MBK Digital CTO Iwao to Share Insights at Tech Awake for Career Event

MBK Digital, a prominent data solution company based in Tokyo, is excited to announce that its Chief Technology Officer, Kazuyoshi Iwao, will be participating as a speaker at the upcoming event, "Tech Awake for Career," organized by NewsPicks Brand Design. This career event aims to unite tech leaders and major corporations under the theme "Let's Energize Japan with Technology.” Iwao will deliver a pitch and closing session focusing on the company's "AI FIRST" value, addressing how organizations can thrive by placing AI at the core of their operations.

Data and AI for Corporate Transformation

MBK Digital has a clear mission: to shape aspirations using the power of data and AI. The company strives to enhance corporate decision-making through a unique blend of implementation capability and partnership strength. With professionals in engineering and data analysis, MBK Digital provides comprehensive support ranging from data utilization consulting to the execution of marketing strategies and the establishment of in-house development systems. The firm also leverages proprietary products such as generative AI and business intelligence tools to ensure a robust framework for delivering strategies from inception to execution.

Embracing an AI-Centric Work Environment

The "AI FIRST" principle at MBK Digital signifies the integration of AI not merely as a supplementary tool but as a fundamental component of operations. This paradigm allows for the redesign of work processes, with initiatives such as "AI Craft" providing all employees the resources to create custom generative AI applications tailored to specific business use cases. Currently, over 300 AI applications are operational within the organization, facilitating tasks such as meeting minute documentation, data analysis, and report generation. This enables employees to focus their efforts on decision-making and creativity, allowing AI to manage routine operational tasks efficiently. During the event, Iwao will discuss the practical implementation of this approach and the cultural framework that promotes engineer-led organizational development.

Cultivating a Culture of Continuous Learning

In an era characterized by rapid advancements in AI, MBK Digital champions a culture of continuous learning for engineers. The company brings together skilled engineers and data analysts who share the latest technologies and trends internally. This collaborative learning environment empowers them to advance client support and product development initiatives effectively. Moreover, MBK Digital actively seeks diverse talent from various backgrounds, enabling engineers to carve out their careers through global projects and AI product development.

In a recent interview with NewsPicks, Iwao remarked, "We provide an environment conducive for growth as technology leaders through the development of global projects and AI products. We are eager to welcome individuals with expertise in areas we have yet to explore."
