Consilium

About us

The company name Consilium is Latin meaning ‘to consult’ or ‘to think together’. We adopted the tagline; ‘Discover, Plan, Execute’ under this logo to render the meaning of to, together with our clients, ‘discover’, the challenges regarding business and communication, in order to bring forth ideas for their solution, and ‘plan’ and ‘execute’ them accordingly.

Today, there is a growing emphasis on accurately understanding the market and user needs, and to decide product specifications and prepare business plans based on such needs.

While working alongside our clients, Consilium provides finely-tuned services, from market research, planning, concept formulation, to project implementation, not only in Japan but also in Europe, the ASEAN and East Asia, in collaboration with its collaborating partners best suited for each project.
