Generative AI Workshop: A Practical Approach for Business Transformation

On October 17, 2025, a transformative workshop on generative AI took place at the Tennoz Central Tower, organized by Nakagawa Special Steel Co., Ltd., bringing together nine companies from the tower to explore the practical use of this innovative technology. The event was spearheaded by Dooox, a company renowned for assisting businesses in navigating non-urgent yet significant challenges.

Understanding the Urgency of AI Adoption in Businesses

The rapid proliferation of generative AI technologies offers remarkable opportunities for streamlining operations and enhancing competitive advantages. However, many companies, particularly SMEs, express uncertainty about where to start. Common concerns include a lack of actionable insights on how to utilize AI tools effectively. The workshop aimed to bridge this knowledge gap by providing a hands-on experience that emphasized not just understanding AI but mastering its application to improve business operations.

Blending Theory and Practice for Immediate AI Skills Acquisition

The workshop was structured to help participants gain a comprehensive understanding of generative AI in just two hours by combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice.

Practical Session: Solving Real-World Business Challenges

During the second part, participants engaged in hands-on activities targeting the specific challenges they face in their operations. By interacting with generative AI tools, they explored practical solutions tailored to their unique needs. The emphasis was placed on not just manipulating the AI tools but also fostering a mindset of inquiry, encouraging participants to utilize AI as an active collaborator in problem-solving. This approach enabled nearly all attendees to develop actionable strategies relevant to their businesses within the short duration of the workshop.
