GLOBIS Launches AI Dialog Training for Enhanced Interpersonal Skills

On March 17, GLOBIS Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, introduced a transformative feature within its corporate e-learning service, "eMBA": the "AI Dialog Training". This innovative course allows employees to develop essential interpersonal skills through realistic voice interactions with AI. The training emphasizes actual business scenarios, encouraging practical skill-building rather than mere theoretical knowledge.

What is AI Dialog Training?

GLOBIS has integrated cutting-edge AI voice dialogue technology with its extensive expertise in management education to create this new curriculum. Starting with subjects centered on "Empowerment," "Power and Influence," and "1on1" meetings, participants engage in repeated roleplay exercises simulating real business situations. The goal is to cultivate skills that enable them to influence and motivate others effectively.

As the demand for interpersonal skills continues to grow, GLOBIS plans to expand this training to other areas where these skills are critical. Their commitment to developing resources that lead to "behavioral change" in corporate training is at the forefront of this initiative.

Background of Development

GLOBIS has a longstanding mission to cultivate business leaders by systematically providing the skills necessary for producing tangible outcomes in the workplace. Central to this mission is the recognition that interpersonal skills—particularly communication—are vital for leaders seeking to mobilize their organizations. While video-based learning has simplified knowledge acquisition, what leaders truly require is the ability to apply that knowledge effectively in practice.

Communication skills, in particular, are honed through repetitive practice rather than just theoretical understanding. However, real-world constraints—including the psychological pressure associated with making mistakes, time limitations faced by supervisors and colleagues, and the heavy workload of training personnel—often impede opportunities for adequate practice.

To address these challenges, GLOBIS has developed the "AI Dialog Training," a novel training method that balances the volume of practical application output with the objective evaluation of that output. By facilitating interactions with AI, participants can practice without the constraints of time limitations or psychological pressure, enabling the effective acquisition of interpersonal skills and visualizing dialogue capabilities.

Service Overview

The new course, "AI Dialog Training," will initially cover the topics of "Empowerment," "Power and Influence," and "1on1" strategies. Participants will engage with AI in voice dialogue as they navigate through roleplaying based on genuine business situations.

• - Price: 39,600 JPY (including tax) per course

Unique Features of AI Dialog Training

The hallmark of GLOBIS's "AI Dialog Training" is its unique iterative learning model that follows a cycle of "practice and evaluation → theoretical learning → re-engagement and evaluation." The core of this model involves immersive roleplay scenarios where the AI generates finely-tuned narrative branches based on participant responses. Unlike open-ended free conversations with AI, this structured approach allows participants to overcome realistic communication challenges in a psychologically safe environment, enabling multiple attempts at mastering complex interactions.

Additionally, this practice is evaluated using GLOBIS's proprietary metrics, allowing the visualization of interpersonal skills that have traditionally been subjective. This feedback fosters more objective assessments of performance.

The Three-Step Learning Process

1. Visualizing Current Skills through AI Roleplay
Participants first engage in roleplay with AI dialogue, receiving immediate evaluation based on practical business knowledge. This initial assessment helps identify strengths and areas for improvement, thus clarifying previously unrecognized challenges.

2. Theoretical Input for Solutions
After identifying challenges during roleplay, theoretical frameworks that guide solutions are presented systematically. Through narrative-driven explanations, participants can comprehend concrete actions based on their identified issues and effectively integrate this understanding as solid knowledge.

3. Re-practice for Skill Transition
Following theoretical input, participants face updated roleplay scenarios. By quickly applying their lessons learned, they reinforce new skills and build confidence for real-world implementation. Comparing results from initial responses allows participants to reflect on their growth.

Example Roleplay Scenarios

Consider a scenario within the "Power and Influence" course, where participants act as digital transformation leads facing resistance from a veteran employee about existing systems due to potential organizational chaos. Engaging with someone who has more experience in the field requires navigating the nuances of emotional conflicts, primarily where logic may undermine past efforts. Participants learn to cultivate the skill of building trust and encouraging cooperative engagement rather than forcing their own correctness amidst resistance.

GLOBIS's "AI Dialog Training" thus prepares participants to master the skill of navigating sensitive dialogues and achieving collaborative outcomes.
