New Book from Bloom Inc. Examines Data Challenges in AI Adoption

Bloom Incorporated, based in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and led by CEO Eigo Hayashi, has officially released a new book titled "9 out of 10 Companies Stumble Over Data Instead of AI: Insights from 50 Companies Seriously Utilizing AI (vol. 1)" on Amazon Kindle. This release comes at a critical time as organizations increasingly adopt AI technologies, often facing challenges that stem not from the technology itself, but from inadequate data management practices.

Background of the Publication

The rapid proliferation of generative AI has prompted numerous businesses to integrate artificial intelligence into their operations. However, many organizations report a lack of tangible results, with common complaints such as ineffective AI tools, low employee engagement, and projects that fail to progress beyond the proof-of-concept (PoC) stage. While around 70% of Japanese companies are considering or have implemented AI, only a handful are achieving company-wide success.

Bloom has distinguished itself by fully implementing AI across its operations, successfully applying it in diverse areas such as sales, human resources development, and knowledge management. During this journey, a crucial realization emerged: the key to successful AI utilization lies not in the selection of AI tools but in the meticulous organization of data. This book systematically compiles practical insights, aiming to provide easily digestible guidance for managers and stakeholders in small and medium-sized enterprises who seek to leverage AI.

Overview of the Book

In this work, the author analyzes common pitfalls companies encounter when attempting to employ AI. He introduces a framework titled “Collect, Store, Utilize,” which outlines the concrete steps necessary for effective data organization and AI implementation.

Features of the Book
