Transforming Human Resources with AI: The Launch of the AI Consultation Online Workshop

In an era where digital transformation (DX) is critical for business survival, STANDARD, a leader in DX support for over 1,500 companies, has announced the launch of a new online initiative. The "AI Consultation Online Workshop," set to debut on January 21, 2026, aims to provide personalized support in planning and implementing DX strategies through a fully digital platform called TalentQuest.

Background: Breaking Down Barriers in DX Training

As a frontrunner in the DX landscape, STANDARD recognizes the challenges faced by organizations in effectively applying what employees learn in workshops. Many companies report a disconnect between theoretical training and actionable implementation. Common barriers include:
1. High costs and limited ROI of traditional training methods.
2. Scheduling and participant constraints that hinder broader engagement.
3. Limitations on personalized coaching and guidance.
These obstacles often result in diminished outcomes from DX training efforts, creating a stagnant environment lacking both quantity and quality of action. STANDARD's vision is clear: to provide every employee with professional support that encourages continuous development and application of DX strategies.

Addressing the Challenges with Hybrid AI Support

The new AI Consultation Online Workshop promises a comprehensive approach to mastering the DX project planning process. Participants will learn everything from problem identification to strategy creation over the course of three months. This workshop is designed for practical application, ensuring that learners can seamlessly integrate their skills into their daily work.

Key Features of the Workshop:

• - High-Quality Instructional Videos: Learners can benefit from professionally crafted video lectures at their own pace, covering topics such as problem setting, strategy development, and proposal preparation.

• - Hands-On Practice: The workshop guides participants through the creation of essential deliverables necessary for refining DX projects, such as workflow diagrams, evaluation metrics, and investment impact assessments.

• - Instant Consultation with AI: Participants have access to an AI-powered consultation tool, offering specialized knowledge and immediate feedback on project materials. Unlike traditional Generative AI, this advanced tool is specifically trained in DX project creation and management, delivering more precise and actionable insights.

• - Professional Review and Support: Submissions are reviewed by experienced professionals who provide constructive feedback. Additionally, participants can interact with a DX consultant for 1-2 meetings throughout the program to clarify doubts and refine their strategies.

What Makes This Workshop Unique?

This workshop is distinct from conventional group training sessions as it allows participants to learn at their preferred pace, addressing individual needs and challenges. The integration of AI consultation ensures rapid resolution of issues that typically remain addressed in traditional formats, enhancing the learning experience.

High participant satisfaction is a testament to the effectiveness of this program. Earlier surveys indicate an impressive average satisfaction score of 4.33 out of 5, with particular praise for the qualifications and engagement of the instructors, who garnered a score of 4.47.

Feedback from Participants:

• - Experiential Learning: Participants expressed how the workshop illuminated the importance of logical and quantitative approaches in preparing proposals, recognizing gaps in their existing knowledge.
• - Comparative Insights: Engaging with reports from fellow groups allowed participants to reflect on their perspectives and improve their analytical skills.
• - Opportunity for Real-World Application: For many, this workshop provided a rare chance to engage in project proposal development, tailoring solutions that address internal business challenges.

A Vision for the Future

As stated by Toshiro Ito, President of STANDARD, “The shift from knowledge input to meaningful output in DX training is imperative. Our goal is not to merely supply learning tools but to enable employees to independently initiate DX projects that can radically transform their companies.” The AI Consultation Online Workshop embodies a mentor-like presence accessible around the clock, facilitating effective DX advancement across the nation without the constraints of time or budget.
