ExaWizards Inc (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Makoto Haruta; hereinafter referred to as “ExaWizards”) announces the launch of the ‘AX Ideathon,’ a co-creation workshop for implementing generative AI in enterprises. The AX Ideathon program will solve issues faced by DX promotion departments, etc., such as searching for use cases, materialization, and promoting the use of generative AI. The AX Ideathon provides consistent support for the design, operation, and execution of the workshop and the selection of business transformation ideas that contribute to the PoC, all to facilitate the implementation of generative AI within the organization.
ExaWizards will support enterprise transformation through the power of AI and design.
☑Features of the AX Ideathon -Support in 4 phases over 8 weeks
The AX Ideathon is a co-creation workshop program supporting ideas for change, such as improving business efficiency, enhancing the customer experience, and promoting the use of generative AI. The program takes place in four phases over eight weeks, leveraging the knowledge gained from “AX Sprint,” a program already offered by ExaWizards that set DX measures for AI utilization.
Features of the AX Ideathon are as follows:
(i) Early use of generative AI to generate ideas
The AX Ideathon will use prompts from exaBase Generative AI powered by GPT-4 (exaBase Generative AI), our ChatGPT service for corporate customers*, to generate ideas on how to use Generative AI. ExaWizards’ AI consultants will examine the client’s issues and devise prompts to ensure familiarity with generative AI for idea generation.
* The exaBase Generative AI will be available to participants free of charge during the Ideathon.
(ii) Uncovering DX talent
Ideas on how to use generative AI will be solicited internally during the AX Ideathon. This allows us to discover “potential human resources” with collaborative mindsets who can think on the go and respond to the challenges of this new technology. Inviting these people to participate will improve the quality of the Ideathon and secure human resources who will lead the transformation.
(iii) Promote generative AI at the company
After discovering human resources and scenarios for generative AI, we will provide support for these ideas to take root in the company. We will plan briefing sessions for the entire company and management on the use of generative AI and design incentives for generative AI personnel, taking advantage of this opportunity to promote generative AI within the company.
☑ AX Ideathon precedents and customer testimonials – JFE Engineering’s prior adoption
The AX Ideathon supported JFE Engineering’s request for ideas on how to materialize ideas for solving business issues using generative AI.20 people participated in the Ideathon and created 10 generative AI use cases.
Satoko Kawamoto, Digital Solutions Department, DX Promotion Center, DX Division, JFE Engineering commented–
“Participating employees stated ‘It was a difficult challenge, but we want to continue with this program.’ As these ideas were shared within the company, other employees began to ask for advice on how to use generative AI. I expect that continuing these activities will serve as a bridge to promote DX throughout the company.”
