ヒカさん、
来週の定例会のアジェンダに付け加えていただきたい議題があってご連絡しました：「新サービスのROIについて」
開発を検討している新サービスには私も自信があるのですが、そろそろサービスがもたらす価値を数字で表すべきかと思いました。社長の承認を得るには数字が欠かせません。私からROIの求め方を一つ提案させていただいた上で、議論できればうれしいです。
よろしくお願いします。

Hello everyone. Welcome to E-mail Picks.
Just a little update on my side: I work
0:00:10.410,0:00:14.759
in the product development department of Bizmates and we have a regular meeting
0:00:14.759,0:00:18.359
every week. Our boss Hika sends us the agenda a few
0:00:18.359,0:00:22.619
days in advance so that we'll know what
needs to be discussed. Recently, we've
0:00:22.619,0:00:26.400
been spending a lot of time discussing
the concept of a new service we're
0:00:26.400,0:00:30.090
trying to develop. The concept is
starting to take shape, but the first
0:00:30.090,0:00:34.290
hurdle we need to overcome is, of course,
getting approval to develop the service
0:00:34.290,0:00:40.110
from our president. I felt we haven't
calculated the monetary value of the
0:00:40.110,0:00:43.770
service and without that, I don't think
the president will give us a green light.
0:00:43.770,0:00:48.300
So today, I want to suggest that we add
an item to the agenda of our regular
0:00:48.300,0:00:52.440
meeting so that we can make sure that we discuss this very important topic.
0:00:52.440,0:00:57.420
So he goes. Hi Hika-san, there's one thing
I'd like to add to the agenda for our
0:00:57.420,0:01:02.250
regular meeting next week: ROI of our new service. I'm confident about the concept
0:01:02.250,0:01:05.909
of the new service we are thinking to
develop but I feel it's time we start
0:01:05.909,0:01:10.200
thinking about expressing the value of
the service in numbers. We'll need figures
0:01:10.200,0:01:13.860
to convince our president to give us
approval. I'd like to make a suggestion
0:01:13.860,0:01:17.610
on how we should express the ROI and
then hopefully we can have a discussion
0:01:17.610,0:01:22.860
on it. I hope that's OK. Kyota. OK. So I
went straight into the point here.
0:01:22.860,0:01:27.840
I wrote: "there's one thing I'd like to add
to the agenda." I then provided the
0:01:27.840,0:01:32.100
reasons I thought we should think about
the money side of the the product
0:01:32.100,0:01:36.869
development. I wrote that I would propose an idea myself so that we'll have a
0:01:36.869,0:01:40.829
springboard for discussion. I think
that's enough to understand that this
0:01:40.829,0:01:44.790
will take more than just five or ten
minutes. So there you go. An e-mail to
0:01:44.790,0:01:49.320
suggest an agenda item. Once we get
approval, we can start development, which
0:01:49.320,0:01:52.950
is always the exciting part. Anyway, thank
you for watching. That's it for today.
0:01:52.950,0:01:56.000
I'll see you next week.
