We support 'April Dream,' an initiative that encourages people to share their dreams on April 1st. This press release represents the dream of INDUSTRIAL-X, Inc.
INDUSTRIAL-X, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomonori Yago; hereinafter 'the Company'), which supports corporate transformation through data-driven management, has decided to transition to a 'decentralized holding structure' by April 1, 2026, as the ultimate corporate form for the AI era, where all employees become independent business leaders (CEOs).
To date, the Company has supported corporate DX and data-driven transformation through AI utilization. The new structure announced today is the final form of a corporate organization for a new era where AI serves as the core of the workforce, allowing humans to be liberated from 'tasks' and, armed with the intelligence of one million people, to continuously update all industries as a 'will for transformation.'
Background of the Initiative
Traditional corporate organizations have required pyramid-style, centralized 'management' for information sharing, decision-making, and resource management. However, in the modern era, where AI agents can autonomously perform most complex coordination tasks and practical work due to the dramatic evolution of AI technology, traditional hierarchical structures have become bottlenecks that slow down the speed of transformation.
We define all employees as 'Autonomous Management Owners' who fully utilize AI to drive business, and we will evolve into a 'next-generation guild-type organization' where independent change-makers gather with a shared purpose and the strongest weapon (a knowledge database). This is a challenge to dismantle the 'company for management' and redefine it as a 'platform for accelerating transformation.' This platform will constitute a common 'Industrial Transformation OS: IX-Core,' serving as a shared infrastructure that aggregates both formal and informal knowledge across all industries to support all leaders promoting AI transformation who join the guild.
Details of the Initiative
Under this structure, each owner will develop an 'AI Full-Tune Business' targeting all industries through the following mechanisms:
1. 'Industrial Horizontal Knowledge DB' that synchronizes the knowledge of one million people
We will open a '1-million-person AI skill database' to all owners, which structures the skilled expertise, professional knowledge, and tacit knowledge from the field across all industries, including manufacturing, logistics, construction, and retail. By synchronizing this vast knowledge with their own AI agents, each owner can identify issues with the same resolution as an expert with decades of experience, even in unfamiliar industries, and derive optimal transformation plans in 0.1 seconds.
2. Command of an 'AI Agent Corps' to complete practical work
Each business owner will possess multiple AI agents within their 'one-person company' to handle functions such as sales, marketing, accounting, development, and project management. The cost of human-to-human coordination, such as hiring, training, and meetings, will be reduced to zero, and owners will devote all their energy solely to presenting a vision of 'what must be accomplished' and making final 'management decisions.'
3. 'Co-creation Hub' and knowledge feedback where change-makers from all industries gather
This guild will open its doors to 'AI transformation leaders' outside the company, functioning as a 'co-creation hub' where transformation projects from all over Japan gather. Data from the countless transformation processes conducted here will be fed back in real-time to the 'Industrial Transformation OS: IX-Core.' This builds a 'knowledge evolution spiral' where the OS becomes smarter by the second and the latest success patterns are shared with all guild members.
4. Deployment of 'IX-Physics' to support on-site implementation
Beyond digital optimization, in scenarios requiring physical on-site implementation, we will deploy 'IX-Physics,' an AI-equipped hardware device. Even at sites with legacy equipment, physical intervention linked to the AI OS will complete real-world updates 24/7 without interruption.
Future Outlook: A Roadmap to Turning Dreams into Reality
This grand vision is by no means a pipe dream. The 'Digital Transformation Self-Checker' we released recently, which visualizes a company's position regardless of industry, is positioned as the 'first step' of this initiative to digitize professional knowledge across all industries and automatically support transformation.
We will continue to announce concrete actions following the 'Self-Checker,' filling in this puzzle of the future one piece at a time. By circulating wisdom from both inside and outside the company, we will redefine Japan's 'on-site capabilities' as the world's strongest asset. INDUSTRIAL-X will steadily and rapidly implement the future where AI and humans run side-by-side as the best partners into society.
