TRANSFORMING JAPAN POST
By Yoshiaki Honpo, Japan Post
At the World Postal Business Forum in Brussels in October 2003, Masaharu Ikuta, the president of Japan Post, spoke about the biggest reform in Japanese postal services in 132 years. Until 2000, the postal operation was a part of Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT). Due to the reform in central government, the postal services agency was established as a separate agency under the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Post and Telecommunication in January 2001. On April 1, 2003, Japan Post was established as a public corporation wholly owned by the government.Pushing the Envelope has followed up Mr. Ikuta's presentation by interviewing Yoshiaki Honpo, a senior vice president of Japan Post, who shared with us more specifics on the strategies the post has employed to transform the way it does business.
