Introduction

In an era where AI is more than just a buzzword, B&DX Inc., a leading management consulting firm based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has published a groundbreaking new book titled AI Agents Era of DX - The Impact of Business Orchestration. Scheduled for release on December 12, 2025, by Nikkei BP, the book serves as a practical guide to help Japanese companies adapt to the changing landscape driven by AI agents. The book sheds light on the transformations required in operational structures to embrace digital transformation (DX) effectively.

The Need for Change

Since the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022, generative AI technologies have been rapidly adopted. However, most Japanese companies are still limited to using these technologies for simple tasks like email composition and meeting minutes. The tech industry, however, has already advanced to the next phase with the emergence of AI agents that can autonomously make decisions, act, and achieve results.

This book encourages Japanese companies to move away from traditional operational mindsets and adopt a new perspective where AI agents play a central role in business processes. By embracing the concept of 'Business Orchestration,' businesses can redefine their operations under a digital framework that orchestrates all components of their systems and processes, guiding them towards successful digital transformation.

Key Concepts of the Book: Business Orchestration

Business Orchestration is the term coined in the book to describe a new architecture where all business processes, systems, digital tools, and data are defined on a unified digital platform. In this setup, digital technologies assume the role of 'conductors,' enabling businesses to self-manage and evolve autonomously.

Traditionally, human intervention was necessary for coordinating systems and ensuring data connectivity across various tools and departments. However, this new digital foundation automates those processes, allowing for smooth end-to-end operations. In a world where human effort (10%) is complemented by AI capabilities (90%), focus can shift towards more creative and high-value tasks.

Here’s what Business Orchestration aims to achieve:

• - Full digitalization of business processes and rules from end to end.
• - Orchestration tools that manage interactions among humans, AI, RPA (Robotic Process Automation), and systems.
• - Effective tracking and management of human tasks and outcomes.
• - Storage protocols for processing information and data based on defined business processes.
• - A virtually integrated system that allows for access to all data across the organization.

Book Structure

The book is organized into five insightful chapters:
1. How AI Agents Will Transform Japanese Corporations: Embracing a Collaborative Era of Humans and AI
2. Making AI Agents Work: Harnessing Business Orchestration
3. Understanding Digital Transformation in the Age of AI Agents: Five Keys to Genuine Change
