces to Help Clients Take Fast, Flexible Approach to Cross-Border Projects
BOSTON, Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dream Incubator Inc. (DI), Work Style Lab, Inc.(WSL) and Catalant Technologies, today announced a strategic partnership, combining the forces of three leaders in agile workforce implementation to support clients with cross-border projects focused in Japan, as well as supporting Japan-based clientele growing their operations and projects in the region.
DI is focused on capitalizing on and meeting the needs of the growing shift towards an on-demand talent model in Japanese consulting industry. The company acquired WSL in August of 2018 to provide a platform that would support both business projects and freelance consultants in Japan. Catalant enables organizations to transition to an agile operating model through its technology and programs and has recently increased its focus on global solutions for multinational clients.
The pressure on companies to move faster to take advantage of opportunities is universal. Whether navigating into new geographic markets, or addressing the threat from a new, disruptive competition launched in another country, companies must be fast and flexible in their approach.
All three companies are seeing a surge in the number of global projects their clients are engaging in. This partnership will be key to helping U.S. businesses conduct operations seamlessly in Japan, as well as offering Japanese businesses a catalyst for business agility, by enabling tools to adapt to the increasingly international focus that is changing the nature of how work gets done. Additionally, the partnership will provide freelance consultants around the world with a variety of opportunities to work across geographies, to expand their capabilities and expertise.
"DI foresees that the demand for an agile workforce will increase in Japan," said Kyohei "Kay" Hosono, head of the Investment Division at DI. "The trend we have seen in the U.S. market for last two decades is about to happen here. I believe this strategic partnership will bring benefits to empowering business insight, as well as expanding customer and freelance consultant relationships."
"Since its establishment in 2009, WSL has been providing matching services between projects and freelance consultants in Japan," said Takeshi Shingai, WSL CEO. "We are extremely excited to deliver great value to Japan and the U.S. through our collaboration."
"Our mission continues to be to help companies get their most strategic work done faster and better by engaging people with the right skills inside or outside their organization, on demand," said Rob Biederman, co-CEO and co-founder, Catalant. "To do this effectively, companies need to think and act without regard to office walls or geographic borders. This partnership is further allowing us to make it possible for companies to engage a global talent pool--blended with employees and external talent--seamlessly."
