What meguri does

meguri (株式会社meguri) is a Tokyo-based management consulting and outsourcing firm founded in 2015 by Matsumoto Ayumi (松本綾弓) that supports organizations pursuing sustainable society through organizational transformation, human resources strategy, DEI&B (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging), team building, and change management. The company serves enterprise clients across sectors including engineering (Omron Field Engineering), energy/power infrastructure (Natural Power, Kansai Electric Power ecosystem), agricultural technology (Chiba Eco Energy), and healthcare (SMS Co.), applying proprietary methodologies such as SINIC theory alignment and frameworks centered on 自律 (autonomy), 共創 (co-creation), and community development. Service delivery emphasizes deep on-site accompaniment that bridges management strategy and field-level execution, going beyond advisory recommendations to co-author processes that clients are then guided to operate autonomously.

The business operates a dual-stream professional-services model — consulting (コンサルティング事業) and outsourcing (アウトソーシング事業) — with engagement-based, time-defined project structures (e.g., the OFE HR strategy project runs April 2024–March 2026). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by a Journal section (news, interviews, blogs, project cases) on the corporate website and co-organized forums such as the Energy Study Group with Omron Field Engineering and Kansai Electric Power. There is no productized software, app, or API surface; the offering is human-delivered advisory and execution support. The firm has approximately 15 members, indicating a boutique consultancy constrained by consultant capacity rather than a platform play.

Strategically, meguri has positioned itself within a multi-party ecosystem spanning Omron Group (via the Human Renaissance Research Institute), Kansai Electric Power, regional bodies (Obuse Town, Nagano), and media/design partners (Article Inc.). A July 2026 comprehensive partnership agreement targeting a 2050 next-generation social model — anchored on three 'Regeneration' pillars and using Obuse Town as a living lab — signals a long-horizon orientation toward ecosystem-based, place-based engagement rather than short-duration consulting. Internally, the firm restructured from a managed organization to a platform-type model around its third operating year, formalizing the autonomy- and co-creation-oriented culture that underpins both its client work and its own operations.
