Think Big, Start Small with High Aspirations and Passion

Abstract

It has been over half a century since the Data Communications Division was established within the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (now NTT) in 1967, which was spun off as NTT DATA in 1988. NTT DATA has earned the trust of many of its clients by understanding their business operations and using its technology to create and operate new systems that support society. We interviewed Yo Honma, president and chief executive officer of NTT DATA, who is leading the company’s transformation while maintaining long-term relationships with clients, about the business environment surrounding NTT DATA and his thoughts as a top executive.
