Awards & External Recognition
HRM Asia Readers’ Choice Awards 2025
Best Corporate – Leadership Development Provider (Silver Award)
Koike Consulting Co., Ltd. was named Best Corporate – Leadership Development Provider (Silver Award) at the HRM Asia Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, which recognise leading partners in human capital and organisational development across the Asia-Pacific region.
Organised by HRM Asia, one of Asia’s largest HR professional media platforms headquartered in Singapore, the Awards employ a rigorous evaluation process combining reader voting by senior HR and business leaders (70%) with independent expert judging (30%), ensuring a high level of credibility and professional relevance.
Against the backdrop of rapid technological advancement, shifting workforce expectations, and increasingly complex organisational challenges across Asia, the Awards recognise not merely service providers, but organisations that demonstrate distinctive value, influence, and expertise as long-term partners in advancing people and organisational capability.
The award ceremony was held on 4 December 2025 in Singapore.
Background of the Award
Koike Consulting works primarily with Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime-listed companies and leading private universities, delivering advisory services that structurally link corporate strategy and governance with people and organisational systems.
At the core of our approach is our proprietary framework, HR Evolution 5 Steps, which integrates strategy, organisational implementation, and cultural transformation in a single, coherent design. Rather than treating human capital initiatives as isolated programmes, the framework translates management intent into measurable behavioural change, organisational capability, and cultural evolution.
Our work focuses on four core areas:
- Leadership development aligned with corporate strategy and governance
- Workforce portfolio–based talent development and organisational design
- Performance and remuneration system design, including support for nomination and remuneration committees
- Global people and organisational transformation, including ASEAN operations, grounded in Japanese management philosophy
This recognition reflects our ability to combine structured theoretical frameworks with deep practical insight, and to work alongside clients to embed strategy into execution, capability, and culture.
About the HRM Asia Readers’ Choice Awards
The HRM Asia Readers’ Choice Awards are an annual international awards programme recognising excellence in human capital and people development across the Asia-Pacific region.
Winners are selected through a hybrid process that combines reader voting by HRM Asia’s professional audience with assessment by an independent Judging Panel of HR and organisational development experts, capturing both practitioner perspective and expert judgement.

Among global HR service providers, leading Asia-Pacific HR organisations, and prominent AI-driven HR Tech ventures, Koike Consulting was recognised as a Japan-based boutique consulting firm—an outcome that reinforces both our responsibility and our commitment to advancing people and organisational effectiveness.
Why Koike Consulting
Koike Consulting was established at a pivotal moment when generative AI began to be broadly adopted and the foundations of work itself started to shift.
In November 2022, conversational generative AI became publicly available, prompting a fundamental re-examination of human roles such as expertise, judgement, and creativity. We interpreted this development not as a transient technology trend, but as a structural inflection point requiring a redesign of how organisations operate and evolve.
Just four months later, we launched Koike Consulting as a professional firm dedicated to supporting the evolution of people and organisations in the era ahead.
From the outset, we adopted a small, elite team model, with a clear strategic focus extending beyond Japan to Asia. We continue to challenge conventional assumptions about leadership, organisational capability, and governance—and what it takes for them to remain relevant and effective in the age of AI.
This award reflects recognition by HR and business leaders across Asia of our clarity of perspective, design-led approach, and consistent execution, positioning Koike Consulting as a trusted partner in enabling organisational evolution.
Looking Ahead
Koike Consulting views this award as a validation point, not a destination. Guided by our mission to integrate theoretical rigour with practical insight to unlock organisational potential, we will continue to deepen our work in leadership development and organisational transformation across Japan and Asia.
In an environment of continuous change, we remain committed to serving as a reliable partner that connects management intent with disciplined organisational execution, working alongside our clients to deliver sustainable impact.
