DX Practical Course Utilizing AI & Blockchain

From "knowing about AI and blockchain" to "mastering them at work."

In recent years, generative AI and blockchain have rapidly spread worldwide, significantly changing the way we work and how business is conducted. Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is now being utilized in a wide range of tasks including writing, document creation, research, programming, marketing, and design, with many companies adopting it as a core technology for DX (Digital Transformation). Meanwhile, blockchain is creating new value across various fields beyond just crypto assets, such as supply chain management, identity verification, digital certificates, Web3, NFTs, and DAOs.

However, many people are stuck at the stage of simply thinking, "I know AI is amazing," or "I've heard the term blockchain before."

  • You have tried ChatGPT, but in the end, you are only able to use it as a substitute for searching.

  • I want to introduce AI into the company, but I don't know which operations to start with.

  • You think blockchain is a technology only for crypto assets.

  • I have been put in charge of promoting DX, but I don't know what criteria to use for making decisions.

  • I want to consider new business ventures utilizing AI, but I can't come up with any ideas.

  • Technology is evolving so fast that I don't know what I should be learning.

There are many people who share these same concerns.

To solve these challenges, this course is structured not as a "course to learn technology," but as a "course to utilize AI and blockchain to achieve results at work."

Rather than using difficult technical jargon or mathematical explanations, we provide easy-to-understand explanations for beginners from a practical perspective, covering "why this technology is necessary," "what kind of operations it is used in," and "how it should be implemented in your own company."


Practice-oriented curriculum

This course goes beyond simple knowledge input.

While actually using generative AI such as ChatGPT,

  • Methods for streamlining research

  • How to create proposals in a short amount of time

  • How to utilize AI in marketing

  • How to efficiently create presentation materials

  • How to automate information organization and minute-taking

  • How to redesign daily workflows with AI at the center

You will learn practical know-how that can be applied directly in the field.

Furthermore, regarding blockchain,

  • What is blockchain?

  • Why it cannot be tampered with

  • What is Web3?

  • Concepts of NFT, DAO, and Token Economy

  • how companies are actually utilizing it

  • Relationship with DX

  • In which industries it will become widespread in the future

You will systematically learn these topics through specific case studies.

The goal is not to memorize the technology itself, but to acquire the ability to determine "which challenges this technology should be applied to."


Sharing real-world insights cultivated in the field

While providing DX support, new business development, and market entry support for startups and corporations both domestically and internationally, the instructor has implemented Generative AI and blockchain into actual businesses to drive operational improvements and value creation.

Based on that experience, this course will focus not on "what is theoretically possible," but on "methods that are actually being used in the field."

Not only successful examples of AI implementation,

  • Why it failed

  • What kind of challenges occurred on the ground

  • What business owners prioritize

  • What is needed to make AI permeate among employees?

  • The difference between tasks that should be left to AI and tasks that should be handled by humans

We will also introduce many insights that can only be shared through actual practical experience, such as these.


Acquire the "mindset" required in the AI era

AI is evolving extremely fast, and new services are appearing one after another. Therefore, even if you only learn "how to use this tool," there is a possibility that the knowledge will become outdated in just a few months.

In this course, we will focus on more than just how to operate specific tools;

  • How to integrate AI into business operations

  • What types of tasks are suitable for AI

  • How to enhance competitiveness by utilizing AI

  • Mindset for achieving successful DX

  • How blockchain will change society

We emphasize these kinds of "essential ways of thinking."

Therefore, even after the course ends, you will have acquired the ability to organize information on your own and apply it to your work whenever new AI services or technologies emerge.


What you will gain from this course

By taking this course,

  • Skills to master the use of generative AI in practical business operations

This course is designed to help you acquire "practical skills" rather than just "knowledge."

AI and blockchain are no longer technologies reserved only for a handful of engineers. In the coming era, there will be a demand for individuals across all industries and roles who can properly understand these technologies and apply them to practical business operations.

This course aims to take you from a state of "knowing about AI" to being able to "transform your work using AI and blockchain."

If you want to acquire the power to connect the latest technologies to your own work, organization, and new businesses—rather than letting them end as mere trends—we invite you to take this course.

Hello
This is Ryoya Hironaka

An entrepreneur and business development leader specializing in Go-To-Market (GTM) support for the Japanese market, new business development, and DX promotion for domestic and international startups. I have supported numerous projects across a wide range of sectors—including AI, Web3, entertainment, SaaS, and hardware—assisting foreign companies with their entry into Japan, facilitating business alliances with domestic firms, and leading the planning and execution of marketing strategies.

Currently, at Sekaichi Inc., I oversee the GTM-BPO (Go-To-Market Business Process Outsourcing) business for overseas companies. We provide end-to-end support for the processes required to enter the Japanese market, ranging from market research and sales strategy to partner development, PR/marketing, and sales channel establishment. The companies I have supported to date span a wide range of sectors, including AI, healthcare, IoT, consumer products, and the creator economy, as I work on business development that connects global startups with Japanese corporations.

Additionally, as an investor, I invest in seed and early-stage startups, supporting companies not only in terms of business growth but also in capital policy, overseas expansion, and business strategy. My distinctive approach emphasizes not just the technology itself, but the perspective of "how to implement it into a business and translate it into social value."

In recent years, I have been actively incorporating generative AI and blockchain into practical operations, working on improving operational efficiency, creating new businesses, and promoting organizational DX. In addition to accumulating practical know-how in research, planning, document creation, marketing, and sales support using generative AI such as ChatGPT, I am also involved in digital identity and Web3-related projects utilizing blockchain technology.

In this course, we will not only learn how the technology works, but also focus on the theme of "how to truly utilize AI and blockchain in the field." By incorporating actual business cases and experiences of failure and success, I will provide the knowledge and mindset that participants can put into practice starting tomorrow.
