• CEO as Lead Instructor: CEO Kojiro Takeishi will personally serve as instructor and curriculum supervisor, delivering practical content tailored to executives. • Insights from Over 1,500 Corporate Trainings: Leveraging knowledge and data accumulated from past training programs, the workshop emphasizes a unique approach focused on "innovative thinking and mindset." • Hands-On Experience Design: The workshop is structured not just to "learn about" generative AI, but to "use" it during the session, enabling participants to gain insights applicable to executive decision-making and operational transformation.

Target Audience The workshop primarily targets executives and management-level personnel from companies and organizations headquartered or primarily operating in the Sendai and Tohoku regions. We welcome executives interested in organizational adoption of generative AI and its application in strategic decision-making.

Comment from CEO Kojiro Takeishi I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to speak at the Sendai City-hosted 'Sendai X-TECH Innovation Project 2026-2027' kickoff event. Generative AI is not merely a tool for operational efficiency—it has the power to transform executive decision-making and the very nature of organizations. Together with business leaders from Sendai and Tohoku, we aim to create a practical learning environment that advances generative AI usage from simply "using" it to "coexisting" with it. x3d will continue to support the integration of generative AI into corporate and societal culture.
