[Seminar] The Challenges and Renewed Efforts of a 40-Person Research Institute in Achieving DX

An era where AI provides "answers." Is there someone in your company who can "ask questions" themselves? Simply introducing AI will not change a company. When people grow, organizations change. The "Future Research Group on People and Organizations" is a series of four practical workshops aimed at business owners, successors, executives, department heads, and next-generation leaders, focusing on the management skills necessary to "nurture people and drive organizations" in the coming era. Rather than passively "listening" to lectures, participants will bring their own management challenges and emphasize self-questioning through dialogue with experienced business leaders and fellow participants. Throughout the four sessions, we aim for participants to take home the following "four values": - A measure for judgment - An external sounding board - Their own management challenges - Their own reform concepts **Target Audience** Business owners / successors / executives / department heads / next-generation leaders **Locations** East Japan: Tokyo Transportation Hall (Yurakucho) West Japan: AP Osaka Station Front **Capacity** Limited to 10 companies and 20 participants from each region *Participation of two people from one company is recommended. **Participation Fee** 200,000 yen per company / 120,000 yen per person *For all four sessions Please join us for an opportunity to think about and discuss your company's challenges regarding management and human resource development in the AI era, and to connect these discussions to reform concepts.

[Speaker] Taro Ito, Deputy Director, Advanced Technology Application Research Institute, Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Two years ago, we set forth a grand vision of building a "DX platform" as a means for everyone in the community to utilize digital transformation, despite being a research institute of an electric power company. However, within the limited framework of a research organization with around 40 people, we struggled to balance investment and returns, leading to a necessary reevaluation of our vision. In this lecture, I will reflect on the challenges and setbacks we faced, considering how to reconcile ideals with reality. Based on the lessons learned from our trial and error, I will introduce practical DX initiatives and specific examples that are commensurate with our organizational scale, sharing insights on how to advance transformation within limited management resources. [Lecture Items] 1. Challenge of developing a co-creation platform for manufacturing 2. Transition to data platform development through setbacks and reflections 3. Specific examples of the data platform being developed at our institute 4. Our institute is seeking co-creation partners 5. Q&A / Business card exchange
