AI-Powered Transformation in Back-Office Operations

Conduct Corporation, based in Setagaya, Tokyo, is spearheading a revolution in back-office functions with the launch of its innovative "Claude Practical Training Program." This initiative aims to nurture a new breed of corporate talent equipped to harness the capabilities of Anthropic's advanced AI, Claude, to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of back-office operations.

The Evolution of AI Agents in Business

Since 2025, AI has rapidly evolved from a simple text-generation tool into a sophisticated agent capable of autonomously performing complex tasks. The Claude ecosystem developed by Anthropic is at the forefront of this evolution, offering powerful capabilities in logical reasoning and process development specifically tailored to key areas such as finance, human resources, legal, and corporate management. As a result, back-office operations are experiencing a significant transformation, redefining standards through a suite of advanced tools, including:

• - Claude Code: An agent-based coding tool that operates in terminal mode.
• - Claude Cowork: A user-friendly agent tool for non-engineers.
• - Claude Cowork Finance: Autonomously conducts financial analysis, budget management, and report generation.
• - Claude Cowork Legal: Assists with contract reviews, NDA triage, and compliance tasks.
• - Claude in Excel: Analyzes complex workbook structures and executes function construction and numerical analysis.
• - Claude in PowerPoint: Aids in creating slides based on proposed structures and objectives.
• - Model Context Protocol (MCP): Enables seamless integration with accounting and HR systems, as well as platforms like Slack and Notion.

These advancements allow AI agents to undertake repetitive data processing and document creation, thus freeing human resources for higher-level strategic tasks. The back-office of 2026 will necessitate skills not only in existing IT tools but also in incorporating AI agents into business design processes.

Cultivating Next-Generation Back-Office Talent

In this new AI-driven landscape, the role of back-office personnel is shifting from being mere executors of tasks to becoming designers and managers of business processes. The "Claude Practical Training Program" aims to develop professionals who possess the following three essential elements:

- 2nd Step (Business Design): Conducting a review of current business operations and learning to build autonomous workflows on the premise of AI agents.
- 3rd Step (Advanced Techniques): Practicing actual workflow improvements and laying the groundwork for continuous business enhancement while nurturing the skills required for strategic management decisions.

3. Expert Guidance from Industry Professionals: Instructors include specialists in accounting, tax, and HR, who offer insights on practical considerations and internal controls, ensuring that training encompasses regulatory compliance and industry practices.
