PMM JAPAN COMMUNITY Expands to Osaka with September Kickoff Event
The expansion responds to a market report showing GTM is where new products stall most, and to demand from community members outside Tokyo for activity bases beyond the capital.

Prodelia Partners, the Tokyo-based PMM consulting firm, is expanding its PMM JAPAN COMMUNITY to Osaka. The first Kansai event, themed "Kansai's cross-boundary talent, gather," takes place September 28 at Yayoi Inc.'s Osaka office in Yodoyabashi. The move follows the July PMM JAPAN CONFERENCE 2026, which drew more than 600 participants, and a market report showing 87% of companies struggle with GTM. Community membership has surpassed 400.
Prodelia Partners, founded in January 2026 as Japan's first PMM-specialized consulting firm, runs the community alongside consulting work built on a proprietary methodology it calls PMM OS. The Osaka program includes a practitioner talk by Yusuke Kita, a leader in Yayoi Inc.'s NEXT Business Unit, on working across organizational boundaries, plus a vote by attendees on the theme for the second event.
The company's July market report, based on 166 responses, found that 92% of organizations have some PMM function but only 28% carry it as a dedicated title, a state the firm describes as "function exists but no form." The community's stated purpose is to give that work a name and a repeatable structure.
