SCHEDULE

May 16th, 2026

Generative AI Utilization Seminar

Venue: Hall

9:00-10:0021A

"Feb 2020 Revisited: The AI Shock 'Arrival Order' and Job Impact Map"

February 2020 was "normal." AI is in the same phase now. Which jobs will change and in what order? We visualize this using "Danger / Redesign / Augmentation" categories and design your "evolution route" rather than "remaining life." Topics: Characteristics of replaced tasks / Sources of remaining value / Warning signs for digital-only jobs / The next wave (Legal, Finance, Accounting, CS, etc.) Takeaway: 60 minutes to find your "winning strategy" rather than "risk level."

Moderator:Takeshi Izuka
Panelists:Kentaro Ejima, Masahiro Okamura, Kenken, Ryo Sato, Shinichi Shirakawa, Jun Saito
10:00-11:0022A

"High Earners Don't 'Operate': The Art of 'Delegation Design' to Make AI Your Subordinate"

The difference isn't prompts, but how you segment work (Delegation Design). Those who use AI as a search engine stall; those who use it as a task force thrive. We'll template the common format of high-performers (Goal → Constraint → Evaluation → Iteration). Topics: AI delegation boundaries / Quality metrics / Reducing back-and-forth instructions / Why free versions aren't enough.

Moderator:TBD
11:00-12:0023A

"Designing 'AI Deliverables' that Move Bosses and Clients: Driving Decisions, Not Just Generation"

Anyone can make "plausible" docs with AI. Value lies in deliverables that trigger decisions. Learn how to implement structures (Points → Evidence → Options → Decision) for winning proposals and documents. Topics: Structuring persuasiveness / Anticipating objections / Placing data and evidence / Editing rules to remove "AI-ness."

Moderator:Shinichi Shirakawa
12:00-13:0024A

Lunch

13:00-14:0025A

"The End of the 'Worker': Redefining Your Job with 'AI First' (Transition to AI Designer)"

Value shift from "workers" to "designers" who oversee workflows, instruct AI, and integrate results. Don't fear displacement; learn the framework to redesign your entire role using AI. Topics: Task decomposition (Task → Judgment → Responsibility) / AI prioritization / Designing human oversight / AI team role design.

Moderator:Kenken
14:00-15:0026A

"Non-Engineers Winning with 'Data': How to Master AI x Analysis for Decision Making"

No SQL or Python needed. AI becomes your analyst. The key is how to ask and connect findings to decisions. Using real KPIs and ops data, learn the "Hypothesis → Verification → Proposal" model. Topics: Feeding data / Preventing misinterpretation / High-impact executive communication / Dashboard translation.

Moderator:Kota Suzuki
15:00-16:0027A

"Get Certified as 'AI Talent' in the Job Market: How to Build a Track Record, Not Just a Title"

"I can use ChatGPT" isn't enough. You need proof of results. Learn how recruiters define "AI Track Records" and design a portfolio (Ops improvement, automation, analysis, etc.) in a short time. Topics: Tracking granularity / Visualizing results (Before/After) / Demonstrating skills while maintaining confidentiality / Resume optimization.

Moderator:Shinichi Nakamura
16:00-17:0028A

"Monetizing Time Created by AI: Roadmap for Side Hustles, Freelancing, and Overseas Projects"

Saving time is meaningless without monetization. From side hustles and small contracts to products and overseas gigs, we outline the path to earning as an individual. Topics: High-value deliverable types / Proposal crafting / Pricing strategies / Minimum setup for global outreach.

Moderator:Akiko Sato
17:00-18:0029A

"Be on the 'Free Side' in 3 Years: AI Era Personal Strategy Workshop (Discard, Learn, and Implement)"

AI isn't "coming"; it's here. To be on the side that uses AI, not the side used by it, we'll build your 3-year plan today. We cover what to learn, what to discard, daily experimentation, and assets (skills, trust, authority). Takeaway: Your personalized 90-day, 1-year, and 3-year action plan.

Moderator:Takeshi Izuka
Panelists:Yasuhiro Arai, Koro Momose
