Kanri no Pro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shiro Matsumura), which operates a back-office BPO business, will launch the 6-week practical online program 'AI-Driven Back Office Practical Program' for PM and consultant professionals, supervised by AI entrepreneur and business consultant Mr. Shishigami, as its first term on May 18, 2026. The first term is limited to 10 participants and will be offered at a special price of 100,000 yen (tax included), an 80% discount from the regular price of 500,000 yen. The program is designed to provide a seamless path to practical work, including introducing BPO projects held by Kanri no Pro as side jobs starting from 15 hours per month after program completion. Reservations for preliminary consultation sessions are currently being accepted on the program's special website (https://kanri-pro-aibpo.com/).
**Background: The wave of AI displacement is also affecting the white-collar market in the IT industry, while the AI x BPO market is expanding to 40 trillion yen.**
According to IMF estimates (2024), generative AI will impact 40% of jobs globally and 60% in advanced economies. Goldman Sachs (2023) points out that 300 million jobs are at risk of displacement. Indeed, in 2024, large overseas companies such as Klarna, Duolingo, and Salesforce reported layoffs of 700 to 1,000 people, and early retirement offers are rapidly increasing at major domestic IT companies.
On the other hand, according to SHIFT's Q2 financial results for the fiscal year ending August 2026, the potential of the AI BPaaS market exceeds 40 trillion yen. The BPO and digital worker market alone, which Money Forward has announced its entry into, reaches 14.1 trillion yen. The transition to the Native AI era is predicted to be faster than any previous technological shift, taking 5 to 10 years, and there is currently an overwhelming shortage of "personnel who can introduce and operate AI" in corporate back-office areas.
**What is the new profession of 'AI Agent Manager'?**
The 'AI Agent Manager' trained by this program is a new profession that accelerates corporate DX by utilizing AI agents and various tools. Its characteristic is that it allows PM and consultant professionals to directly apply their skills in "requirements definition, progress management, and coordination" rather than engineering. They will fulfill the following three roles:
Role 1: Elicit on-site requirements through dialogue
Role 2: Design and operate AI agents
Role 3: Ensure post-introduction adoption
**Concept of this program and the three values it provides**
Content
Skill: Arm yourself with AI x BPO implementation skills in 6 weeks of practical training.
Pivot: Turn IT experience into a weapon in non-IT markets.
Project: Provide seamless support, including introducing side job projects.
The biggest feature is that it solves the problem of traditional reskilling programs where "there are no projects after learning," by designing a path that leads directly to practical work.
**Overview of the 6-week curriculum**
The program adopts a format where participants implement tasks based on orientations from virtual clients each week. It covers a range of tools that are immediately useful in practical work, such as Claude Desktop / Claude Code / GAS / Manus / freee MCP / n8n / Vercel.
**Reasons for choosing this program**
1. Collaborative system with professional BPO
Leverage Kanri no Pro's BPO track record as an asset. By communicating directly with professional BPO staff to gather requirements, it's possible to avoid requirement bloat and client troubles, focusing on results achievable in the field.
2. Main battleground is intervention in existing systems
The content is practical, focusing on inserting AI into operational SaaS and business workflows, rather than new development or infrastructure setup. Support includes document organization and onboarding assistance.
3. Design to "translate" IT experience
This unique design translates PM/consultant skills in requirements definition, progress management, and coordination into the language of the back-office domain, which is a non-IT market.
**Support System:**
Dedicated mentor support (from task setting to implementation and improvement)
Unlimited chat support for questions
Student community
Continuous provision of video lectures, templates, and case studies
**Career Paths after Graduation:**
Career advancement within the company (core personnel for business improvement and DX promotion) / Side jobs utilizing specialized skills / Freelance/side jobs (AI utilization support, business improvement consultant) / Entrepreneurship/new business. Kanri no Pro provides a project participation flow that introduces side job opportunities after completion.
