Discover the First Steps to AI Adoption for CEOs

In the rapidly evolving world of business, the conversation around generative AI like Claude and ChatGPT never seems to fade. Yet, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) remain uncertain about how to begin utilizing these technologies. The upcoming seminar titled, "The First Step for CEOs to Introduce Generative AI to Their Companies," serves as an engaging gateway for executives who are yet to adopt AI solutions within their operations.

Seminar Overview

On July 31, 2026, at 5:00 PM, this seminar will be hosted by K.K. Keiei Sanbo, at the coworking space by favy in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and made accessible online via Zoom. This event is specially tailored for CEOs, successors, and executives who have not yet explored the potential of generative AI. The seminar focuses on guiding participants through their initial steps in harnessing AI technology within their own business contexts.

The renowned Yukinosuke Matsuda, president of Primavela, which has achieved remarkable success with 16 consecutive years of revenue growth, will be leading the seminar. Attendees will gain not only theoretical insights but also practical experience through hands-on activities that will allow them to apply AI tools directly within their businesses.

Why is This Seminar Necessary?

Despite the buzz surrounding AI technologies, many leaders find themselves stuck in a dilemma. They repeatedly express concerns like: "I don't know where to start," or, "I’ve tried it before but couldn't implement it into our processes." By keeping the seminar exclusive to those who have not initiated AI projects, the atmosphere encourages open dialogue devoid of preconceived knowledge or intimidation. Everyone begins from the same fundamental understanding, creating a supportive environment for inquiry and exploration.

Key Features of the Seminar

• - Identifying Core Business Functions for AI Integration: Participants will learn the structured approach of the AI Utilization Model, focusing on determining the most impactful areas for AI adoption, rather than just implementing arbitrary tools.
• - Hands-on Experience: Attendees will get to experiment with tools like Claude and ChatGPT in real-time. For those hesitant about technology, detailed guides and instructions will be provided to ease their journey into the AI realm.
• - Real-world Case Studies: Insights from Primavela will provide a realistic view of both the mistakes and successes experienced by SMEs while integrating AI, offering valuable takeaways applicable in participants' own organizations.
