ALL DIFFERENT Unveils True Skills for Success in the AI Era

In a world where AI continues to play an increasing role in business operations, ALL DIFFERENT, a leading consulting firm based in Tokyo, is stepping up to offer crucial insights that can help organizations thrive in this new era. With over 20,000 companies and 4.7 million individuals supported in organizational development and human resource training, ALL DIFFERENT aims to present strategies for effective AI adaptation. This will take center stage during an event hosted by the Sankei Shimbun on September 11, 2026, titled "AI-Driven Organizations: Transitioning from Adoption to Adaptation."

The Changing Landscape of AI in Business

The introduction of generative AI has marked a significant shift for many companies, transitioning from experimental phases to practical applications aimed at improving efficiency and productivity. Recent research conducted by ALL DIFFERENT reveals that 91.8% of new employees recognize the importance of utilizing AI in their work. However, as organizations embrace AI, challenges have emerged. Many are facing obstacles such as discrepancies in AI application skill levels among employees or unsatisfactory productivity gains despite implementation.

In this competitive landscape, the ability to leverage AI effectively is more crucial than ever. Companies cannot merely depend on a select few employees who may be proficient in AI; they must foster an environment where the entire organization can adapt and thrive alongside technology. This necessity highlights the importance of developing a robust management strategy that can guide companies in adjusting to the demands of an AI-driven market.

Topics for Discussion

The session at the upcoming conference will delve into the critical factors hindering widespread AI adoption and its resultant productivity outcomes. The presentation is framed around the insights from various research studies, aiming to illuminate practical methods for integrating AI throughout an organization rather than viewing its implementation as a final step. Attendees can expect to learn about strategies that link AI adaptation to overall business success.

Who Should Attend?

This session is geared towards executives, management executives, and leaders in planning, DX, and IT implementation departments. It is tailored for those grappling with the following issues:

- Companies that have initiated AI adoption yet are struggling to witness expected results or improvements in productivity.
- Organizations where AI usage policies and guidelines have not permeated, resulting in confusion and local rules taking precedence.
- Firms experiencing disparities in AI literacy and application skills among their employees.

Speaker Highlights

The session will feature Toshiyuki Tanaka, Executive Fellow at ALL DIFFERENT. Mr. Tanaka has an extensive track record, having delivered over 3,000 lectures in various formats, including public seminars and corporate training. His experience spans across numerous industries, including insurance, telecommunications, manufacturing, and IT, and he has successfully supported around 300 companies. As a co-author of multiple publications in the field of talent development, his insights will be invaluable for organizations aiming to elevate their AI capabilities.
