Business Co-creation Company Relic Launches "Generative AI Business Development Training" to Experience and Learn Cutting-Edge New Business Development Processes Utilizing Generative AI End-to-End

Relic Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takaaki Kitajima; CTO: Ryo Oba), a business co-creation company, has released the "Generative AI Business Development Training" program, which allows participants to experience and learn the cutting-edge new business development process in the generative AI era. This training is a human resource development program that innovates the entire business development flow, from idea generation to prototype development and customer validation, using generative AI, and significantly enhances the execution capabilities for business promotion.

Purpose of Offering

This program fundamentally solves the structural challenges faced by business professionals and non-engineers in traditional new business development, such as "idea depletion," "costs and time involved in prototype development," and "low accuracy of hypothesis validation," by leveraging generative AI. Through this training, participants can acquire hands-on experience with cutting-edge new business development methods that allow them to "challenge quickly, repeatedly, and with high accuracy." The goal is to increase the number of business development opportunities while also improving the quality of each opportunity, thereby elevating the productivity of new business development and strengthening the execution capabilities of the entire organization.

Three Main Contents Comprising the Training

This training is structured to provide an end-to-end experience of the following three processes.

1. Ideation Using Generative AI

This is a new approach to idea generation that uses generative AI to rapidly produce a large number of business ideas that align with a company's strategies and assets. In addition to creating prompts tailored to your company using general-purpose generative AI such as Copilot and ChatGPT, you can also experience cutting-edge idea generation using Relic's proprietary business idea generation SaaS "IDEATION Cloud" (URL: https://ideation-cloud.relic.co.jp/), which combines generative AI with data from promising startups worldwide.

2. Product Development Using Generative AI (Vibe Coding)

This is a new development method that creates functional products such as landing pages (LPs), administrative screens, and web applications simply by giving instructions in natural language to generative AI. Even non-engineers and business professionals can bring their ideas to life as prototypes on the same day.

3. Customer Validation Using Generative AI

By utilizing generative AI for everything from designing discussion points to analyzing results and extracting insights, the validation process is significantly accelerated using the self-created product for interviews and sales. Furthermore, you can experience agile, high-speed PDCA cycles unique to the generative AI era by immediately reflecting customer feedback into the prototype. During the validation period, Relic's new business and generative AI professional staff will provide support and appropriate feedback as mentors.

Three Features of "Generative AI Business Development Training"

1 Incorporate Cutting-Edge Business Development Processes into Your Company's Own Business Development Methods

Instead of learning how to use individual tools in isolation, the business development flow itself is updated to the latest form. By increasing the number of opportunities and improving the quality of each, new business productivity is elevated, transforming the organization into one that can "challenge quickly, repeatedly, and with high accuracy."

2 Enable Evidence-Based Idea Generation Using the Proprietary Idea Generation SaaS "IDEATION Cloud"

Move beyond brainstorming from scratch. By starting with business models that have succeeded globally, the quality and probability of initial ideas are fundamentally improved, leading to smoother internal approvals and persuasive presentations to management. The risk of investing in low-probability ideas and failing is reliably reduced from the idea generation stage.

3 Complete Hypothesis Validation with Only Non-Engineers and Business Professionals Using Generative AI Era Methods

Hypothesis validation can be conducted solely by business department personnel without being bogged down by the time required to arrange engineers or adjust development budgets. Because you can "ask with a working product" to customers, validation accuracy increases, and because you can "fix it on the spot," reflection of validation results is faster. This allows for steady improvement in the certainty of business proposals while keeping costs down.
