By deeply understanding management challenges and on-ground operational processes, And-Dot supports everything from selecting the most suitable AI technologies to implementing them and ensuring their integration into the company culture through education.

Objective of the Training

Tokyu Fudosan Holdings has set ambitious goals such as training over 10,000 personnel in digital transformation (DX) and investing more than 100 billion yen in technology. TFHD Digital, tasked with driving these efforts, enlisted And-Dot due to their extensive experience in leveraging AI for over 300 companies and more than 250 municipalities. The training program was designed to be immediately applicable, ensuring that participants could utilize their newly acquired skills promptly in real-world contexts.

Chapter 3: The Three Essential Skills for the Generative AI Era

This chapter emphasized the foundational elements of the AI Skill Pyramid®. Participants learned about AI Literacy (understanding AI’s value, usage risks, and limitations), AI Creativity (conceptualizing potential applications), and Prompt Design (skills for eliciting desired outputs from AI), all through interactive workshops.

Chapter 4: Distinctive Strategies in the AI Era and Paid Features of Copilot

The final chapter introduced advanced functionalities of Microsoft 365 Copilot, such as integration with Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and Excel, highlighting specific use cases for enhancing efficiency in report creation, automatic slide generation, minute-taking, and data analysis.
