WorkX Establishes AX Promotion Office

In a bold move to enhance AI and data consulting services, WorkX, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has launched the AX Promotion Office within its data division, LeanDataX. This new initiative is designed to support the acceleration of AI transformation among Japanese companies by providing comprehensive AI service development, governance expertise, and strategic consulting.

Background of the AX Promotion Office

The advent of AI is fundamentally altering business operations and workflows, much like the internet did in the past. WorkX recognizes that merely providing project-based consulting is inadequate in this transformative era. Instead, they aim to fundamentally redesign businesses’ processes and systems to elevate productivity.

Thus, the company is evolving its role to become a dedicated AX partner for its clients, focusing on redesigning strategy, operations, governance, and human resources with AI as a central premise. The establishment of the AX Promotion Office signals WorkX's commitment to driving corporate transformation in the AI age.

Six Key Areas of Focus for the AX Promotion Office

The AX Promotion Office will lead efforts in six pivotal areas:

1. Company-wide AI Native Integration
The first step in supporting clients' AX initiatives is to transform WorkX into an AI-native organization internally. By implementing AI across various departments such as sales, recruitment, operations, and knowledge management, WorkX aims to demonstrate AI transformation effectively and credibly to its clients.

2. AI Literacy Education and Cultural Development
To become an AI-native enterprise, it’s essential for employees to understand AI mechanisms and leverage them appropriately. WorkX will not only educate its own staff but also provide AI literacy programs, hands-on training, and knowledge sharing to client organizations, fostering a culture that embraces AI for operational enhancement and value creation.

3. Next-generation Consulting Services
The delivery model for consulting projects will be reimagined with AI at the forefront. WorkX plans to consolidate insights from over 8,000 professionals registered on its ProConnect platform, building a knowledge base that enhances accessibility and reduces reliance on individual expertise.

4. Rapid Deployment of AX Solutions
In addition to conventional digital transformation efforts, WorkX aims to deliver holistic approaches that encompass management strategies, business reforms, system implementations, and organizational embedding. This will facilitate a seamless acceleration of clients' AX initiatives using generative AI, AI agents, data infrastructure, and business AI applications.

5. Promotion of AI Service Development
Leveraging the knowledge accumulated by LeanDataX, the company will develop new AI services and business AI applications tailored to client needs. By focusing on practicality, WorkX aims to stimulate new business creation and enhance decision-making processes.

6. Establishment and Dissemination of AI Governance Methodologies
As AI usage expands, ensuring safety and reliability becomes paramount. WorkX will develop structured methodologies for AI governance, addressing risk management, security, data protection, quality assessment, and accountability, thus creating a trustworthy environment for companies to utilize AI.

Future Outlook

As WorkX embarks on this journey with the establishment of the CAIO and AX Promotion Office, it aims for swift growth as an AI-native organization. The company's mission is to empower all businesses to adapt to AI, contributing to Japan's vision of becoming
