Chisoku, a business strategy school, and THA Inc., which operates the AI President service, are collaborating to provide a learning experience utilizing AI Yu-hei for members.
Isshi Inc. will fully launch its management education initiatives utilizing generative AI at its business strategy school, "Chisoku."
Through this initiative, members will be provided with a learning experience using "AI Yu-hei" to support managers and business leaders in organizing their company's business challenges and clarifying what judgments should be made next.
While generative AI can streamline tasks such as document creation, information organization, and idea generation, what is truly important in management is not obtaining answers from AI, but the ability to judge "what to believe," "what to prioritize," and "in what order to execute" based on one's own company's situation.
Chisoku positions AI Yu-hei not merely as a chat tool, but as a learning experience to foster the "judgment skills" required in the generative AI era, and will fully roll it out to its members.
Background of the Initiative
A preliminary survey conducted for Chisoku members regarding the "AI Yu-hei Utilization Study Session" revealed that while many members were already using multiple generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, they also raised issues such as "difficulty in giving effective instructions or prompts," "anxiety about the accuracy of responses," and "uncertainty about how to integrate it into their work."
Furthermore, there were many requests for private consultations and discussions via closed direct messages, indicating a high need among managers and business leaders for personalized consultations, clarification of issues, and decision-making support that considers their company's specific situation, going beyond mere information gathering and document creation.
Positioning of AI Yu-hei
AI Yu-hei is not a substitute for general-purpose AI such as ChatGPT.
It is an AI utilization tool that connects with Chisoku's curriculum and consultation sessions to help managers and business leaders structure their company's business challenges and clarify the issues that need to be judged next.
Key usage scenarios include:
- Organizing the reasons for stagnant sales - Articulating bottlenecks in the overall business - Organizing priority measures and judgments for the next steps - Organizing consultation content before monthly wall-hitting sessions - Clarifying issues related to new business, hiring, organization, marketing, etc. - Organizing actions after wall-hitting sessions
Chisoku aims to reduce the time managers spend worrying alone and lead to higher quality decision-making by combining monthly wall-hitting sessions with Yuhei Shibata and daily issue clarification using AI.
Unlike general-purpose AI such as ChatGPT, AI Yu-hei connects with Chisoku's curriculum and wall-hitting experience to support the organization of business challenges.
Development Partner THA Inc., a client company of Chisoku, Participates
THA Inc., which operates the AI President service, is participating as a development partner in the development of AI Yu-hei.
THA Inc. is also a client company of Chisoku, and has supported the development of AI Yu-hei based on its understanding of Chisoku's emphasis on "fostering managers' own judgment skills" and its learning experience centered on wall-hitting sessions.
Chisoku positions this initiative not merely as the introduction of an AI tool, but as a new form of management education born from co-creation with client companies.
Feedback from Study Session Participants
The post-study session survey for the AI Yu-hei utilization study session received a high satisfaction rating of 8.7 out of 10.
Participants provided the following feedback:
"I felt I could proceed with a sense of what numerical data is necessary within my company's information but is not readily available, and what is needed as a person beyond just numbers, which made me want to have a proper wall-hitting session."
"I was helped by the detailed explanation from the basics."
"I'm glad I can use AI Yu-hei."
In this study session, the evaluation was not only for the functions of AI Yu-hei itself, but also for the concept of how managers can organize their company's situation and clarify issues before wall-hitting sessions.
Future Developments
Chisoku will continue to promote the systematization of preparation for wall-hitting sessions using AI Yu-hei, its connection with the Chisoku curriculum, and support for organizing business challenges and issues for each member.
With generative AI, gathering information and creating text has become easy. However, what is truly important in management is judging what to discern, what to discard, what to prioritize, and in what order to execute.
Chisoku will continue to be a place where managers can hone their ability to think for themselves and advance their businesses, even in the generative AI era.
Representative's Comment
Yuhei Shibata, Representative Director of Isshi Inc. / Chisoku Host
Generative AI has greatly improved the efficiency of information gathering and text creation.
On the other hand, what is truly difficult for managers is judging "what to research," "which information to trust," and "what should be prioritized in our company's case."
Chisoku's goal is not to have AI provide answers. It is to foster the judgment skills that enable managers to think for themselves and advance their businesses, while utilizing AI.
