Insights from the Generative AI Workshop for Executives

On July 14, 2026, in Gotanda, Tokyo, a unique workshop titled 'Generative AI Workshop for Business Leaders' was held, co-hosted by Dooox, led by CEO Ryosuke Kubodera, and RSM Seiwa Audit Corporation. The primary aim was to bridge the gap in understanding how generative AI can be applied in everyday business processes.

Why This Workshop?

With the rise of generative AI technologies, many business executives have expressed uncertainty. Questions such as how to effectively utilize these tools within their own organizations and how to respond when asked by employees reveal a pressing need for education in this area. By having executives engage directly with generative AI, we believe it fosters a sense of empowerment that can cascade to employees, promoting a culture of innovation.

The workshop emphasized the importance of hands-on learning, ensuring that participants not only understood the theory behind AI but also gained practical skills that would allow them to utilize these technologies immediately in their work.

Workshop Structure

The workshop followed a carefully designed structure starting with fundamental concepts of generative AI. Participants were taught the latest advancements in AI capabilities, contextualizing this information within current business trends. This foundational knowledge allowed everyone to share a common understanding before moving forward.

The sessions were interactive, focusing not only on how to use specific tools but also on how to frame questions effectively. Rather than teaching predetermined formulas, the goal was to encourage participants to formulate their inquiries based on individual business needs, emphasizing the critical role of questioning in extracting valuable insights from AI systems.

Practical Application

A vital component of the workshop was to help participants leave with a clear vision of how to integrate generative AI into their operations. Understanding how to identify which tasks AI might best support is essential for practical implementation. This approach ensured that participants could envision practical applications for generative AI, and the workshop fostered an environment where they could confidently experiment with the technology afterward.

Feedback collected from participants highlighted the workshop's effectiveness:

• - One participant noted a broadened perspective on available tools, realizing the potential for diverse applications in their work.
• - Another emphasized that reflecting on their own processes during practical exercises led to actionable insights for improvements.
• - Additionally, several attendees, some of whom had minimal exposure to generative AI beforehand, expressed newfound confidence in utilizing these tools in their professional tasks.
