Schoo Launches 'Kizuki Dialogue': An Interactive Program to Enhance Learning Quality

Schoo Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenshiro Mori), which promotes social transformation through internet-based learning and education, has officially launched 'Kizuki Dialogue,' an interactive learning program that facilitates a seamless transition from 'verbalizing learning' to 'behavioral change' through dialogue. This program combines pre-viewing of videos and assignments with a workshop on the day, helping participants internalize their learning through peer interaction and encouraging insights and behavioral changes that lead to practical work. Having already been experienced by over 1,000 people, mainly at large companies, 93% of participants in surveys reported that 'learning together was fun,' which also contributes to forming motivation for continuous learning.

Background of Service Provision: With the rapid spread of generative AI, the premises of work and required skills are being updated in short cycles. Companies are now being asked how to foster a mechanism within the organization that allows employees to continue learning and connect that learning to practical work while testing it in the field. On the other hand, group training and e-learning tend to be input-centered, and there are deep-seated issues such as 'what is learned is not utilized in the field' and 'training becoming a formality.' In this situation, what is needed is to shift to autonomous learning by leveraging the benefits of training that efficiently teaches 'correct answers' while allowing employees to verbalize their learning and gain 'diverse solutions' through dialogue with others.

What 'Kizuki Dialogue' Achieves: 1) Updating thinking from others' perspectives: By borrowing others' perspectives (other-brain) instead of thinking only within one's own framework (self-brain), it becomes easier to gain new ideas and insights that lead to the next step. 2) Drawing out proactivity through the process of 'verbalization -> dialogue -> acquisition -> action': It designs a flow that encourages employees to take ownership of their learning. 3) Establishing a learning culture and strengthening 'connections': By sharing experiences and personal learning, it strengthens connections within the organization (social capital) and accumulates wisdom (learning capital) to resolve uncertainty.

Program Overview: 'Kizuki Dialogue' is a 1-day program that takes at least 150 minutes, consisting of pre-learning and a workshop. It includes video viewing and pre-work (approx. 60 min) and a workshop (90 min on the day). It can be used for leadership training, new employee training, and cross-organizational learning. Schoo provides support from planning to reporting.
