授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
This course aims to equip aspiring and established leaders from various industries with the knowledge and skills to leverage Big Data and AI effectively, gaining a competitive advantage over their competitors. Participants will learn how to harness their data and employ cutting-edge technologies to establish stronger connections with their customers. By applying the principles of Design Thinking methodology, they will not only analyze data and utilize technology but also comprehend and expand their capabilities, seamlessly integrating them into their organization's strategic framework. Ultimately, this course empowers participants to become adept leaders who not only understand data and technology but also leverage them strategically to drive their organizations towards success.
授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course
What do web search, speech recognition, face recognition, machine translation, autonomous driving, and automatic scheduling have in common? These are all complex real-world problems, and the goal of Big Data & Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to tackle these with rigorous mathematical tools. In this course, you will learn the business opportunities generated from these applications, practice implementing some of these systems and understand how the world and the business is changing. Specific topics include the intelligence cycle, disruptive innovation and, of course, the basics of digital technologies. The main goal of the course is to equip you with the tools to tackle new opportunities offered by Big Data/AI you might encounter in life, by applying Disruptive Innovation, a methodology based on Design Thinking.
This course is instrumental because it will prepare leaders to harness the power of disruptive innovation before their competitors will do. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of what disruptive innovation is, and will learn how to spot potential threats and opportunities in their own business.

AI and Big Data Now - Why This Time it’s DifferentArtificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data are rapidly emerging as the most important and transformative technology of our time. Recent advances, particularly in machine learning - a computer’s ability to improve its performance without human instruction - have led to a rapid proliferation of new applications that are changing the game for companies in almost all industries.

A growing proportion of human activities such as social interactions, entertainment, shopping, and gathering information are now mediated by digital devices and services. Such digitally mediated activities can be easily recorded, offering an unprecedented opportunity to study and measure intimate psycho-demographic traits using actual — rather than self-reported — behavior. Such Big Data assessment has a number of advantages: it does not require participants’ active involvement; it can be easily and inexpensively applied to large populations; and it is relatively immune to cheating or misrepresentation. The question is: What Data and Technology can push forward the company business?●使用するケース

Connected-customer strategyA connected-customer strategy is a customer engagement approach that aims to create a seamless and integrated customer experience across all touchpoints and channels. This approach is centered on the idea that customers should feel connected to a brand regardless of the channel or device they use to interact with the company. To achieve this, companies must focus on delivering a consistent and personalized customer experience that leverages data and technology to create a holistic view of the customer. By implementing a connected-customer strategy, companies can increase customer loyalty, improve customer satisfaction, and drive long-term business growth.

A note on Class participation:
Grading class participation is necessarily subjective. However, I try to make it as “objective as possible”. Some of the criteria for evaluating effective class participation include:
1 Is the participant prepared? Do comments show evidence of analysis of the case? Do comments add to our understanding of the situation? Does the participant go beyond simple repetition of case facts without analysis and conclusions? Do comments show an understanding of theories, concepts, and analytical devices presented in class lectures or reading materials?
2 Is the participant a good listener? Are the points made relevant to the discussion? Are they linked to the comments of others? Is the participant willing to interact with other class members?
3 Is the participant an effective communicator? Are concepts presented in a concise and convincing way?
Class Participation 40%
This course covers a significant amount of content and much of the learning comes from in-class exercises and discussion. Therefore, students are expected to attend all class sessions, complete all assigned readings and come prepared and ready to participate. Attendance will be taken and participation will be evaluated at each class session. Participation in all on-campus sessions in their entirety is mandatory, and students may not be late or leave early for any of these sessions. Failure to be in attendance for the entirety of the session will result in removal from the class.
Individual final project and cases 60%
The Individual final project is meant to be a culmination of all the learnings in the class, that is reinforced by the cases; to do well on this report it is imperative to draw upon the readings and discussions in presenting your analysis.
Please kindly explain in your report the solution you propose for the problem and deeper need you have identified.
• Write a word document (with no upper or lower word-count limits) where you demonstrate what you have learnt in class, by answering in details, giving at least an example for each questions, all the points below.
1. What is the problem? (Distinguish problem from pain points)
2. Who has the problem? (Define your user by age, gender, social status, what type or product or service is purchasing/receiving, the level of satisfaction, the pain points, the frequency of use…)
3. What is your proposed solution? (state clearly in a sentence and repeat it at the end of the report A [label] that allows [users] to [benefit] by [method])
4. How did you reach this solution? (Explain in detail your disruptive innovation process across the 4 dimension of expansion, reductio…)
5. What is the value of solving that problem with your solution? (Show why this solution has value, why it is useful to that user, based on the need/deeper need you identified by observing/thinking of the user)
6. What is the technology you propose for your solution? Why? (Define what technical solution you have found, by searching what is available in the market)
7. What are the human skills required to solve the problem? Why? (Define what human skills and/or training are necessary, by searching what could be the technology limitations that need to be compensated by the human)
8. What is your most important learning for this course? (What is different now, compared to before you started the course)
Please take into account that I reward critical thinking and specifically
• RELEVANCE is the solution addressing the right problem?
• COHERENCE how well does the solution fit?
• EFFECTIVENESS is the solution achieving its objectives?
• EFFICIENCY how well are resources being used?
• IMPACT what difference does the solution make?
• SUSTAINABILITY will the benefits last?
So, jot down what questions you have asked yourself, to reach the conclusions.
Do your best to show that you have been critical, so what you propose makes sense from a business, technology and ethical/legal point of view.
Try not to just propose a solution that is neither impossible to produce, advertise and monetise, nor propose to use technology as a magic wand.
Think instead of a problem first, without considering technology at this stage.
Think of a possible ecosystem, a possible alliance, a different business model or a new model for revenues (the analogic vs. digital toothbrush example), the data you need to have and why these data.
Then think how technology could help you, by looking at what is available on the market.
I do not expect you to propose a detailed technical solution, but, yes a business sound solution using a technology that may have been used by someone else and you could use too.
Remember to list briefly how you are going to integrate the solution, to overcome skepticism from investors and solution users. Just show that you understand the final goal of using these technologies to solve your problem. And of course, explain what are the business and ethical implications.
The assessment criteria are:
Coherence: the smooth and logical flow of writing
Consistency: the uniformity of style and content
Originality: the ability to think independently and creatively
Accuracy: explaining in detail what is your solution about

評価の留意事項 Notes on Evaluation Criteria
Assessment reflects the quality of a student’s active participation in class discussions. Much of a manager’s success depends on communication; therefore, effective oral communication will constitute the student’s grade. Written work should be clear, logical, grammatically correct, spell-checked, persuasive, supported by examples, and backed up by citations for any data, ideas or other content used. It should represent the student’s best effort. To do well on the writing reports, you will need to incorporate and apply the course readings.A note on Class participation:
