Challenging to manifest the social value of clinics and standardize sports event operations.

Emphasis is placed not only on the economic value of sports, but also on its social significance. Utilizing the methods of a consulting firm, research is conducted to clarify the social value of sports and aim to demonstrate unique value.

Hawaii is a region of high cultural significance, and both Blue United Corporation and Deloitte Tohmatsu Consulting firmly believe that the connection between sports events and the community offers fresh insights. Both companies will explore the meaning and value of the connection between sports and community, with a focus on gaining a deep understanding.

In addition, since the planning, preparation, and operation of sporting events tend to rely on individual efforts, operations are standardized to enhance efficiency. Both companies aim to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the sports industry by sharing expertise and extending it to other sectors.

Many discussions took place before forming the alliance with Deloitte Tohmatsu Consulting, and through these discussions, I gained valuable insights into the importance of community. I am very happy to be able to take the first step with the Keiki Soccer Clinic. We will utilize our resources to conduct surveys and research, carry out demonstration experiments, and accumulate expertise in order to enhance the revenue stream of the sport and ensure the flow of people, goods, money, information, and community capital to achieve this objective.
