Session 4 (Aug 5 - 7) is open. 10 seats per session.
Not replacing people with AI, but redesigning business processes around AI agents. You practice the transformation that autonomizes decisions, execution, and operations to raise productivity exponentially.
Hire, train, and delegate to AI staff. Take the blueprint home.
Systems that once cost 50 million yen can now be built by an executive in about a month. During the retreat you complete a working prototype and take it home.
The spec, the build, all yours.
After the retreat, work that used to take two days now takes an hour. Sharing what I learned with my team made the whole company about five times faster, and before I knew it, my own management OS had been rewritten.
If I was level 1 before joining, I was level 20 by the end. I honestly doubted the claim that I could finish an app worth over 10 million yen in development costs myself, but it really got done. Now I build business apps on my own, quickly.
As an executive, I went from concept to spec to development to deployment myself, without writing code. I am now translating all of my management know-how into AI staff to automate the organization. It truly felt like the start of a new era.
It felt like warping through years of solo trial and error. The dots kept connecting throughout. Since coming home I have been experimenting with AI almost every day, and enjoying it.
AI will change the world. Even the education and rural healthcare work I dreamed of doing after retirement may need a different approach. It was a precious few days that taught me not to cling to old ways.
Hands-on AI discussions, the energy of international entrepreneurs, and the calm air of Sanuki. It was a dense, precious few days, and I am grateful for how much I learned from everyone.
From the Organizer
The era of merely "using AI well" is coming to an end.
Basic use of generative AI is now a commodity. What will be asked of executives, directors, and CxOs next is not to use AI, but to build the systems their companies need themselves, and to redesign the organization itself as an AI company.
This retreat is not about studying AI tools. It concentrates on implementation and organization. Over three days in a quiet schoolhouse in Sanuki, Kagawa, you will complete a working prototype and begin the transformation into an AI company.
When executives hesitate to implement AI, it is a loss not just for their company but for Japan as a whole. Take the first step with us and turn this wave of change into an opportunity.
