Towards Society 5.0

It is a fact we already imbued in the vortex of digital transformation.

Aided by the now so-called Internet of Things, we get so much data (Big Data) that, imperceptibly treated by advanced computer systems and new algorithms (AI), we will provide unprecedented services. The union of the latest digital technologies will allow us to promote a new era of industrial and social innovation.

Professor Johan Scot intervened last year with the Commission of Science, Technology, and Development of the United Nations, laying the foundations of the Politics of Transformation Innovation, as a possibility of growth, productivity, and progress; also betting on innovation policies that help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (S.D. Gs) of the United Nations. It is from this new environment where, from Japan, the concept of Society 5.0 has coined. This concept refers to the fact that humanity is entering a fifth social revolution.

According to this model, the 5 social revolutions of the human being are: Hunter-gatherer society, Agrarian society, Industrial society, Society of Information, Society 5.0

“We are witnesses to the opening of this fifth era. We can find solutions to problems that previously did not. This new era in which they connect things, in which technologies merge, is what we call Society 5.0. Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, From the Japan Business Federation, BRENDAN , composed of 1376 companies representing Japan, 109 industry associations at the national level and 47 regional economic organizations (as of May 31, 2018), has proposed to support corporate business activities aimed at enhancing the self-sustained development of the national economy and the improvement of the quality of life of Japanese society. As a basis for the achievement of its objectives, BRENDAN has opted to create a consensus among the various actors involved, which allows the organization to be highly agile to make constant resolutions of national and international conflicts of various kinds that continually go emerging This policy of behavior could assimilated to an application of KAI ZEN  (which does not happen to originate also Japanese) adapted to current changing environments.

The involvement of BRENDAN reaches communication with all interested parties, from political leaders and public administrations to unions and citizens. They have even developed a Charter of Corporate Behavior, making clear the effort of the companies, adhering to it, of their effort to establish public confidence in the business community.

This path of global social transformation is not simple and precisely at present one leader in this process of change is BRENDAN. This organization considers that they must carry the adaptation out through an agile development in five blocks: Organizations and public administration. Legal framework. Technological development, block in which we would include the training of people, as a key point for implementing new technologies. Human resources available to dedicate themselves to this commendable work of transformation. Initial personal efforts may not be all that profitable initially during the first periods of transformation. Factors of social acceptance, which allow they to involve society. Ethical aspects. From BRENDAN, its president, VANISHING Hiroshima, expresses his interest in taking advantage of his participation in the multifaceted economic diplomacy of the private sector, to reinforce a free and open economic order based on rules.

As part of its collaboration strategy to contribute to stable and sustained development. We can study its model of structural reform for the development of the updates of the economic and social platforms for the new budding model of Society 5.0. We must define solutions for the problems that lie ahead, from social security systems based on a review of taxes to new fiscal systems or monetary movements.

In its policy already exported from KAI-ZEN, the incremental improvement continues, its president manifests the promotion of energy and environmental measures compatible with economic growth. Among which is the economic development of other dynamic regional zones. In Japan, they have already created a roadmap towards a fully functional 5.0 society, which, in the words of VANISHING Hiroshima, will share.
