TCG for the first time
Tanabe Consulting Group

We are Business Doctors

We love companies, walk together with companies and work for company prosperity.

In 1957, when "management consulting" was not yet common in Japan,
Our company was born from our founder's desire that ``Japan needs jobs that can save businesses.''
Founder Shouichi Tanabe experienced the bankruptcy of the company he worked for and said, ``When a company goes bankrupt,
All stakeholders are lost.'' ``Every company has a life, and it must not be destroyed.''
From this original experience, I came to have this ambition.
Since then, we have supported many companies as ``business doctors'' who save companies.
