Unlocking the Power of AI: A Seminar on Strategies for Utilizing Copilot and Microsoft 365

Embracing AI: Strategies for Effective Utilization

As artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly, many organizations face the common challenge of not fully leveraging the AI tools they have implemented. To address this issue, Sankei Shimbun will host an online seminar titled "Unlocking the Power of AI: A Seminar on Strategies for Utilizing Copilot and Microsoft 365" on March 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM JST. This event aims to provide participants with tangible strategies to enhance the return on investment (ROI) from AI technologies while fostering a deeper understanding of how AI can be effectively integrated into business operations.

Keynote Address: The Divergence Point Beyond Data Analysis

One of the highlights of the seminar will be a keynote address by Daisuke Washizu, the CEO of FP&A Lab. In his speech, he will explore the transformative potential of AI not just as a tool for streamlining processes but as an extension of human thought. Washizu emphasizes that the evolution of AI lies not only in its ability to analyze data faster and more accurately but in fundamentally changing the way people think about decision-making. Mastering AI involves viewing decision-making as a continuous process of hypothesis formation and updating rather than a one-off judgment. By utilizing data analysis powered by AI, companies can radically alter their decision-making strategies and drive substantial improvements in ROI.

Corporate Presentations: Discovering the Joy of Strategic Decision-Making with Copilot

Following the keynote, attendees will participate in corporate presentations featuring prominent figures from leading companies. Kenki Hirai from Microsoft Japan, Kunitaka Matsuo from Japan Business Systems, and Fumiko Sadamae from Dynabook will discuss how to create optimal environments for AI agent utilization in both software and hardware. The presentations will focus on the moment when the use of Copilot transforms work from mere task completion to strategic decision-making. This shift opens up opportunities for professionals to explore and enjoy analytical thinking, even those who may not initially feel comfortable with numbers.

Through this seminar, participants will receive essential insights and tips on using AI tools like Copilot and the Microsoft 365 suite to improve business strategies and analyses.
