**About 'AI Requirements Definition Summit 2026'**
Japanese companies have traditionally created unique value by meticulously incorporating on-site wisdom into operations and finely crafting business processes and systems. At the heart of this was precise customization tailored to the actual conditions on the ground. These efforts have nurtured operational excellence, where business operations themselves become a source of differentiation, supporting the competitiveness of Japanese companies.
In recent years, however, the idea that 'standardization is justice' and 'customization equals inefficiency' has been gaining traction. While issues like labor shortages and technical debt are real, abandoning customization itself—Japan's strength—could lead to a loss of competitiveness. What is needed now is not to stop customizing, but to evolve into a structure that allows for 'strategic customization.'
The key to this is 'requirements definition,' the process of verbalizing operations and requests and translating them into design. This area has long been challenged by a reliance on individual experience and intuition, leading to a 'siloing of expertise.'
However, recent advancements in AI are expanding the possibilities of structuring the knowledge of requirements definition, allowing it to be shared and utilized throughout an organization.
At this event, SIers, corporate IT/DX departments, and engineers and product personnel from SaaS companies will gather to discuss, from a practical perspective, how to transform on-site wisdom into design using AI.
