Dooox Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryosuke Kubodera), which develops the 'Special Task Force for CEOs' to support executives with 'important but not urgent' challenges, conducted the 'Generative AI Workshop for Executives' at the Kyoto Economic Center on April 23, 2026, in collaboration with Osaka Small and Medium Business Investment & Consultation Co., Ltd. Twelve executives from ten portfolio companies participated in the three-hour session, working on management issues using the latest generative AI tools.
### Changes Created by Workshops: 65 Companies in 4 Cities Over Six Months
Starting with the Osaka event in December 2025, the tour has reached Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and now Kyoto as the fourth city. A total of 65 companies have participated over the last half-year. Participant feedback has evolved from initial interests like 'first time touching AI' to more practical needs like 'wanting to implement it in specific tasks' and 'sharing it with employees.' In the Kyoto session, some executives even participated for a second time to further refine their AI utilization image.
### Workshop Overview
- **Name:** Generative AI Workshop for Executives
- **Date:** April 23, 2026 (Wednesday) 13:30 - 16:30
- **Venue:** Kyoto Economic Center
- **Organizer:** Osaka Small and Medium Business Investment & Consultation Co., Ltd.
- **Instructor:** Go Asaka, Head of Sales Management Office, Dooox Inc.
- **Participants:** 12 executives and managers from 10 companies
### Event Details
The venue, Kyoto Economic Center, is a central support hub for SMEs in the Kyoto area. The session began with instructor Go Asaka demonstrating the latest trends and major tools for text, image, video, and audio generation. In the latter half, participants worked on deepening their own management issues using AI, creating outputs on the spot through dialogue with the AI. Unlike typical seminars, the 'hands-on' design led to participants feeling that AI is 'usable' rather than just 'interesting.'
### Participant Feedback
- 'I understood how to face AI and want to utilize it in my business.'
- 'The hurdle for AI utilization has lowered. I want to share this with other employees.'
- 'I felt the potential of AI through practice.'
- 'By actually using it, I could imagine how to apply it to future operations.'
### Future Developments
The next event will be held on May 12, 2026, at the Yonago Convention Center (Yonago City, Tottori). This will be the 5th location and the first in the San-in region. Dooox aims to create an environment where executives can drive their own AI adoption regardless of region.
### New Short-Term Intensive Program
Responding to demands for internal implementation, Dooox has launched 'Special AI Intensive Dojo.' This program provides two days of close instruction (one instructor for two participants) to build custom AI tools, followed by three months of support for internal adoption. The goal is to move from 'touching' to 'implementing' and 'integrating' AI into management.
