While the evolution of generative AI has made translation easier, have you noticed issues such as "slightly different expressions each time" or "terms not being standardized"?
Especially in tasks that handle many specialized terms, the review process after translation can be time-consuming, often leading to decreased productivity. In many cases, the cause is not the AI's performance but the "lack of term standardization."
When expressions vary with each translation, the effort required for checking and corrections increases, resulting in decreased work efficiency.
This seminar focuses on the specific usage of MTrans for Office and clearly explains the causes of such “translation inconsistencies” and their solutions.
We will specifically introduce practical points such as how to set up and operate the glossary function, how to register and manage terms, and how to utilize them in actual translation work.
We will also introduce how to use the new AI assistant feature. We will share key points to achieve more accurate translation operations while incorporating the convenience of generative AI.
This content is useful not only for those who are already using MTrans for Office but also for those considering its use. If you want to achieve both translation quality and operational efficiency, please join us.
*Please note that participation from other companies in the same industry and individuals is not allowed.
Shaping the Future of Learning Support with the Latest Moodle x CampusLA ～
Moodle, a digital learning platform that continues to evolve in educational institutions worldwide.
The vast amount of learning logs accumulated through daily class management are the definite "learning traces" showing each student's efforts and growth.
Noticing the small signs hidden within these logs early and providing support at the right timing is becoming the most important aspect of university education going forward.
In this seminar, we will introduce the features and functions of the latest version of Moodle, which is key to data collection, and present a system that uses the new features of "CampusLA," released in March 2026, to quickly detect signs of academic difficulties and enable early outreach to students.
Venue: This seminar will be held as a "webinar" that you can watch online.

On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, we will co-host a web seminar with Bocek Inc.
"Reduce Internal Inquiries in Just One Hour! What Are the Conditions for a 'Good Manual' Required in the AI Era?"
will be held.
"We tried in-house AI, but the accuracy was not achieved" — 90% of such companies had issues not with AI, but with the data.
Despite spending labor to create manuals, the field does not read them. As a result, questions flood in. Many may feel, "The same question has come again..." This is the most frequently heard feedback from support sites of over 100 companies.
Why do inquiries not decrease even though there is both AI and manuals?
The cause often lies in "how the manuals are created." If the manuals are not easy to understand and read for humans in the first place, AI cannot comprehend them either — unaware of this fact, many companies that proceeded with AI implementation are now struggling with "irrelevant answers" and "hallucinations."
In this seminar, a manual design expert (Human Science) and a generative AI implementation expert (Bocek) will co-present. They will explain, with practical examples, "the approach to manual organization and information design necessary to enhance AI effectiveness" and "an engineer-free method for building RAG."
HR and talent development personnel who feel that although training and reskilling initiatives are being implemented, they are unable to effectively explain their contribution to organizational outcomes and business growth
Those who feel that learning initiatives such as English training and DX training end with just attending the course and do not lead to practical application or retention
HR managers who are required to expand human capital investment while needing to explain the investment effects and ROI to executive management
Those who are struggling with how to combine and design multiple talent initiatives such as global talent development and reskilling
Those who want to design talent development initiatives not as one-off training sessions but as a system that includes learning opportunities, skill acquisition, and condition management
Seminar Information
Due to global competition and the acceleration of technological innovation, companies are required to make continuous investments in human resources and capability development.
On the other hand, there are many cases where human resource development and learning initiatives are implemented individually, and the connection to organizational outcomes is not sufficiently designed.
What is important is to design human resource investment not as a one-time training, but as an integrated system that includes providing learning opportunities, skill acquisition, practical application, and visualization of effectiveness.
This webinar explains design methods to strategically enable human resource investment from the perspectives of talent development, reskilling, and utilization of health data.
Participating Companies
This seminar is hosted by SpeakBuddy and held with the cooperation of companies that have supported the process of learning—"starting, continuing, and linking to results"—from different perspectives.
This session brings together four essential perspectives to delve deeper into the theme.
1: SpeakBuddy Inc. (Organizer)
Designing English training that connects global talent development to practical skills
2: Human Science Inc.
How to create a development system that does not end human capital investment with "one-off training"
3: Aidemy Inc.

For everyone considering manual preparation using generative AI to eliminate personalization in back-office operations.
In back-office operations such as accounting, human resources and labor, general affairs, and sales administration, accuracy is required, while updates due to legal revisions and changes in internal rules also occur frequently.
The dilemma of "manuals are necessary to eliminate dependency on specific individuals, but creating them is itself a significant burden" never ends.
Interest is growing in using generative AI as a solution, but we often hear concerns like the following.
・Not sure which specific tasks it should be used for
・Low accuracy results in not achieving the expected outcomes
・The business process becomes a black box
In fact, the key to successful AI utilization in tasks requiring accuracy lies in establishing the "criteria" that determine which steps are entrusted to AI and which are performed by humans.
This seminar will explain everything from these "standards" to "specific applications."
Human Science, experts in manual creation, will explain the "criteria for AI utilization" during manual creation to prevent black-boxing.
Furthermore, we will introduce the latest case study where the developed manuals are linked to RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and explain the future vision of manual development that leads to the elimination of individual dependency.
Then, through a demo of Konica Minolta's manual creation and management tool "COCOMITE," we will show concrete measures to reduce the workload on-site, such as AI-based manual creation and a new AI proofreading feature that prevents inconsistencies in rules.
Human Science, which supports AI utilization from manual creation, and Konica Minolta, which provides "COCOMITE," will generously share the knowledge they have accumulated.
We sincerely look forward to the participation of everyone aiming to transform back-office operations.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will accept consultations regarding any issues you may have.
If you wish to participate, please select "Yes" for "Individual Consultation" on the application form. (Limited to the first 3 groups)

Get Organized First! Utilizing AI Starts with "Building the Foundation"
— Learning from Case Studies: "Readable Documents" and Knowledge Utilization Systems —
The recording will be distributed.
We also accept consultations regarding knowledge management using generative AI.
If you wish to participate, please select "Request" under "Individual Consultation" on the application form. (Limited to the first 3 groups)
*Please note that participation by competitors and individuals is not allowed.
In companies that have introduced generative AI and RAG for knowledge utilization, it is not uncommon to face the following issues.
・The information you want to know does not come up
・Incorrect answers are output
・Answers lack consistency even for the same question
The cause may not be the performance of generative AI itself, but rather that the “foundation” for utilizing generative AI is not properly established.
For example, even if RAG is introduced, if “readable documents” for generative AI are not prepared, the accuracy of responses will not be stable as mentioned in the concerns above, and on-site users will judge it as “difficult to use” and “unreliable.”
As a result, it will not be utilized, and the time and cost spent on implementation and preparation will be wasted, often leading to losses for the organization.
We have leveraged our expertise in manual creation to support the "organization of documents and the establishment of systems that ensure their continued use."
In this seminar, we will explain the specific steps for organizing documents to maximize the effectiveness of generative AI, incorporating real-world examples.
Of course, this will be helpful not only for those considering the introduction of generative AI but also for those who have already implemented it and are facing challenges such as "answer accuracy not improving" or "not becoming as smart as expected," providing practical hints to concretely understand the causes and solutions.
We have also launched a "Special Site for Generative AI" featuring columns useful for generative AI × knowledge utilization and detailed service introductions! Please make use of it for pre-study before the seminar and review after participation.
・Those who want to advance AI utilization by leveraging manuals and existing documents
・Those who want to prevent knowledge from becoming personalized and establish it within the organization
・Those who have introduced RAG but have not seen the expected results
・Those interested in knowledge management using AI

How to Build Web Manuals with Modernization
~Production Workflow Utilizing Generative AI~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In the seminars held in July and November 2025, we introduced how to create web manuals that are "easy to build and simple to operate" using Markdown, which received great acclaim. This time, based on that proven method, we will explain in detail how to build a production workflow utilizing generative AI.
In many companies, the use of generative AI is transitioning from the trial-and-error phase to full-scale operation. The field of manual creation is no exception. However, there are challenges such as existing editors having limited generative AI features and difficulty integrating them into in-house production workflows. Additionally, from the perspective of compatibility with generative AI, there is a growing demand for writing manuals using lightweight markup languages (Markdown/Asciidoc).
This seminar introduces the concept of a "microservices architecture," which is not tied to any specific tool, as a method to modernize the manual production workflow. We will explain concrete techniques for integrating generative AI into a production platform centered on lightweight markup languages (Markdown/Asciidoc), including a demonstration of AI-based proofreading and checking.
A must-see for everyone from manual managers to production staff who want to utilize generative AI in manual writing!
Eligible Persons

This seminar has closed for applications.
At Human Science, we will conduct the following session.
Session Date and Time
Wednesday, November 12, 2025, 1:25 p.m. – 2:05 p.m.
Session Title
Get the Basics Right First! AI Utilization Starts with "Building the Foundation" – Learning from Case Studies about "Readable Documents" and Knowledge Utilization Systems
Example
Although generative AI has been introduced, the expected effects are not being achieved... The cause may not be the AI's performance but rather the lack of a "foundation for utilization." Even if RAG is introduced, if "readable documents and knowledge" for AI are not properly prepared, it is common that the expected effects are not realized.
In this session, based on case studies, we will introduce the concepts of document organization and information design to maximize the effectiveness of AI utilization, as well as the actual organization process.
We support the creation of "knowledge utilization systems" based on manuals. If you are considering using manuals and knowledge as a basis for AI utilization, are thinking about introducing AI, or have already introduced it and want to ensure effective results, please join us.

Don't just settle for slides! How to master video features ~ Introduction to iSpring's screen recording (iSpring Cam Pro) ~

iSpring Suite MAX is not just about converting slides! In fact, it comes with various tools that allow you to edit audio, edit videos, record your screen, and more.
In this seminar, we will introduce the "iSpring Cam Pro" (screen recording), one of the features that is "actually not used very much?". Since you can record operations performed on your computer screen in video format, you can easily create video manuals that convey key points just by watching, using iSpring Suite MAX.
Have you ever received inquiries from customers or internal members about specific settings or operations...? "It would be quick if they could just see the operation, but how should I convey it...?" Such concerns can be easily resolved with iSpring Cam Pro. Not only recording, but you can also combine other videos and background music to create clearer and more understandable videos.
We hope this opportunity will help you get to know iSpring Suite MAX more deeply, including features you may not have been very familiar with.
We sincerely apologize, but we may have to decline requests from other companies in the same industry and individual business owners. Thank you for your understanding.
This seminar is recommended for such representatives
- Those who want to fully master iSpring Suite MAX
- Those involved in developing training and human resource development programs or creating teaching materials within their organization

- Those looking for simple video editing methods
Whether you have just started using iSpring Suite MAX or are considering its introduction with no prior experience in operation, you are very welcome.
We sincerely apologize, but we may have to decline requests from other companies in the same industry and individual business owners. Thank you for your understanding.

Why are inquiries not decreasing even though we have published an FAQ? - Explanation of the self-resolution mechanism and content
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
Recently, many companies have been working on creating and improving FAQ sites to enhance customer support efficiency and reduce costs. However, even after publishing FAQs, many companies may still be struggling with not seeing the expected decrease in inquiries.
Despite being listed in the FAQ, we receive inquiries stating that "the explanation is unclear."
・Customers cannot quickly find the information they are looking for in the FAQ search.
・The support desk is experiencing high demand, and staff are overwhelmed with responses.
・Complaints from customers such as "unable to contact" and "slow response" are occurring
To solve these challenges, it is important to build a self-support environment where customers can smoothly resolve their own questions. Additionally, improving the clarity of the FAQ content published in that environment is effective.
In this seminar, we will specifically introduce successful case studies of companies that have significantly reduced inquiries and improved customer satisfaction through the implementation of the AI-powered self-support system "Help Dog." Furthermore, we will share methods to continuously improve FAQ sites effectively, even without knowledge or expertise in web marketing, by utilizing the site diagnosis of "Help Dog."
This is full of tips necessary to reduce the burden of customer inquiries and improve customer satisfaction. We encourage you to participate actively.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

The Generative AI Utilization Case Seminar, held in May 2024 and attended by many participants, will be available for recorded streaming due to its popularity!
Manual Pro Talks! Case Study Seminar on Utilizing AI for Knowledge Sharing and Productivity Improvement ~ 2nd Edition: Efforts for Knowledge Sharing Using AI~
The recording will be streamed on December 5th (Thursday) from 12:00 to 13:00.
Immediately after the distribution, we will also accept inquiries regarding the introduction and utilization of generative AI. If you are interested, please select "Request" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form. (First 3 groups only)
———————————————————————————————————————
The introduction of generative AI is expected to maximize productivity by effectively utilizing the internal knowledge and assets accumulated so far, creating an environment where people can work more efficiently.
Human Science, which has supported corporate knowledge management so far, has been considering solutions to the problem of "knowledge being documented but not utilized," which is often encountered in knowledge sharing initiatives. Currently, we believe that by utilizing generative AI, we can solve this problem even more effectively and efficiently.
That said, there are various concerns regarding the use of generative AI in business. For example, "AI producing false information (hallucination)" and "not knowing the basis of the output information" are among them. These are critical concerns when incorporating it into knowledge management.
Therefore, Human Science has focused on a technology called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). RAG is a system that searches for information from external knowledge bases such as internal regulations and company manuals, and generates responses using a large language model (see the figure below). It is said to be able to suppress hallucinations because it can access the latest and most reliable external information.
By using RAG, you can search for information in company regulations and internal manuals through communication tools like Slack. In other words, you can obtain the information you need from reliable sources via a familiar interface. RAG is an ideal method for advancing knowledge management effectively and efficiently.
In this second seminar, we will introduce our efforts in knowledge sharing using RAG. From the perspective of a manual professional skilled in organizing knowledge, ・Knowledge management using generative AI chatbots with RAG ・The quality of documents that promote knowledge management We will present these topics along with demonstrations.
If you are considering the introduction of generative AI within your company or are looking for ways to utilize it, please join us enthusiastically.
*Please note that participation from other companies in the same industry and individuals is not allowed.
Eligible Persons
・Those responsible for promoting the use of generative AI within the company
- Those who are considering the introduction of generative AI but feel unsure about how to proceed
- Those considering the use of generative AI in their business
*Please note that participation from other companies in the same industry and individuals is not allowed.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ① Provision of seminar presentation materials (free) ② Online individual consultation regarding the introduction and utilization of generative AI (free)
*If you wish, please respond to the survey after the seminar. *We will provide further information at a later date.

No more failures! Towards the operation of manuals that are 'used' - Explaining the 'preparations' that lead to the successful introduction of manual creation tools
The recording will be streamed on Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.

Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
———————————————————————————————————————
Manuals that support business efficiency and employee training only demonstrate their value when they are used. To escape the situation of "having created a manual but not using it," more companies are considering and implementing manual creation tools.
However, simply introducing tools does not automatically create manuals that will be "used" and lead to operational progress. The key to establishing manuals on-site and maximizing the benefits of implementation lies in the "preparation before implementation." It is important to identify the challenges hidden in the current manual operations, such as being "difficult to understand" and "hard to find," and to align with stakeholders involved in creating and using the manuals on what the ideal state should be.
In this seminar,

———————————————————————————————————————
As we move past the period referred to as post-COVID, corporate activities are also advancing to the next step. In this context, many companies are struggling with labor shortages and the training of personnel to compensate for this. Manuals are very effective in resolving these issues and enhancing the performance of each employee, but organizing and establishing them can be quite challenging. For example, many may have experienced situations like the following.
・In the first place, there is not enough time, and the creation and updating of manuals are not progressing.
Although a manual was created, the content is difficult to understand and is not read.
・It takes time to find where the manuals are, and they have become obsolete.
- Tools have been introduced, but they are left unattended without being established on-site.
To avoid such situations, it is effective to improve the clarity of the manual itself and to utilize tools that allow for smooth creation, updating, and searching of manuals. In this seminar, we will introduce key points for creating manuals that are actually used, as well as successful case studies where manuals have been successfully established in the field through these efforts.
Managers who want to improve labor shortages through manual maintenance and tool implementation, as well as business improvement personnel whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of knowledge and manuals, are encouraged to participate.
Eligible Persons
・Those considering the development of manuals to address labor shortages and foster talent ・Those struggling with the implementation of manuals and manual tools in the field ・Those considering the introduction of manual creation tools but feeling hesitant due to concerns about their implementation
*Please note that participation from other companies in the same industry and individuals is not allowed.

———————————————————————————————————————
Recently, the awareness of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, has rapidly increased, and many companies have been advancing the technical verification and exploration of the potential uses of generative AI. Moving forward, we are entering a phase where it is necessary to go beyond the realm of 'trials' and fully implement generative AI into actual operations to create results.
The introduction of generative AI is expected to maximize productivity by effectively utilizing the internal knowledge and assets accumulated so far, creating an environment where people can work more efficiently.
On the other hand, many companies that have already begun to consider the use of generative AI seem to be facing significant challenges. Looking at the data below, it is clear that more than half of the companies that are considering or have already adopted generative AI are facing issues related to "human resources and know-how." In fact, there are likely many who are struggling with how to implement generative AI in their operations, saying things like "I don't know how to proceed" or "We don't have personnel with the necessary skills."
To utilize generative AI in business and achieve knowledge sharing and productivity improvement, insights into data preprocessing, workflow design, and prompt engineering for training the generative AI are necessary.
At Human Science, we have been working on workflow design to improve the utilization of generative AI and the quality of outputs from the perspective of "writing and utilization." Based on the insights gained from this effort, we will share key points on how to utilize generative AI in business to promote knowledge sharing and enhance productivity in a two-part seminar.
In this first seminar, we will introduce our efforts towards "Standardizing Document Creation Using Generative AI." We will share episodes of trial and error regarding the use of generative AI in document creation, and from the perspective of a manual professional who excels in organizing business processes, we will specifically introduce points and know-how such as: - How we improved the output quality of generative AI - How we designed the workflow
If you are considering the introduction of generative AI within your company or are looking for ways to utilize it, please join us enthusiastically.
*Please note that participation from other companies in the same industry and individuals is not allowed.
Eligible Persons
・Those responsible for promoting the use of generative AI within the company
- Those who are considering the introduction of generative AI but feel unsure about how to proceed
- Those considering the use of generative AI in their business

No more failures! Towards the operation of manuals that are 'used' - Explaining the 'preparations' that lead to the successful introduction of manual creation tools.
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
Manuals that support business efficiency and employee training only demonstrate their value when they are used. To escape the situation of "having created a manual but not using it," more companies are considering and implementing manual creation tools.
However, simply introducing tools does not automatically create manuals that will be "used" and lead to operational progress. The key to establishing manuals on-site and maximizing the benefits of implementation lies in the "preparation before implementation." It is important to identify the challenges hidden in the current manual operations, such as being "difficult to understand" and "hard to find," and to align with stakeholders involved in creating and using the manuals on what the ideal state should be.
In this seminar,
Methods for issue analysis and consensus building to be conducted before the introduction of manual creation tools

DX Promotion Conference for Manufacturing Companies Day 3: Design DX Day
We will be exhibiting.
This seminar has closed for applications.
At Human Science, we will hold the following seminars.
Example
As DX initiatives progress, the utilization of internal information assets is gaining attention. In the manufacturing industry, there is a demand to efficiently create innovative solutions through DX, making knowledge management of information assets essential for effectively developing technologies and ideas. A particular challenge tends to be the "personalization of knowledge," where knowledge becomes dependent on specific individuals.
・Technical documents such as design documents and drawings are scattered on the server and cannot be found. ・Even if related documents and data are found, the writing style and granularity are inconsistent and difficult to understand. ・Even when referring to work standards, they are written from an engineer's perspective, making them difficult to comprehend.
To overcome this situation, two approaches are necessary: improving the accessibility of existing documents and enhancing the clarity of the documents themselves. However, it seems that many people in the design department feel a sense of difficulty in documenting and utilizing their know-how, despite handling a large number of documents.
In this lecture, Human Science, which has supported the operations of many companies through manual creation, will introduce examples of how to ensure the accessibility and clarity of technical documents and standards in order to utilize more information assets in their DX initiatives and manage knowledge effectively.

Manual Pro Talks! Case Study Seminar on Utilizing AI for Knowledge Sharing and Productivity Improvement ~ 2nd Edition: Efforts for Knowledge Sharing Using AI~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
2024 is said to be the year when the results of utilizing generative AI will be questioned.
The introduction of generative AI is expected to maximize productivity by effectively utilizing the internal knowledge and assets accumulated so far, creating an environment where people can work more efficiently.
Human Science, which has supported corporate knowledge management so far, has been considering solutions to the problem of "knowledge being documented but not utilized," which is often encountered in knowledge sharing initiatives. Currently, we believe that by utilizing generative AI, we can solve this problem even more effectively and efficiently.
That said, there are various concerns regarding the use of generative AI in business. For example, "AI producing false information (hallucination)" and "not knowing the basis of the output information" are among them. These are critical concerns when incorporating it into knowledge management.
Therefore, Human Science has focused on a technology called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). RAG is a system that searches for information from external knowledge bases such as internal regulations and company manuals, and generates responses using a large language model (see the figure below). It is said to be able to suppress hallucinations because it can access the latest and most reliable external information.
By using RAG, you can search for information in company regulations and internal manuals through communication tools like Slack. In other words, you can obtain the information you need from reliable sources via a familiar interface. RAG is an ideal method for advancing knowledge management effectively and efficiently.
In this second seminar, we will introduce our efforts in knowledge sharing using RAG. From the perspective of a manual professional skilled in organizing knowledge, ・Knowledge management using generative AI chatbots with RAG ・The quality of documents that promote knowledge management We will present these topics along with demonstrations.
If you are considering the introduction of generative AI within your company or are looking for ways to utilize it, please join us enthusiastically.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

———————————————————————————————————————
As we move past the period referred to as post-COVID, corporate activities are also advancing to the next step. In this context, many companies are struggling with labor shortages and the training of personnel to compensate for this. Manuals are very effective in resolving these issues and enhancing the performance of each employee, but organizing and establishing them can be quite challenging. For example, many may have experienced situations like the following.
・In the first place, there is not enough time, and the creation and updating of manuals are not progressing.
Although a manual was created, the content is difficult to understand and is not read.
・It takes time to find where the manuals are, and they have become obsolete.
- Tools have been introduced, but they are left unattended without being established on-site.
To avoid such situations, it is effective to improve the clarity of the manual itself and to utilize tools that allow for smooth creation, updating, and searching of manuals. In this seminar, we will introduce key points for creating manuals that are actually used, as well as successful case studies where manuals have been successfully established in the field through these efforts.
Managers who want to improve labor shortages through manual maintenance and tool implementation, as well as business improvement personnel whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of knowledge and manuals, are encouraged to participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.

Manual Pro Talks! Case Study Seminar on Utilizing AI for Knowledge Sharing and Productivity Improvement ~ 1st Edition: Efforts Toward Standardizing Document Creation Using AI~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
2024 is said to be the year when the results of utilizing generative AI will be questioned.
Recently, the awareness of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, has rapidly increased, and many companies have been advancing the technical verification and exploration of the potential uses of generative AI. Moving forward, we are entering a phase where it is necessary to go beyond the realm of 'trials' and fully implement generative AI into actual operations to create results.
The introduction of generative AI is expected to maximize productivity by effectively utilizing the internal knowledge and assets accumulated so far, creating an environment where people can work more efficiently.
On the other hand, many companies that have already begun to consider the use of generative AI seem to be facing significant challenges. Looking at the data below, it is clear that more than half of the companies that are considering or have already adopted generative AI are facing issues related to "human resources and know-how." In fact, there are likely many who are struggling with how to implement generative AI in their operations, saying things like "I don't know how to proceed" or "We don't have personnel with the necessary skills."
To utilize generative AI in business and achieve knowledge sharing and productivity improvement, insights into data preprocessing, workflow design, and prompt engineering for training the generative AI are necessary.
At Human Science, we have been working on workflow design to improve the utilization of generative AI and the quality of outputs from the perspective of "writing and utilization." Based on the insights gained from this effort, we will share key points on how to utilize generative AI in business to promote knowledge sharing and enhance productivity in a two-part seminar.
In this first seminar, we will introduce our efforts towards "Standardizing Document Creation Using Generative AI." We will share episodes of trial and error regarding the use of generative AI in document creation, and from the perspective of a manual professional who excels in organizing business processes, we will specifically introduce points and know-how such as: - How we improved the output quality of generative AI - How we designed the workflow
If you are considering the introduction of generative AI within your company or are looking for ways to utilize it, please join us enthusiastically.
The 2nd seminar is scheduled to be held in May 2024, with the theme of "Efforts for Knowledge Sharing Using Generative AI."
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

2024 Latest Version - Easy-to-Search Manual Utilizing AI Generation
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
"We created a product manual, but it is not being used at all" "The searchability of the digitized manual is poor" "Even though there is an internal manual, inquiries from employees have not decreased"
In this way, we often hear the voices of companies that are struggling with the issue of manuals being created but not utilized.
In fact, these challenges can be addressed with the power of AI. As generative AI emerges and its deployment in business and services progresses, how to utilize AI to "create" manuals and "utilize" them becomes a significant point.
This seminar is jointly hosted by Helpfeel, a company that provides a search SaaS for supporting the use of FAQs and manuals with AI, and Human Science, which assists in the creation and improvement of manuals centered around technical communication and IT. We will discuss how the emergence of generative AI will change manual creation in the future, and explain how to utilize manuals in the AI era to resolve the issue of "being created but not used." Additionally, we will also cover "Voice of Customer (VOC)" which analyzes customer feedback.

Knowledge Management in the AI Era - An Approach to Make Knowledge Easy to Understand and Easy to Find
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
When creating project proposals and specifications for new products, are you spending a lot of time searching for reference information from past materials? Also, have you ever looked at documents created by your subordinates and thought, "I wish they had referenced the materials from that past project..."?
In fact, while many companies have been able to share knowledge through manualization and database creation, it is evident that this knowledge is not being utilized.
According to a survey conducted by TOPWELL Corporation on Japanese manufacturing companies.
To overcome such situations, it is effective to use AI technology. This is because the knowledge held by companies is usually vast, and it requires a significant amount of effort for humans to search through it one by one.
In this seminar, we will introduce an approach to knowledge management in the AI era that combines the AI implementation knowledge utilization solution "Knowledge Explorer" developed by Zuken Prisite Co., Ltd. and the methods of Human Science Co., Ltd.
This is a practical content that introduces the distinctive features of "Knowledge Explorer," which enables effective utilization of knowledge, along with workshops that cultivate the ability to visualize the complexities of knowledge.
If you are committed to promoting knowledge management or feel challenges in utilizing knowledge within your department, please join us enthusiastically.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will accept consultations for any issues you may have. If you are interested, please select "Yes" for "Individual Consultation" on the application form. (First three groups only)

———————————————————————————————————————
The benefits of AI in online education are numerous, but particularly significant are the advantages that those responsible for the development and production of educational materials can gain. The online educational materials that have previously required considerable time and effort to produce can now be created with astonishing ease and high quality. However, to create effective online educational materials suitable for their intended use by leveraging technology, there are important key points that must be understood.
In this seminar, we will leverage our experience and achievements in online educational material production to provide specific explanations through case studies and demonstrations for those responsible for implementing and managing more effective digital learning. We will cover the production of online educational materials using our next-generation animation production tool "Vyond" and online educational material production tool "iSpring," as well as key points for distribution and management using the digital learning platform "e-CoreLea."

Back Office Co-hosted Conference ~ Overcoming COVID-19 and Legal Revisions: What We Should Do Now ~
We will be exhibiting.
At Human Science, we will hold the following seminars.
Example
In recent years, changes in work styles and legal reforms have demanded significant changes in back-office operations. Amidst this, many companies are considering various measures to improve the efficiency of back-office operations, including the introduction of systems and advancing digital transformation (DX).
However, simply implementing the system without sufficient preparation will not yield the expected results.
In the field, we often hear about confusion such as, "I understand the operation, but I don't know how the work procedures will change," and "the IT department is overwhelmed with inquiries," which can lead to delays in process improvement and stabilization.
To achieve the benefits of system implementation more quickly, it is important to inventory the current processes in advance, organize how the system will be integrated into the workflow, and how the business processes will change, as well as to prepare manuals and knowledge for employees to resolve issues on their own.
In this lecture, Human Science, which has supported the operations of many companies through manual creation, will focus on methods for organizing business processes and sharing knowledge, providing tips for improving back-office operations.
Recommended for people like this
・I don't know how to proceed with the preparations for system implementation. ・I started organizing the business processes, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. ・I implemented the system, but it hasn't been fully adopted, and I'm not getting sufficient results.

No more failures! Towards the operation of manuals that are 'used' - Explaining the 'preparations' that lead to the successful introduction of manual creation tools.
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
Manuals that support business efficiency and employee training only demonstrate their value when they are used. To escape the situation of "having created a manual but not using it," more companies are considering and implementing manual creation tools.
However, simply introducing tools does not automatically create manuals that will be "used" and lead to operational progress. The key to establishing manuals on-site and maximizing the benefits of implementation lies in the "preparation before implementation." It is important to identify the challenges hidden in the current manual operations, such as being "difficult to understand" and "hard to find," and to align with stakeholders involved in creating and using the manuals on what the ideal state should be.
In this seminar,
Methods for issue analysis and consensus building to be conducted before the introduction of manual creation tools
- Implementation and operation of effective manual creation tools
We will share know-how from tool implementation preparation to operational establishment.
Human Science Co., which supports everything from business organization to manual production, and Konica Minolta, which provides the tool "COCOMITE" to support manual creation and operation, will share insights and experiences accumulated without reservation. We look forward to your participation!
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.

Achieved with Add-in Tools! A Method to Balance Quality and Efficiency in PowerPoint Document Creation
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In your daily work, you likely have many opportunities to create meeting materials, proposals, and presentation documents using PowerPoint. Now, how much time do you spend on creating them?
According to a survey, the average time spent on document preparation is 2.4 hours per day. (Some responses indicated spending up to 7 hours!) This means that 2.4 hours accounts for 30% of the total working hours in a day.
On the other hand, despite taking time to create, we often hear quality-related issues such as "I don't understand what is being said" and "the format of the materials is inconsistent."
As shown in the graph below, with the increase in remote meetings, the time spent on document preparation has been steadily increasing. Therefore, addressing such challenges has become an urgent task.
In this seminar, we will introduce the PowerPoint add-in tool "MA Packet" that will assist in solving challenges.
MA Packet is a document creation support tool developed by MA-CREATE Inc. It allows you to easily access a wealth of templates and pictograms with a single click, and to unify colors and fonts in bulk. This tool not only promotes the efficiency of document creation but also helps in corporate branding and building consensus in online meetings. Another key point is that it can be used easily, just like the regular PowerPoint interface.
Here is the introduction video for MA Packet.
*A YouTube video will play with sound.
In addition, from the perspective of Human Science, which has cultivated the ability to organize and convey information that the other party does not know in an easy-to-understand manner through many years of manual production, we will introduce know-how to improve the efficiency and quality of document creation. We will also conduct workshops to develop the ability to create clear writing, so that it can be utilized for employee training within the company.
If you are feeling challenges with the efficiency and quality of creating meeting materials, presentation materials, and more, please join us enthusiastically.
Eligible Persons
・Those who feel that they do not understand what their subordinates are trying to say in the materials they created, but do not know how to provide guidance.
・If you want to standardize the format of fees, as it varies by creator
- Those who spend a lot of time on document creation in their department and want to improve efficiency

Realized with Next-Generation Web Manuals! ～Management update flow built with Modern Frontend × Documentation～
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "A new flow for centralizing the management and updates of manuals on the web."
In many IT companies, it seems that engineers often create and manage technical documents, including manuals, directly. Do you have any of the following concerns? ・Managing multiple manuals with different tools, making maintenance complicated ・There is no system for creating manuals that allows engineers to focus on their core tasks.
How about reconsidering the workflow from manual creation to operation to solve your problems? The workflow needs to be one that "covers the information users need and is easy to maintain." With this workflow, technical documents can be updated more easily, allowing technical information to reach a larger audience.
In this seminar, we will introduce: ①Improving workflows using modern front-end technologies ②Demonstration of the optimal platform
The technical configuration of this demonstration is as follows: ・Headless CMS: Storyblok ・Static Site Generator: Gatsby ・Web Server: Netlify
In the demonstration, we will show you the process of using Storyblok as a headless CMS and deploying it to Netlify. We will also introduce the ease of editing with Storyblok. Additionally, we will discuss the performance and security features of Jamstack, as well as the usability of headless CMS.
We encourage engineers involved in technical documentation and marketing personnel to actively participate.
Eligible Persons
- Those who have concerns about the workflow for creating and managing manuals
・Engineers developing web and smartphone applications
・Manager coordinating engineers

Achieved through Tools × Manual Improvement! ～Steps from Standardization to Establishment that Managers Should Know～
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
Recently, with the spread of telework and other flexible working styles, various ways of working have become possible. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, about 80% of companies that introduced telework to improve labor productivity reported that "productivity has increased." On the other hand, there are also companies that reported "productivity has decreased." The factors considered to contribute to this include "the culture of oral tradition" and "the personalization of tasks."
More and more companies are working to develop SOPs and manuals to smoothly share knowledge and break away from oral traditions and personalization, but it seems that it is not an easy task. We often hear the following voices from companies that have already started their efforts.
Despite having created the manual, it is not being utilized at all on-site.
・In the first place, there is not enough time, and the creation and updating of manuals are not progressing.
- Although manuals have been created, they are not being established, and the quality of work cannot be maintained consistently.
- A knowledge sharing tool was introduced, but it has been left unattended without being established on-site.
To solve these challenges, it is necessary to introduce tools that support ease of search for readers and ease of writing for authors, as well as to improve the clarity of manuals.

How to create and deliver high-quality online teaching materials easily and quickly? ~ Introducing the next-generation content creation tool and learning platform that has evolved so much! ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In recent years, technology for education and learning, known as learning technology, has undergone tremendous evolution. Technologies such as AI and XR/metaverse, which were previously unimaginable, are beginning to be utilized in the online education scene.
The evolution of "next-generation content creation tools" that allow for the production of rich and high-quality online educational content, such as "videos" and "animations," which previously required significant costs, time, and effort to create, as well as "learning platforms" for distributing and managing them, is remarkable.
On the other hand, new challenges and issues have emerged regarding how to implement these learning technologies and how to operate them more effectively.
In this seminar, we will introduce digital learning solutions that utilize our next-generation content creation tools "iSpring" and "Vyond," as well as the learning platform "e-CoreLea," to address their challenges and issues.
Please feel free to join us.

"Ease of discovery" and "clarity" are the keys to successful knowledge management! ~ Two approaches to connect data sharing to utilization ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "How to Achieve Effective Knowledge Management."
Recently, the term "knowledge management" has become quite common. Upon re-evaluating its definition, knowledge management refers to a management approach that involves sharing and utilizing the experiences and knowledge held by individuals throughout the organization to create new knowledge.
Promoting knowledge management, strengthening organizational capabilities, and streamlining human resource development are essential initiatives for efficient corporate management.
When creating project proposals and specifications for new products, are you spending a lot of time searching for reference information from past materials?
Have you ever looked at the materials created by your subordinates and thought, "I wish they had referenced the materials from that past project..."?
If you can quickly find past assets, you can spend time on creating the essential body. This is precisely the effect of knowledge management.
However, it seems that although a system for sharing knowledge has been established, there are many cases where it cannot be effectively utilized.
Please take a look at the graph below.
Although knowledge sharing is possible through manualization and database creation, it seems that it is not being utilized.
According to a survey conducted by TOPWELL Corporation on Japanese manufacturing companies.
"Even though it is searchable, why isn't it being utilized?" Those of you who are thinking this may be facing such a situation on-site.
・They do not even search because they are unaware that the information they desire exists as knowledge.
・There is too much knowledge, and I cannot find the necessary information even when I search.
・Even if you find knowledge, it is difficult to understand and cannot be used
To overcome this situation, it is necessary to create an environment where knowledge can be easily found and to improve the clarity of the knowledge itself.
In this seminar, we will introduce an approach to knowledge management that combines the knowledge utilization solution "Knowledge Explorer" developed by Zuken Prisite, which enables the creation of an environment where knowledge can be easily found, and the methods of Human Science Co., Ltd., which specializes in improving the clarity and promoting the utilization of internal knowledge represented by manuals.
This is a practical content that introduces the distinctive features of "Knowledge Explorer," which enables effective utilization of knowledge, along with workshops that cultivate the ability to visualize the complexities of knowledge. If you are on a mission to promote knowledge management or feel challenges in utilizing knowledge within your department, we encourage you to participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will accept consultations for any issues you may have. If you are interested, please select "Yes" for "Individual Consultation" on the application form. (First three groups only)
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Eligible Persons
- Those who feel that they are advancing knowledge management but not succeeding
・Those who want to learn how to utilize the knowledge that is dormant within the company across the entire organization
・Those who want to utilize internal knowledge but are struggling because a lot of resources are spent searching for necessary information.
・Those who are struggling because the knowledge that should have been organized is not being utilized
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ① Provision of seminar presentation materials (free) ② Online individual consultation regarding the improvement of knowledge clarity (free) ③ "Manual Simplified Diagnosis" service (free)

Creating a System for Utilizing Manuals with the Latest Tools ~ From the Introduction to the Operation of Manual Creation Tools ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In recent times, with the need for business efficiency, technical knowledge transfer, and personnel training, more companies are working on the documentation of their operations, including the introduction of manual creation tools. On the other hand, it is also true that there are many voices saying that "the manuals we worked hard to create are not being utilized" for reasons such as the following.
・Manuals are scattered across the server, making it difficult to find the information you are looking for. ・There are many manuals that are not even known to exist. ・The content of the manuals is outdated (not updated), so they are no longer used. ・Although a manual creation tool has been introduced, it is not being utilized.
It is not only the practical staff who are troubled by such a situation. When manuals do not become established and oral transmission becomes the norm, it becomes difficult for management to promote organizational business improvements, as the actual state of operations becomes unclear.
To maximize the benefits of implementing a manual creation tool, preparation before implementation is crucial. Simply transferring unused Word manuals to the tool will still result in them not being utilized. What issues exist in the current manual writing? Is there a lack of necessary information? Is the design accessible for information retrieval?
To address the challenges mentioned above, this seminar will introduce the know-how from "designing manuals that should be done before introducing manual creation tools" to "effective introduction and operation of manual creation tools" by Human Science, which supports everything from business organization to manual production, and Konica Minolta, which provides the manual creation tool COCOMITE, strong in operational aspects.
If you are committed to promoting the standardization and manualization of operations, or if you feel challenges in utilizing manuals within your department, please join us enthusiastically.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

Achieve with Plugin Tools! How to Balance Quality and Efficiency in PowerPoint Document Creation
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In your daily work, you likely have many opportunities to create meeting materials, proposals, and presentation documents using PowerPoint. Now, how much time do you spend on creating them?
According to a survey, the average time spent on document preparation is 2.4 hours per day. (Some responses indicated spending up to 7 hours!) This means that 2.4 hours accounts for 30% of the total working hours in a day.
On the other hand, despite taking time to create, we often hear quality-related issues such as "I don't understand what is being said" and "the format of the materials is inconsistent."
As shown in the graph below, with the increase in remote meetings, the time spent on document preparation has been steadily increasing. Therefore, addressing such challenges has become an urgent task.
To improve the efficiency and quality of document creation, • it is necessary to organize information before creating documents. • express the organized information in clear writing and a unified design.
Human Science has developed the ability to organize and convey information that the other party does not know in an easy-to-understand manner through many years of producing manuals.
In this seminar, we will introduce know-how to improve the efficiency and quality of document creation from our unique perspective. Additionally, we will conduct workshops to develop the skills to create clear and understandable documents, which can also be utilized for in-house employee training.
Additionally, we will introduce the document creation support tool "MA-Packet" developed by MA-CREATE and its usage methods. By using "MA-Packet", you can call up a wealth of templates and pictograms with a single click, and unify colors and fonts in bulk. It is a tool that not only promotes the efficiency of document creation but also helps improve corporate branding and document quality.
If you are feeling challenges with the efficiency and quality of creating meeting materials, presentation materials, and more, please join us enthusiastically.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.
(First 3 groups)
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Eligible Persons
・Those who feel that they do not understand what their subordinates are trying to say in the materials they created, but do not know how to provide guidance.
- Those who want to standardize the format of documents as it varies by the creator
- Those who spend a lot of time on document creation in their department and want to improve efficiency
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ① Provision of seminar presentation materials (free) ② If you purchase the MA-Packet after attending the seminar, we will provide free registration of the standard template ③ Online individual consultation regarding document creation know-how and the use of plugin tools (free)

How to Promote DX Leading to Overall Optimization ~ What Business Organization and Latest Tools Are Necessary for Promoting DX? ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time's theme is "The First Step in Promoting DX".
Since the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "2025 Cliff" report, the necessity for DX has rapidly increased. Is your company or department making progress in its efforts towards DX?
In this seminar, we will share important preparatory steps to enhance the effectiveness of DX promotion for those who are thinking, "We are advancing DX within the company, but it's not going well..." "I want to seriously start promoting DX, but is it still not too late...?" Additionally, we will introduce the consultant's direct method of "business organization" and the increasingly popular DX tool, "RPA."
Rather than achieving DX in one leap, it is important to first visualize the current operations through "business organization" and to promote "digitalization" by advancing automation of operations through RPA implementation.
The "Auto Job Master" introduced in the seminar is a purely domestic RPA tool developed by Yuzak System Co., Ltd., which has been involved in the automation of core system operations for 18 years. It emphasizes "operational stability" to ensure it can be used confidently even in tasks where mistakes are not allowed, supporting the success of various business reforms across industries.
The seminar will introduce successful case studies of RPA implementation, and will also hold a workshop for business organization. This is a must-see for those considering RPA implementation. We look forward to your participation.
After the seminar, we will be available for consultations regarding any issues you may have. If you wish to have a consultation, please select "Yes" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form and provide the details of your inquiry in the "Consultation Details" field. (First three groups only)
Eligible Persons
・I want to work on DX, but I don't know where to start
・We are working on DX, but it is not going well
・I want to introduce the latest tools for digital transformation, but I don't know which tools are good.
・Interested in RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ①Individual consultation on business standardization and organization (Human Science) ②Individual consultation on RPA implementation, including 'Auto Job Master' (Yusak System)

Why are manuals not used on-site? ～Steps from standardization to implementation that managers should know～
will be held.
*This seminar covers the same content as the webinars held on April 13, 2021 (Tuesday), July 27, 2021 (Tuesday), November 25, 2021 (Thursday), July 26, 2022 (Tuesday), and January 31, 2023 (Tuesday).
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is how to standardize operations and how to establish that in the field.
With new working styles such as staggered commuting and telework becoming established, many may be considering how to approach future work styles. Additionally, in an environment where changes to work styles must be made without adequate preparation, the situation of work becoming personalized has come to light, leading to concerns such as, "Could this become a risk for the entire company?" and "Some form of countermeasure is necessary," which are frequently heard. Against this backdrop, an increasing number of companies are considering the development of SOPs/manuals and the introduction of knowledge-sharing tools to facilitate smooth sharing of internal know-how.
On the other hand, we often hear voices like the following from companies that have already started their initiatives.
・The personalization of work is significant, and the standardization (manualization) of work is not progressing well.
Despite having created the manual, it is not being utilized at all on-site.
- Although a manual was created once, it has not been updated since.
- Although manuals were created, they are not being established, and the quality of work cannot be maintained consistently.
- A knowledge sharing tool was introduced, but it has been left unattended without being established on-site.
In this seminar, we will introduce the factors that lead to the results mentioned above, as well as specific know-how to successfully establish and operate manuals.
This content includes participatory workshops on manual analysis and practical examples and demonstrations of knowledge sharing tools.
Managers who feel that the personalization of work is a risk, as well as those in charge of business improvement whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of internal knowledge and manuals, are encouraged to participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.
(First three groups)
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Eligible Persons

Achieved with the latest tools! Creating a system for manual operations aimed at organizational improvement
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In recent years, there has been an increase in companies working on the manualization of their operations for purposes such as improving operational efficiency, knowledge transfer, and employee training. In your company as well, you may ask the person who knows the relevant operations best to create a manual, or instruct new employees to create manuals as part of their learning process.
However, it is also true that there are many voices saying that "the manuals we worked hard to create are not being utilized" for the following reasons.
・The manuals are scattered across the server, making it difficult to find the information you are looking for.
・There are many manuals that are not even known to exist.
・No longer used due to outdated content that has not been updated
It is not only the practical staff who are troubled by falling into such a situation. When oral transmission becomes the norm, it becomes difficult to understand the actual state of operations, making it challenging for management to promote organizational business improvements.
To maintain the effective use of manuals and to achieve continuous business improvement, it is important to focus on the following two points.
・Creating a common understanding that "the manual is here"
・Establishing a system to maintain the reliability of the manual content
In this seminar, we will share effective approaches to the two points mentioned above, based on the experience of Human Science in improving manuals for various companies.
Furthermore, we would like to introduce COCOMITE from Konica Minolta as a tool to realize these points. Not only does it have manual creation capabilities, but it is also a tool strong in operational aspects that systematically realizes and maintains a structure for utilizing manuals through folder hierarchy, access rights, and approval flow settings. We will also share examples of how to not just create manuals but to actively utilize them.
If you are committed to promoting the standardization and manualization of operations, or if you feel challenges in utilizing manuals within your department, please join us enthusiastically.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.

Why are manuals not used on-site? ～Steps from standardization to implementation that managers should know～
will be held.
This seminar covers the same content as the webinars held on April 13, 2021 (Tuesday), July 27, 2021 (Tuesday), November 25, 2021 (Thursday), and July 26, 2022 (Tuesday).
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is how to standardize operations and how to establish that in the field.
With new working styles such as staggered commuting and telework becoming established, many may be considering how to approach future work styles. Additionally, in an environment where changes to work styles must be made without adequate preparation, the situation of work becoming personalized has come to light, leading to concerns such as, "Could this become a risk for the entire company?" and "Some form of countermeasure is necessary," which are frequently heard. Against this backdrop, an increasing number of companies are considering the development of SOPs/manuals and the introduction of knowledge-sharing tools to facilitate smooth sharing of internal know-how.
On the other hand, we often hear voices like the following from companies that have already started their initiatives.
・The personalization of work is significant, and the standardization (manualization) of work is not progressing well.
Despite having created the manual, it is not being utilized at all on-site.
- Although a manual was created once, it has not been updated since.
- Although manuals were created, they are not being established, and the quality of work cannot be maintained consistently.
- A knowledge sharing tool was introduced, but it has been left unattended without being established on-site.
In this seminar, we will introduce the factors that lead to the results mentioned above, as well as specific know-how to successfully establish and operate manuals.
This content includes participatory workshops on manual analysis and practical examples and demonstrations of knowledge sharing tools.
Managers who feel that the personalization of work is a risk, as well as those in charge of business improvement whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of internal knowledge and manuals, are encouraged to participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

Clear technical documentation is the key to successful web services! If you want to create high quality and cost-effective solutions, choose Jamstack! ~ Learning from overseas examples, approaches to solving technical documentation challenges ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Approaches to Improving Technical Documents Published on the Web."
For example, let's consider an API reference. One of the important points in promoting in-house services such as SaaS is how smoothly users (customers and developers) can understand and utilize that API.
The issue here is that simply publishing technical documents written by engineers is not sufficient. They need to be comprehensive in covering the information users need and also user-friendly. Otherwise, even if the technical documents are published, they may not be utilized effectively, leading to the unfortunate result of the service not gaining traction.
How is your company's technical documentation? Is it appealing to users?
In this seminar, we will explain about technical documents, including ① how to make them easier to understand, and ② what platforms are good for management, along with overseas examples and demonstrations.
The technical configuration of this demonstration is as follows: ・Headless CMS: Storyblok ・Static Site Generator: Gatsby ・Web Server: Netlify
In the demonstration, we will show you the process of using Storyblok as a headless CMS and deploying it to Netlify. We will also introduce the ease of editing with Storyblok. Additionally, we will discuss the performance and security features of Jamstack, as well as the usability of headless CMS.
We encourage engineers involved in technical documentation and marketing personnel to participate. * Participation is free of charge.
Eligible Persons

Why does knowledge management fail? ~Two steps to connect sharing to utilization~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "How to Achieve Effective Knowledge Management."
Recently, the term "knowledge management" has become quite common. Upon re-evaluating its definition, knowledge management refers to a management approach that involves sharing and utilizing the experiences and knowledge held by individuals throughout the organization to create new knowledge.
Promoting knowledge management, strengthening organizational capabilities, and streamlining human resource development are essential initiatives for efficient corporate management.
When creating project proposals and specifications for new products, are you spending a lot of time searching for reference information from past materials?
Have you ever looked at the materials created by your subordinates and thought, "I wish they had referenced the materials from that past project..."?
If you can quickly find past assets, you can spend time on creating the essential body. This is precisely the effect of knowledge management.
However, it seems that although a system for sharing knowledge has been established, there are many cases where it cannot be effectively utilized.
Please take a look at the graph below.
Although knowledge sharing is possible through manualization and database creation, it seems that it is not being utilized.
According to a survey conducted by TOPWELL Corporation on Japanese manufacturing companies.
"Even though it is searchable, why isn't it being utilized?" Those of you who are thinking this may be facing such a situation on-site.
・They do not even search because they are unaware that the information they desire exists as knowledge.
・There is too much knowledge, and I cannot find the necessary information even when I search.
・Even if you find knowledge, it is difficult to understand and cannot be used
To overcome this situation, it is necessary to create an environment where knowledge can be easily found and to improve the clarity of the knowledge itself.
In this seminar, we will introduce an approach to knowledge management that combines the knowledge utilization solution "Knowledge Explorer" developed by Zuken Prisite, which enables the creation of an environment where knowledge can be easily found, and the methods of Human Science Co., Ltd., which specializes in improving the clarity and promoting the utilization of internal knowledge represented by manuals.
This is a practical content that introduces the distinctive features of "Knowledge Explorer," which enables effective utilization of knowledge, along with workshops that cultivate the ability to visualize the complexities of knowledge. If you are on a mission to promote knowledge management or feel challenges in utilizing knowledge within your department, we encourage you to participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will accept consultations for any issues you may have. If you are interested, please select "Yes" for "Individual Consultation" on the application form. (First three groups only)
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Eligible Persons
- Those who feel that they are advancing knowledge management but not succeeding
・Those who want to learn how to utilize the knowledge that is dormant within the company across the entire organization
・Those who want to utilize internal knowledge but are struggling because a lot of resources are spent searching for necessary information.
・Those who are struggling because the knowledge that should have been organized is not being utilized
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.

Business Reform Achieved Through RPA Implementation - Introducing How to Promote Business Efficiency for Successful RPA
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Business Reform Utilizing RPA."
Recently, starting with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "2025 Cliff" report, there has been a growing momentum for improving business efficiency and productivity through DX promotion, and the market has become flooded with tools and means for this purpose.
In such situations, many of you may have thought at least once, "I wish a robot could do this job for me" or "I want to automate the same tasks every day to improve efficiency."
In response to such needs, there is "RPA" that automates operations. Because it can be operated without special skills like programming, many companies have adopted it.
On the other hand, as noted in the report by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, many companies are currently in a situation where "some investment is made for promoting DX, but it does not lead to actual business transformation." Unfortunately, a similar trend can be observed even after the introduction of RPA.
To successfully implement business reform through RPA introduction, it is important to first clearly understand its objectives and key points.
Purpose and Points of RPA Implementation
・Automate routine tasks and shift efforts towards more productive work
・Not just limited efforts by individuals or teams, but to enhance the productivity of the entire department.
With the above objectives and points in mind, the initial "business organization" is essential for systematically advancing the introduction of RPA.
Business organization here refers to the overview of the entire department's operations, categorizing what constitutes routine and non-routine tasks. Based on that, let's make decisions on which routine tasks to automate, involving the relevant stakeholders.
In this seminar, we will introduce a solution for "business optimization" that combines the domestic RPA tool 'Auto Job Meister' with business organization techniques.
"Auto Job Master" is a purely domestic RPA tool developed by Yuzak System Co., Ltd., which has been involved in the automation of core system operations for 18 years. It emphasizes "operational stability" to ensure it can be used confidently even in tasks where mistakes are not allowed, supporting the success of various business reforms across different industries.
In addition, we will introduce successful case studies of RPA implementation and hold workshops for business organization. A must-see for those considering RPA implementation. We look forward to your participation.
After the seminar, we will be available for consultations regarding any issues you may have. If you wish to participate, please select "Yes" for "Individual Consultation" on the application form and fill in the details of your consultation in the "Consultation Details" section. (First three groups only)
Eligible Persons
・I want to implement RPA, but I don't know where to start.
・We would like to consider the introduction of RPA aimed at improving the overall operational efficiency of the department.
・I want to shift from routine tasks to more productive work
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ①Individual consultation on business standardization and organization (Human Science) ②Individual consultation on RPA implementation, including 'Auto Job Master' (Yusak System)

Achieve efficiency in internal inquiry responses! ~ Solve the difficulty and confusion of finding know-how with "AI Chatbot" × "TC Method"!! ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Streamlining Internal Inquiry Responses."
With the establishment of new working styles in remote work, more companies are actively incorporating DX into their internal operations. Recently, there has been particular attention on the efficiency of internal inquiry responses through information-sharing tools such as chatbots.
When it comes to chatbots, they were previously mainly used for BtoC services, primarily for handling inquiries from outside the company. However, with the advancement of remote work and the inability to ask questions about business uncertainties immediately, inquiries to internal help desks and back offices (such as HR and administration) have increased... Against this backdrop, the demand for using chatbots to handle inquiries from within the company is rising across various industries.
While working, how much time do you spend on "information retrieval"? According to a survey, many business professionals spend about 30% of their working hours on information retrieval. In fact, we have received inquiries from our clients stating, "More than half of my day is spent responding to inquiries, so I would like to implement tools to reduce the burden."
However, we have heard the following feedback from customers who have already implemented information-sharing tools such as chatbots.
・Even after searching, the desired information does not come up, and I cannot find the necessary information. ・Even if I finally manage to find it, I often do not understand what is written. ・Since asking directly leads to a quicker resolution, I end up asking verbally anyway. ・Information is left without updates, improvements, or maintenance.
In fact, simply introducing tools will not streamline internal inquiry responses. It is essential to select tools suitable for your company's operations and to inventory and organize the know-how to respond to inquiries.
In this seminar, we will introduce the following two methods. 1. How to choose an interface for the quickest access to the desired information (systematization of know-how and utilization of AI chatbots) 2. How to organize know-how that everyone can understand in the same way (systematization and documentation methods based on technical communication methods)
Furthermore, to help you visualize these concepts more concretely, we will introduce examples of call centers that serve as hints for improving back-office operational efficiency, as well as conduct demonstrations of AI chatbots and FAQ systems.
Let's promote internal knowledge sharing and take the first step towards improving inquiry efficiency!
Furthermore, to help you visualize these concepts more concretely, we will present a demonstration of our FAQ system equipped with an AI search engine.
In addition, we will accept consultations regarding any issues after the seminar. If you wish, please select "Yes" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form. (First three groups only)
Eligible Persons
・Those who handle internal inquiries in the back office (HR and administration) ・Those in charge of the internal help desk ・Those who are struggling because a lot of resources are being allocated to respond to internal inquiries ・Those who are having trouble because the tools and know-how that were supposed to be established are not being utilized ・Those who want to standardize operations and improve productivity ・Those who want to learn how to share individual knowledge and know-how across the entire organization
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ① Online individual consultation regarding AI chatbots and FAQ systems (free) ② Online individual consultation regarding know-how development (free) ③ Collection of case studies on the implementation of AI chatbots and FAQ systems (Kao, au Commerce & Life, Kirii Manufacturing) (free) ④ "Business Manual Simple Diagnosis" service (free)

Why are manuals not used on-site? ～Key points for manual adoption and operation that business improvement personnel should know～
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "How to establish business manuals in the field."
With the establishment of new working styles such as staggered commuting and telework, many people may be considering how to approach future work. In this context, an increasing number of companies are considering the development of SOPs/manuals and the introduction of knowledge-sharing tools to facilitate smooth sharing of internal know-how.
On the other hand, we often hear voices like the following from companies that have already started their initiatives.
Despite having created the manual, it is not being utilized at all on-site.
- Although a manual was created once, it has not been updated since.
- A knowledge sharing tool was introduced, but it has been left unattended without being established on-site.
In this seminar, we will introduce the factors that lead to the results mentioned above, as well as specific know-how to successfully establish and operate manuals.
This content includes participatory workshops on manual analysis and practical examples and demonstrations of knowledge sharing tools.
We invite all business improvement personnel whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of internal knowledge and manuals to actively participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.

will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Approaches to Improving Technical Documents Published on the Web."
For example, let's consider an API reference. One of the important points in promoting in-house services such as SaaS is how smoothly users (customers and developers) can understand and utilize that API.
The issue here is that simply publishing technical documents written by engineers is not sufficient. They need to be comprehensive in covering the information users need and also user-friendly. Otherwise, even if the technical documents are published, they may not be utilized effectively, leading to the unfortunate result of the service not gaining traction.
How is your company's technical documentation? Is it appealing to users?
In this seminar, we will explain about technical documents, including ① how to make them easier to understand, and ② what platforms are good for management, along with overseas examples and demonstrations.
The technical configuration of this demonstration is as follows: ・Headless CMS: Storyblok ・Static Site Generator: Gatsby ・Web Server: Netlify
In the demonstration, we will show you the process of using Storyblok as a headless CMS and deploying it to Netlify. We will also introduce the ease of editing with Storyblok. Additionally, we will discuss the performance and security features of Jamstack, as well as the usability of headless CMS.
We encourage engineers involved in technical documentation and marketing personnel to participate. *This event is exclusively for on-site viewers with no archived distribution. *Participation is free of charge.

Why does RPA work become a black box? Is "visualization of operations" necessary for effective RPA operation?! ~ Learning the tips for business automation with business organization & UiPath (RPA) ~
will be held.
*This seminar will cover the same content as the seminar held on June 25.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Business Efficiency."
Currently, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasing number of companies actively working on improving operational efficiency and productivity.
Given this background, many companies are likely considering automating their operations through the introduction of RPA.
On the other hand, even with the introduction of RPA, there are companies that face issues like the ones below and find themselves troubled.
・RPA has been introduced in some operations, but manual work continues in other operations, and working hours have not decreased.
The tasks automated by RPA have become a black box, making it impossible to review the entire operation.
・Introduced RPA, but unable to utilize it, and ultimately not using it
This seminar aims to answer these questions.
In this seminar, we will explain the methods for organizing business processes that are essential before introducing tools for productivity improvement, as well as the automation of routine tasks using RPA.
This is a practical content where you can learn a series of know-how from "Business Organization to Automation through RPA," including participatory workshops for business organization and demonstrations of RPA.
We welcome not only those who have already implemented RPA but also those who are considering future implementation to actively participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

[Skill Transfer in Manufacturing] Sharing knowledge and know-how is the first step to improving on-site capabilities! Solving the "difficulty in finding" and "difficulty in understanding" documents with "AI search engine" × "TC method"
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Methods to Promote the Sharing of Knowledge and Know-How, and Improve On-Site Capabilities."
In the manufacturing industry, we face daily challenges and repeatedly strive to find solutions through trial and error.
The success and failure examples that arise from that process are all valuable know-how.
Are you able to share that know-how in an appropriate manner?
As you know, sharing knowledge and know-how directly contributes to the improvement of the "on-site capabilities" that serve as the foundation for passing on individual skills and for the growth of companies and departments.
As a result, many companies are implementing systems and tools to digitize and share knowledge and know-how.
However, we often hear from employees and field personnel who actually use the systems and tools that they find it hard to understand even after reading, and that they cannot find the information they need.
It is important to approach the sharing of know-how in the appropriate form from the following two aspects.
1. Organization of Know-How Itself
②Improving the Ease of Finding Know-How
In this seminar, we will introduce the following two methods.
①A method to ensure that everyone has the same understanding (Systematization of know-how based on technical communication methods and documentation methods)
②Methods for accessing desired information in the shortest time (FAQ format for know-how and utilization of AI search engines)
Furthermore, to help you visualize these concepts more concretely, we will present a demonstration of our FAQ system equipped with an AI search engine.
Let's promote the sharing of in-house know-how and take the first step towards improving on-site capabilities!
Additionally, we will be available for consultations regarding any issues after the seminar.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.
(First three groups)
Eligible Persons
This is for those in the manufacturing industry who meet the following criteria. ・Those responsible for knowledge management ・Those who want to learn how to share individual knowledge and know-how across the organization ・Those who are struggling because the established know-how is not being utilized ・Those who are troubled by the allocation of many resources to respond to inquiries from both inside and outside the company
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.

Essential for the Pharmaceutical Industry: Document Management Techniques to Promote Compliance with Rules and Processes ～Recommendations for "Digitization and Electromagnetization" × "Systematic Organization and Manual Improvement"～
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Document management methods to promote compliance with rules and processes."
In the pharmaceutical industry, it is essential to proceed with operations while adhering to various rules, including regulatory requirements, and following predetermined processes.
As one of the means to achieve this, many companies are working on the digitization and electrification of documents and records. However, we hear voices saying, "While we understand the necessity, we do not know how to proceed with the efforts for digitization and electrification."
On the other hand, simply digitizing and electromagnetizing is not enough to adhere to rules and processes. Procedure documents and manuals are also necessary.
In fact, many companies create procedures and manuals, but we hear voices such as, "Even though we put in the effort to create them, they are not being used" and "There are too many, and I don't know what to read."
Therefore, it is believed that the above two approaches are necessary to promote compliance with rules and processes.
In this seminar, we will introduce, as the first point, methods and specific examples of digitization and electrification, and as the second point, the factors that lead to the underutilization of procedures and manuals, along with specific know-how to avoid this and effectively utilize procedures and manuals.
Additionally, to deepen your understanding, we will also introduce the document management tool "Agatha" and conduct workshops to analyze the complexity of procedures and manuals.
In this seminar, we will introduce a new approach that promotes compliance with rules and processes through the combination of "digitization and electromagneticization" and "systematic organization and manual improvement," which is a must-see for those in the pharmaceutical industry.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will accept consultations for any issues you may have. If you wish to do so, please select "Yes" for "Individual Consultation" on the application form.
(First 3 groups)
Eligible Persons
This is for those who belong to the pharmaceutical industry and meet the following criteria.
- Person in charge of document management
・Those who are promoting document digitization and electrification
・Those who feel they are not effectively utilizing procedures and manuals
- Those who want to know tips for writing procedures and manuals clearly
Participation from competing companies and individuals may be declined.
Participation Benefits
Participants in the seminar will receive the following benefits: ① Online individual consultation regarding the preparation of procedures and manuals (free) ② Online individual consultation regarding the digitization and electromagnetic conversion of documents (free) ③ "Simple Diagnosis of Procedures and Manuals" service (free)

Why are manuals not used on-site? ～Key points for manual adoption and operation that business improvement personnel should know～
will be held.
*This seminar covers the same content as the web seminar held on April 13, 2021 (Tuesday).
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "How to establish business manuals in the field."
Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, more companies are switching to new working styles such as staggered commuting and telework. In this context, many companies may be considering the development of SOPs/manuals and the introduction of knowledge-sharing tools to facilitate smooth sharing of internal know-how.
On the other hand, we often hear voices like the following from companies that have already started their initiatives.
Despite having created the manual, it is not being utilized at all on-site.
- Although a manual was created once, it has not been updated since.
- A knowledge sharing tool was introduced, but it has been left unattended without being established on-site.
In this seminar, we will introduce the factors that lead to the results mentioned above, as well as specific know-how to successfully establish and operate manuals.
This content includes participatory workshops on manual analysis and practical examples and demonstrations of knowledge sharing tools.
We invite all business improvement personnel whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of internal knowledge and manuals to actively participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.

High Speed! High Security! High Accessibility! A New Option for Website Development [Jamstack] - A Modern Architecture that Maximizes SEO
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time's theme is "Website Improvement."
We would like to introduce the method called 'Jamstack'.
Jamstack is a new approach to web development.
As can be seen from the radar chart and benefits below, it is gaining attention now because it outperforms traditional methods (such as LAMP Stack) in terms of performance and security, while also incurring no operational costs.
●Advantages of Jamstack
●Benefits of Websites Built with Jamstack
・Dramatically reduce page load time
・Instantly search within the content
- Able to withstand concentrated access
Freedom to choose any CMS
- Able to efficiently update content
・Increase in SEO rankings
Jamstack, which is likely to become the mainstream method for building websites in the future. Currently, the usage among Japanese companies is limited to a few hundred cases, but many companies overseas are already utilizing Jamstack. There is no doubt that it will become a strong candidate for website building methods in Japan as well.
As evidence of this, the use of Jamstack is rapidly expanding among some engineers who are sensitive to modern technology stacks. Additionally, some startup companies are beginning to realize that their corporate websites need the latest technology stack in anticipation of increased site traffic as their businesses grow.
In this seminar, we will introduce the mechanism of Jamstack, actual case studies of corporate sites built with Jamstack, and a document management system using the Jamstack technology stack, all demonstrated live. If you are interested in the latest trends in web development, we encourage you to participate.
For more information about Jamstack, please refer to this link.

Why does RPA work become a black box? Is "visualization of operations" necessary for effective RPA operation?! ~ Learning the tips for business automation with business organization & UiPath (RPA) ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "Business Efficiency."
Currently, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasing number of companies actively working on improving operational efficiency and productivity.
Given this background, many companies are likely considering automating their operations through the introduction of RPA.
On the other hand, even with the introduction of RPA, there are companies that face issues like the ones below and find themselves troubled.
・RPA has been introduced in some operations, but manual work continues in other operations, and working hours have not decreased.
The tasks automated by RPA have become a black box, making it impossible to review the entire operation.
・Introduced RPA, but unable to utilize it, and ultimately not using it
This seminar aims to answer these questions.
In this seminar, we will explain the methods for organizing business processes that are essential before introducing tools for productivity improvement, as well as the automation of routine tasks using RPA.
This is a practical content where you can learn a series of know-how from "Business Organization to Automation through RPA," including participatory workshops for business organization and demonstrations of RPA.
We welcome not only those who have already implemented RPA but also those who are considering future implementation to actively participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

[e-Learning Webinar] Basic Techniques for Translating Articulate Storyline - Medical Field Edition - (5/26)
will be held.
In response to COVID-19 and work style reforms, many companies in the medical and pharmaceutical industries are reviewing their educational implementation plans using e-learning and other methods.
Especially in foreign-affiliated companies, there are many cases where translation work for e-learning content produced globally is being carried out. However, isn't your company also faced with the need to create/translate numerous e-learning contents, regardless of internal training or user education?
We held a webinar in January this year utilizing Articulate's Storyline, the most widely used e-learning content creation tool overseas, and many people participated.
Due to time constraints, we were unable to introduce the translation workflow, file handling, and the many questions regarding translation know-how. This time, we will hold a seminar focused on the translation of Storyline content.
Whether you are already progressing with content translation or just starting, understanding what processes are necessary and what challenges may be hidden is essential for setting publication dates, predicting operations, and securing your budget.
This content can be referenced by companies in other fields such as IT and manufacturing, regardless of the medical field. Please feel free to apply.
This seminar is sponsored by D-Che Co., Ltd., the Japanese distributor of Articulate products (Storyline/Rise/Studio, etc.), and will be held online by Human Science Co., Ltd., which handles translation and e-learning for numerous clients in the medical field.

The forefront of utilizing internal knowledge! Creating a knowledge management system using AI search engines in 3 steps
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "How to Achieve Knowledge Management with a Small Start".
In recent years, various companies have been working to improve the efficiency of their inquiry responses by utilizing AI chatbots and other technologies. Additionally, they have begun to engage in "knowledge management" to compile internal knowledge, making it easy for anyone to search for information.
Are you aware of the costs associated with "information retrieval"? It is said that many business professionals spend about 30% of their working hours searching for information. If the efficiency of the search is poor, not only does the time available for work decrease, but it also hinders the effective utilization of the organization's valuable asset, "knowledge," and the improvement of productivity.
The key points to achieve knowledge management are the following two points.
- Provide an environment where anyone can easily search for knowledge
・Consolidate the knowledge scattered within the company
To achieve this, this seminar will introduce the "Knowledge Management System Development" that combines the AI search engine services of Saiseed Inc. and the knowledge organization solutions of Human Science Inc.
To successfully implement knowledge management, the three steps of "formalizing knowledge → utilizing AI search engines → designing operational flows" are essential.
In this seminar, we will explain the following content according to this step.
Know-how for formalizing the knowledge that is dormant within the company
②Utilizing AI search engines to provide an easy way for everyone to access knowledge
3. Tips for Continuously Updating Knowledge
To help you experience greater effectiveness, this includes workshops on manual analysis and examples and demonstrations of AI search engine utilization.
By understanding and practicing these, you can take the first step in promoting knowledge management!
・I want to learn how to share individual knowledge and know-how across the entire organization
・I thought about tackling knowledge management, but I gave up because I didn't know how to do it.
・Struggling with the allocation of many resources to handle inquiries from both inside and outside the company.
If you are a person in charge of DX promotion or business improvement with such concerns and missions, please join us.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

Why are manuals not used on-site? ～Key points for manual adoption and operation that business improvement personnel should know～
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
This time, the theme is "How to establish business manuals in the field."
Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, more companies are switching to new working styles such as staggered commuting and telework. In this context, many companies may be considering the development of SOPs/manuals and the introduction of knowledge-sharing tools to facilitate smooth sharing of internal know-how.
On the other hand, we often hear voices like the following from companies that have already started their initiatives.
Despite having created the manual, it is not being utilized at all on-site.
- Although a manual was created once, it has not been updated since.
- A knowledge sharing tool was introduced, but it has been left unattended without being established on-site.
In this seminar, we will introduce the factors that lead to the results mentioned above, as well as specific know-how to successfully establish and operate manuals.
This content includes participatory workshops on manual analysis and practical examples and demonstrations of knowledge sharing tools.
We invite all business improvement personnel whose mission is to promote the organization and sharing of internal knowledge and manuals to actively participate.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.

[Web Seminar] Would you like to review your translation workflow? ~Utilizing Machine Translation and Post-Editing~
will be held.
Although the number of target markets for overseas expansion is increasing, the translation process remains the same, and there is no increase in the number of personnel.
Do you ever feel limited by the current translation coordination?
More companies are adopting translation processes that utilize AI translation (machine translation) to maximize cost-effectiveness with limited resources.
However, in order to master it, it is necessary to visualize traditional translation tasks and consider ways to improve cost-effectiveness.
I have doubts about personalized translation services.
"I want to increase the languages, but handling translation companies and individual translators is a burden"
We have been handling this in-house, but we are feeling the limits.
"The traditional methods have their limits. I want to increase productivity."
For those facing such challenges, we will share case studies from the perspective of "AI translation (machine translation)."
We will share points to consider when introducing machine translation and its cost-effectiveness, as well as the necessary corrections (post-editing) after machine translation, along with the verification results that achieved a 7% reduction in workload through the use of tools.
This seminar is recommended for people like this
- Expansion overseas is progressing, increasing the number of shipping countries and translation languages
・Want to standardize and streamline personalized translation tasks
・Want to improve productivity per person
・We want to reduce costs and shorten lead times in translation BPO services.
・I want to streamline the management of translators and translation companies
Issues We Can Solve
・Able to accommodate an increase in the number of translation languages
・Standardization and efficiency of translation services (establishing quality standards, reviewing and redesigning workflows) can be achieved
・Break away from personalized translation tasks, resulting in cost reduction and shorter lead times.
Seminar Curriculum
1. The Current State of Machine Translation and Cost-Effectiveness
2. Post-editing for Improved Cost-effectiveness
Examples of Machine Translation Errors and Their Solutions
・Reduction of man-hours using tools (Post-editing automation tools, Japanese-English/multilingual verification results, translation project management tools)
3. <Case Study> In the Case of Manufacturing Industry Manuals
- Reduction in delivery time and cost savings after the introduction of machine translation

What is Jamstack? ~ A New Corporate/Document Site for the COVID Era ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
The corporate website and documentation site, which serve as the user's first contact, can be considered the face of the company. However, in many service-providing companies, resources are allocated to the development of the service itself, resulting in the corporate site not being updated for a long time. This trend is particularly strong in emerging SaaS companies, where there is often no person responsible for considering the management and operation of the corporate/documentation site, or the scope of responsibility is unclear, leading to many cases where the site is left as it was at the time of service launch.
As a result, it seems that there are many cases where users experience difficulties, such as the user interface not being optimized for smartphones and slow page load times, which leads to not utilizing the service. For example, Amazon has estimated that a 1-second delay in site load time results in a decrease of approximately 170 billion yen in annual sales. This indicates that site optimization is a challenge that cannot be overlooked.
Additionally, as an operator, there have been many cases where production was outsourced without clear technical selection, or existing CMSs like WordPress were implemented as proposed. In practice, this has led to challenges such as difficulties in updating content and continuing operations while facing security issues.
In this seminar, we will introduce Jamstack, a new web development framework, along with case studies of actual corporate sites and a document management system developed by our company using Jamstack. Since Jamstack is expected to become a standard technology in the future, we encourage you to participate.
Benefits of Websites Built with Jamstack
・Dramatically reduce page load time
・You can create a site that can withstand high traffic
・You will be able to use the latest CMS.
- The site's content is updated efficiently
・The site's security will be strengthened
Eligible Persons
・Site update personnel for corporate websites and others
・Web Engineer
・CEOs and CTOs of emerging SaaS companies
Marketing and Sales Representative
- Engineers developing smartphone and web applications

[Web Seminar] Would you like to review your translation workflow? ~Utilizing Machine Translation and Post-Editing~
will be held.
Although the number of target markets for overseas expansion is increasing, the translation process remains the same, and there is no increase in the number of personnel.
Do you ever feel limited by the current translation coordination?
More companies are adopting translation processes that utilize AI translation (machine translation) to maximize cost-effectiveness with limited resources.
However, in order to master it, it is necessary to visualize traditional translation tasks and consider ways to improve cost-effectiveness.
I have doubts about personalized translation services.
"I want to increase the languages, but handling translation companies and individual translators is a burden"
We have been handling this in-house, but we are feeling the limits.
"The traditional methods have their limits. I want to increase productivity."
For those facing such challenges, we will share case studies from the perspective of "AI translation (machine translation)."
We will discuss the key points to consider when implementing machine translation and the cost-effectiveness, as well as the necessary corrections (post-editing) required after machine translation.
This seminar is recommended for people like this
- Expansion overseas is progressing, increasing the number of shipping countries and translation languages
・Want to standardize and streamline personalized translation tasks
・Want to improve productivity per person
・We want to reduce costs and shorten lead times in translation BPO services.
・I want to streamline the management of translators and translation companies
Issues We Can Solve
・Able to accommodate an increase in the number of translation languages
・Standardization and efficiency of translation services (establishing quality standards, reviewing and redesigning workflows) can be achieved
・Break away from personalized translation tasks, resulting in cost reduction and shorter lead times.
Seminar Curriculum
1. The Current State of Machine Translation and Cost-Effectiveness
2. Post-editing for Improved Cost-effectiveness
3. <Case Study> In the Case of Manufacturing Industry Manuals
Examples of Machine Translation Errors and Their Solutions
・Reduction in delivery time after the introduction of machine translation
・Reduction of man-hours using tools (Post-editing automation tools, translation project management tools)

Accelerating with COVID-19, breaking free from task dependency Cultivating the power to extract tacit knowledge and the power to visualize operations!
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
The traditional way of working forced to change due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Remote work has rapidly advanced, and there is an increasing demand for the visualization of operations and the sharing of know-how. However, is there not a situation where know-how remains scattered as "tacit knowledge," making it difficult to break free from the personalization of work?
Moreover, it seems that many companies have attempted to engage in the transmission of technology and skills at least once, but have not been successful. Particularly in manual creation, there are cases where the perspective of the user is overlooked, resulting in a lack of utility and ultimately leading to failure.
So, how can we draw out the knowledge and experience we have cultivated over many years?
How should we create a system for manuals and information sharing?
In this seminar, we will introduce "How to Extract Tacit Knowledge" from Field Management and Human Resources, and "Tips for Organizing Work and Creating Manuals" from Human Science. Furthermore, you will learn methods for organizing work through a participatory workshop.
This is practical content that allows you to learn a series of know-how, from "how to extract tacit knowledge, organizing operations, to manualizing operations."
We look forward to your participation.
Additionally, after the seminar, we will be available to discuss any concerns you may have.
If you wish, please select "Desired" in the "Individual Consultation" section of the application form.

AI Machine Learning Annotation Seminar on October 8, 2020 (Thursday)
[Web Seminar] Tips for Successful Annotation Management in AI Machine Learning
~ Over 48 million data creation experience for years ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In AI/machine learning, the quality of annotated training data significantly affects the accuracy of AI.
To improve accuracy, it is necessary to have a large number of human resources for creating a vast amount of training data, making quality and talent management extremely important.
While tools and their usage are important for annotation, there are few areas that can be automated, and manual work cannot be avoided.
Therefore, the weight that depends on the characteristics and abilities of the annotators is significant, and no matter how much manualization or standardization is implemented, if the management points are misaligned, productivity and quality will not improve.
Therefore, the improvement of human performance and the "appropriate balance of coexistence" of manuals greatly influence the quality and productivity of annotations, but this is surprisingly overlooked.
Human Science creates over 48 million training data sets annually.
In this seminar, we will focus on the quality management aspect of annotations based on that knowledge, highlighting the important points.
1. How to incorporate information into the manual
②Mechanisms and devices that maximize human performance
We will introduce examples and case studies.
This is a seminar that we would like those in charge who have the following challenges to participate in!
・I created manuals and guidelines, but I'm not sure how much information I should include (if I include too much, it will never end).
・Although I created the manual, the questions and interactions from the annotators do not decrease.
・I am told by the annotator that balancing quality and productivity is impossible, and I am troubled by this.
・Unable to manage a large number of annotators
The productivity varies greatly depending on the annotator, and we are struggling as there has been no improvement despite guidance.
・I want to focus on development work, so I can't manage the annotators (annotation).
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
・Those who are working on AI implementation, PoC, and other annotations in their own projects
・Those considering BPO for annotation
- Those who feel challenges with their company's annotation process
・Those who are managing annotations
*If the number of applications exceeds the capacity, a lottery may be held.
*We allow up to two participants from the same company.
*If there are many participants, a lottery will be held.

Prepare for the working style with COVID-19: Achieve it with "Business Organization" × "IT Utilization"! How to promote information sharing starting small - Co-hosted by Konica Minolta, Inc.-
will be held.
This seminar will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2020, and Friday, July 31, 2020, and is a revival of the highly acclaimed "It's Not Too Late! How to Organize Your Work to Enhance Telework Productivity."
This time, in addition to the theme of business organization from the last session, we will also introduce the management and sharing methods using the manual creation management system "COCOMITE" from Konica Minolta. If you participated last time and are interested in the management and sharing methods of manuals, please join us! (Please note that some content may overlap.)
———————————————————————————————————————
In response to the new coronavirus, many companies have been forced to transition to non-face-to-face work styles, such as telecommuting and staggered commuting, which are different from the past.
Regardless of the size of the company, creating a work environment that can adapt to today's society has become an essential challenge for businesses.
The main reason for this is,
・One of the characteristics of Japanese corporate culture is the lack of clarity in task organization and division (Challenges of Task Organization)
Many cases seem to exist where there is no platform to share and establish improvements within the company, which is a challenge in utilizing IT.(Challenges in IT utilization)
Specifically...
・Until now, I have judged the workload situation based on the visible members' conditions and allocated tasks according to my sense of balance, so I don't know how to allocate tasks when they become invisible.
Since it is a black box who is doing what, it seems difficult to help each other or distribute the workload when working remotely.
When new employees or mid-career hires come in, the overall picture of the business and information about the work are not organized and are scattered, so work cannot progress without detailed face-to-face instructions.
There is a bottom-up movement to create procedure manuals and consolidate operations, but information is not being utilized because it has not been decided where and how to consolidate it.
To solve such challenges, ① it is important to organize business operations, and ② to gather that information in one place and create a space for quick sharing, according to our company.
In this seminar, we will introduce tips for organizing business operations from human science, as well as methods for management and sharing using the manual creation management tool "COCOMITE" from Konica Minolta.
You can learn a series of know-how from business organization, manual creation, to sharing and operation of manuals.
Additionally, we will introduce the exclusive "COCOMITE 60-Day Free Trial" benefit for those who participated in the seminar. Since implementing a large-scale system can take time to consider, we recommend it for those who want to start small and try it out first.
Through the business organization workshop, you can learn practically, so this is definitely content that those who are about to work on organizing and improving internal business manuals, as well as those who want to organize their own work, should refer to.

———————————————————————————————————————
Digital transformation (DX) utilizing data and digital technology is gaining attention to respond to the rapid changes in the business environment.
The way we work and the nature of services have changed dramatically due to the new coronavirus, prompting some advanced companies to further promote system investments aimed at growth and transformation.
Against this backdrop, we have seen an increase in inquiries from our clients regarding the inventory of operations and the improvement/maintenance of manuals due to the renewal of internal systems.
Revamping the internal system means transforming the way we work and our mindset. To drive this transformation, it is necessary to define the system's intent, how it should be used, and how we want to advance our business in documents such as manuals, and share this with employees as the company's intentions and objectives.
However, it seems that many companies face challenges like the following.
Due to the different systems used for various operations, it is difficult to define the overall flow and relationships of the operations as a manual.
The current manuals are not systematically organized, resulting in information being scattered across operation procedures and business descriptions, making it unclear how to consolidate everything.
Due to the wide scope of work and the presence of multiple players, it is unclear from which perspective and to what level of detail the manuals should be developed.
Each system has a dedicated developer creating the manual, so the content is limited to each manual and not summarized from a business perspective.
There is not just one form of a manual. The ideal form varies depending on the industry, the challenges faced by each company, their structure, the way they work, and their objectives. Simply adopting another company's method does not guarantee success.
The phase of designing the purpose of our manual maintenance and its ideal state is important.
In this seminar, we will introduce methods for current situation analysis in the manual design phase, know-how for manual design tailored to each company, and examples of initiatives from other companies that are actually working on the development of business system manuals.
We will also hold workshops on analytical methods, so the content will be practical and can be implemented immediately in your company.
This is content that we hope will be useful for those in charge who are working on the development of manuals related to the introduction and renewal of internal systems.

will be held.
*This seminar covers the same content as the seminar held on Tuesday, May 21, 2020.
———————————————————————————————————————
Medical translation requires a faster translation speed compared to other industry translations such as IT and patents.
Not only speed, but also because it involves human lives, a balance between speed and accuracy is required.
We must complete a large number of protocols in a short period of time.
"In particular, case report forms (CRFs) require quality and speed."
I want to complete the approval application documents as soon as possible.
"Like CIOMS, there are many translations of repetitive documents. Is there a way to do it efficiently?"
We will provide methods for reducing translation time and improving efficiency using "translation support systems" and "AI translation (machine translation)" for those facing such challenges.
This is brought to you in collaboration with Memsource, a global translation support tool provider, and Human Science, a pharmaceutical translation/translation consulting company.
Reducing delivery times is a common challenge for those involved in industrial translation. Feel free to join us, even if you are a translator from another industry.
This seminar is recommended for people like this
・We want to shorten the lead time for translations
・I want to achieve both shorter translation delivery times and quality maintenance
・I want to streamline translation operations using the system
・There are challenges with the quality of machine translation
・I don't know how to effectively utilize machine translation

AI Machine Learning Annotation Seminar on Thursday, August 6, 2020
[Web Seminar] Tips for Successful Annotation Management in AI Machine Learning
~ Over 48 million data creation experience for years ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In AI/machine learning, the quality of annotated training data significantly affects the accuracy of AI.
To improve accuracy, it is necessary to have a large number of human resources for creating a vast amount of training data, making quality and talent management extremely important.
While tools and their usage are important for annotation, there are few areas that can be automated, and manual work cannot be avoided.
Therefore, the weight that depends on the characteristics and abilities of the annotators is significant, and no matter how much manualization or standardization is implemented, if the management points are misaligned, productivity and quality will not improve.
Therefore, the improvement of human performance and the "appropriate balance of coexistence" of manuals greatly influence the quality and productivity of annotations, but this is surprisingly overlooked.
Human Science creates over 48 million training data sets annually.
In this seminar, we will focus on the quality management aspect of annotations based on that knowledge, highlighting the important points.
1. How to incorporate information into the manual
②Mechanisms and devices that maximize human performance
We will introduce examples and case studies.
This is a seminar that we would like those in charge who have the following challenges to participate in!
・I created manuals and guidelines, but I'm not sure how much information I should include (if I include too much, it will never end).
・Although I created the manual, the questions and interactions from the annotators do not decrease.
・I am told by the annotator that balancing quality and productivity is impossible, and I am troubled by this.
・Unable to manage a large number of annotators
The productivity varies greatly depending on the annotator, and we are struggling as there has been no improvement despite guidance.
・I want to focus on development work, so I can't manage the annotators (annotation).
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
・Those who are working on AI implementation, PoC, and other annotations in their own projects
・Those considering BPO for annotation
- Those who feel challenges with their company's annotation process
・Those who are managing annotations
*If the number of applications exceeds the capacity, a lottery may be held.
*We allow up to two participants from the same company.
*If there are many participants, a lottery will be held.

Preparing for Work Styles with COVID-19 It's not too late! How to Organize Tasks to Enhance Telework Productivity
will be held.
*This seminar is the same content as the web seminar held on June 25, 2020 (Thursday).
———————————————————————————————————————
In response to the new coronavirus, many companies are being forced to transition to non-face-to-face work styles, such as telecommuting and staggered commuting, which are different from the past.
On the other hand, it is also true that many companies feel this necessity but are hesitant to adopt new ways of working.
One of the main reasons often cited is the lack of clarity in task organization and division, which is a characteristic of Japanese corporate culture.
I want to implement telework, but...
・Until now, I have judged the workload situation based on the visible members' conditions and allocated tasks according to my sense of balance, so I don't know how to allocate tasks when they become invisible.
Since it is a black box who is doing what, it seems difficult to help each other or distribute the workload when working remotely.
New employees, whether fresh graduates or mid-career hires, cannot progress in their work without detailed face-to-face instructions on the overall picture of the business and what needs to be done now.
Many Japanese companies tend to have their business operations and methods dependent on individual employees, resulting in a lack of an objective overview of the entire operation. As a result, instructions and handovers rely on intuition and verbal transmission, and when remote work is introduced, operations can suddenly become unmanageable, leading to a decrease in productivity.
When introducing a new way of working, the focus is often on platforms such as tools and systems. However, we believe that the first step should be to take stock of the current operations and organize them, as well as to clearly define and document the roles and methods for each task.
In this seminar, we will introduce tips for organizing operations as a manual creation company, as well as examples of initiatives from other companies (such as major electronics manufacturers and major telecommunications companies) that are actively working on the development of operational manuals.
Through the business organization workshop, you can learn practically, so this is definitely content that those who are about to work on organizing and improving internal business manuals, as well as those who want to organize their own work, should refer to.

Human Science provides consulting to design manual standards tailored to your company, based on our track record of over 2,000 manual creation projects, and we work on improving operations from in-house manual support.

Human Resource Development in the New Normal Era - What Should Data × Human Resource Development Look Like?
will be held.
Recently, digital transformation (hereinafter referred to as DX) has been attracting significant attention in Japan.
In the field of human resources, it seems that various HRTech services have been released, taking on the efforts towards digital transformation (DX).
However, many of them are services related to recruitment, attendance, and payroll, represented by HRMOS, SmartHR, and freee, and there are no new services emerging related to human resource development.
As a result, the HR department is likely continuing traditional human resource development methods such as group training, e-learning, and on-the-job training.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, many Japanese companies have likely given up on traditional training methods, haven't they?
In the current situation where avoiding the 'three Cs' is necessary, it continues to be difficult to conduct group training, and alternative measures are required.
Since the declaration of a state of emergency was announced in early April, there has been a rapid increase in the online and e-learning formats of group training.
However, on the other hand, there may be many representatives who feel that this alone is insufficient in terms of effectiveness.
Due to the coronavirus, we have entered the era of the new normal.
In the new normal era, conventional wisdom no longer applies.
The same applies in the field of human resource development.
In this seminar, we would like to consider the approach to human resource development in the new normal era.
Recommended for people like this
・Interested in human resource development in the new normal era
- Interested in human resource development utilizing data
・I want to know about the latest initiatives in human resource development
・We want to build a culture where employees learn and grow voluntarily

———————————————————————————————————————
As work style reforms are being promoted, many companies are embarking on initiatives aimed at improving their operations. As part of this, an increasing number of companies are focusing on reviewing and organizing their operational manuals.
For example...
We want to create a business manual this term in conjunction with the review of operations due to the renewal of the ERP system.
Since the way of conducting business differs by location, we want to standardize our operations by developing manuals.
Due to the expansion of our business, we have significantly increased hiring, and we want to create an operations manual to efficiently train employees and standardize the quality of our work.
There are many manual creation tools and systems available, but is it really possible to solve these challenges solely with tools and systems? Many people may wonder about this.
In fact, many companies continue to suffer from the same issues as before the system implementation, such as manuals not being used and manuals being uploaded in a disorganized manner, even after the system has been introduced.
Manuals tend to have subjective judgments regarding their quality, making it difficult to objectively measure the effectiveness of improvements. In many cases, if one recklessly starts improvements or makes mistakes in the approach, the efforts can end up being wasted.
However, in order to properly measure the effects of improvements and achieve results that lead to business enhancements,
1. First, organize the current issues and needs related to the manual.
② Clearly define the priority of issues and ensure a common understanding among stakeholders regarding the purpose and effects of improvements
is necessary.
We believe that by sharing perspectives on what the current issues are, what the priority issues should be, and what the desired state of individuals (or things) should be after improvements, we can finally stand at the starting line for manual improvement.
This seminar will focus on the method of visualizing current issues as a pre-phase for reviewing and organizing business manuals, specifically through "interviews" with stakeholders. We will share know-how on how to make the challenges and needs related to the manuals apparent through these interviews.
Based on actual project examples, we will discuss the interview content, subsequent improvement measures, and effectiveness evaluation, so we hope this will be a valuable reference for everyone who is working on improving manuals.

AI Machine Learning Annotation Seminar on May 21, 2020 (Thursday)
[Web Seminar] Tips for Successful Annotation Management in AI Machine Learning
~ Over 48 million data creation experience for years ~
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
In AI/machine learning, the quality of annotated training data significantly affects the accuracy of AI.
To improve accuracy, it is necessary to have a large number of human resources for creating a vast amount of training data, making quality and talent management extremely important.
While tools and their usage are important for annotation, there are few areas that can be automated, and manual work cannot be avoided.
Therefore, the weight that depends on the characteristics and abilities of the annotators is significant, and no matter how much manualization or standardization is implemented, if the management points are misaligned, productivity and quality will not improve.
Therefore, the improvement of human performance and the "appropriate balance of coexistence" of manuals greatly influence the quality and productivity of annotations, but this is surprisingly overlooked.
Human Science creates over 48 million training data sets annually.
In this seminar, we will focus on the quality management aspect of annotations based on that knowledge, highlighting the important points.
1. How to incorporate information into the manual
②Mechanisms and devices that maximize human performance
We will introduce examples and case studies.
This is a seminar that we would like those in charge who have the following challenges to participate in!
・I created manuals and guidelines, but I'm not sure how much information I should include (if I include too much, it will never end).
・Although I created the manual, the questions and interactions from the annotators do not decrease.
・I am told by the annotator that balancing quality and productivity is impossible, and I am troubled by this.
・Unable to manage a large number of annotators
The productivity varies greatly depending on the annotator, and we are struggling as there has been no improvement despite guidance.
・I want to focus on development work, so I can't manage the annotators (annotation).
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
・Those who are working on AI implementation, PoC, and other annotations in their own projects
・Those considering BPO for annotation
- Those who feel challenges with their company's annotation process
・Those who are managing annotations

[Web Seminar] Would you like to review your translation workflow? ~Utilizing Machine Translation and Post-Editing~
will be held.
Although the number of target markets for overseas expansion is increasing, the translation process remains the same, and there is no increase in the number of personnel.
Do you ever feel limited by the current translation coordination?
More companies are adopting translation processes that utilize AI translation (machine translation) to maximize cost-effectiveness with limited resources.
However, in order to master it, it is necessary to visualize traditional translation tasks and consider ways to improve cost-effectiveness.
I have doubts about personalized translation services.
"I want to increase the languages, but handling translation companies and individual translators is a burden"
We have been handling this in-house, but we are feeling the limits.
"The traditional methods have their limits. I want to increase productivity."
For those facing such challenges, we will share case studies from the perspective of "AI translation (machine translation)."
We will discuss the key points to consider when implementing machine translation and the cost-effectiveness, as well as the necessary corrections (post-editing) required after machine translation.
This seminar is recommended for people like this
- Expansion overseas is progressing, increasing the number of shipping countries and translation languages
・Want to standardize and streamline personalized translation tasks
・Want to improve productivity per person
・We want to reduce costs and shorten lead times in translation BPO services.
・I want to streamline the management of translators and translation companies
Issues We Can Solve
・Able to accommodate an increase in the number of translation languages
・Standardization and efficiency of translation services (establishing quality standards, reviewing and redesigning workflows) can be achieved
・Break away from personalized translation tasks, resulting in cost reduction and shorter lead times.
Seminar Curriculum
1. The Current State of Machine Translation and Cost-Effectiveness
2. Post-editing for Improved Cost-effectiveness
3. <Case Study> In the Case of Manufacturing Industry Manuals
Examples of Machine Translation Errors and Their Solutions
・Reduction in delivery time after the introduction of machine translation
・Reduction of man-hours using tools (Post-editing automation tools, translation project management tools)

Recently, digital transformation (hereinafter referred to as DX) has been attracting significant attention in Japan. In the field of human resources, various HRTech services have been released, and it seems that they are taking on the efforts towards DX.
However, many of them are services related to recruitment, attendance, and payroll, represented by HRMOS, SmartHR, and freee, and there are no new services emerging related to human resource development.
As a result, the HR department is likely continuing traditional human resource development methods such as group training, e-learning, and on-the-job training.
The "Global Human Capital Trends 2019" report by Deloitte indicates a shift in focus from recruitment to talent development.
Furthermore, it is believed that the next-generation LMS, known as LXP (Learning Experience Platform), will play a significant role in future human resource development.
While it may not be a commonly heard term in Japan, overseas companies like Workday and Cornerstone are starting to implement features similar to LXP.
How should Japanese companies incorporate such active trends from overseas?
In this seminar, we will discuss the digital transformation era,
・How talent development differs between overseas and Japan
How should future human resource development be designed?
・What is the key LXP?
I will convey it.
Recommended for people like this
・Dissatisfied with traditional human resource development and want to change it
I want to know about initiatives for developing overseas talent
・We want to build a culture where employees learn and grow voluntarily
*This seminar is only open for participation by those involved in the Human Resources Department or personnel development.

Manual Creation Seminar on January 30, 2020 (Thursday) in Shinjuku, Tokyo
A Must-See for Business Improvement Personnel! How to Create and Review Manuals that Help with Business Improvement
will be held.
*This seminar is the same content as the seminar held on December 5, 2019 (Thursday).
———————————————————————————————————————
It is necessary to work on improving manuals for business improvement, but...
・I was tasked with improving the manual with a focus on business improvement, but I don't know what the goal of the improvement should be.
- With multiple departments, there is no shared standard for what kind of manuals the company should have, making it difficult to determine the direction for improvement.
I would like other departments to work on improving the manuals, but I am struggling with how to present quantitative evidence rather than qualitative.
As work style reforms are being promoted, many companies are embarking on initiatives for business improvement, and as part of this, an increasing number of companies are focusing on reviewing and organizing their operational manuals.
However, such initiatives often face challenges in setting goals and measuring effectiveness, and it seems that many responsible individuals are anxious about how to proceed.
Manuals tend to have subjective judgments regarding their quality, making it difficult to objectively measure the effectiveness of improvements. In many cases, if one recklessly starts improvements or makes mistakes in the approach, the efforts can end up being wasted.
However, in order to properly measure the effects of improvements and achieve results that lead to business enhancements,

is necessary.
We believe that by sharing perspectives on what the current issues are, what the priority issues should be, and what the desired state of individuals (or things) should be after improvements, we can finally stand at the starting line for manual improvement.
In this seminar, we will introduce the know-how for advancing manual improvements that deliver tangible results recommended by our company, which supports business improvement as a manual production company.
We also conduct document analysis workshops using actual manuals as materials, so the content is designed to be immediately applicable when taken back to your company. This is definitely something that business improvement personnel who are looking to work on manual enhancements should refer to.

Manual Creation Seminar on December 5, 2019 (Thursday) in Shinjuku, Tokyo
A Must-See for Business Improvement Personnel! How to Create and Review Manuals that Help with Business Improvement
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
It is necessary to work on improving manuals for business improvement, but...
・I was tasked with improving the manual with a focus on business improvement, but I don't know what the goal of the improvement should be.
- With multiple departments, there is no shared standard for what kind of manuals the company should have, making it difficult to determine the direction for improvement.
I would like other departments to work on improving the manuals, but I am struggling with how to present quantitative evidence rather than qualitative.
As work style reforms are being promoted, many companies are embarking on initiatives for business improvement, and as part of this, an increasing number of companies are focusing on reviewing and organizing their operational manuals.
However, such initiatives often face challenges in setting goals and measuring effectiveness, and it seems that many responsible individuals are anxious about how to proceed.
Manuals tend to have subjective judgments regarding their quality, making it difficult to objectively measure the effectiveness of improvements. In many cases, if one recklessly starts improvements or makes mistakes in the approach, the efforts can end up being wasted.
However, in order to properly measure the effects of improvements and achieve results that lead to business enhancements,
1. First, organize the current issues and needs related to the manual.
② Clearly define the priority of issues and ensure a common understanding among stakeholders regarding the purpose and effects of improvements
is necessary.
We believe that by sharing perspectives on what the current issues are, what the priority issues should be, and what the desired state of individuals (or things) should be after improvements, we can finally stand at the starting line for manual improvement.
In this seminar, we will introduce the know-how for advancing manual improvements that deliver tangible results recommended by our company, which supports business improvement as a manual production company.
We also conduct document analysis workshops using actual manuals as materials, so the content is designed to be immediately applicable when taken back to your company. This is definitely something that business improvement personnel who are looking to work on manual enhancements should refer to.
————————————————————————————————————-
Human Science provides consulting to design manual standards tailored to your company, based on our track record of over 1,947 manual creation projects, supporting in-house manual production and working on business improvements.

[Web Seminar] Building Document Sites Using Markdown
Document production environment setup using Markdown / Vuepress / Firebase / CircleCI
will be held.
Are the man-hours involved in document creation, such as manuals, specifications, and API references, putting pressure on your daily development tasks?
For example, with Markdown, you can manage it on Git along with the source code, and it does not require special knowledge compared to HTML coding.
In addition, by combining OSS technologies such as SSG/SPA/CI/PWA/BaaS, we can automate everything from the HTML output of high-quality and high-performance documentation sites to deployment.
We will introduce a method to build documentation sites easily and affordably using modern technology.
Benefits of Using Markdown
You can achieve 4 times the performance and high security compared to using CMSs like Wordpress.
・You can build a website using just a simple Markdown syntax without any knowledge of HTML, JS, or CSS.
You can basically build a website production environment for free by using only the free tiers of OSS and SaaS.
・You can manage documents (specifications, manuals, etc.) along with the source code on GitHub.

Since 2017, Human Science has been supporting the introduction of neural machine translation, including Google Translate, and during that time, we have received feedback from our clients.
Is it really possible to expect cost-effectiveness?
Can the quality of translation be maintained?
Is it necessary to make corrections after machine translation?
We have been receiving more inquiries like this.
If you can compromise on quality, you can use the translated text generated by machine translation as is. However, for documents where errors are not acceptable, such as product manuals, a process called "post-editing" is necessary to correct the machine-translated text.
If post-editing is done by people, there is no point in investing in machine translation.
In this seminar, we will explain, including post-editing with machine translation, - Specifically, how much time and cost reduction is possible - The methods of post-editing based on example sentences .
Additionally, for those who wish, we will conduct individual consultations after the seminar. Please check the box for individual consultation in the application form.

Manual Creation Seminar on September 26, 2019 (Thursday) in Shinjuku, Tokyo
Don't write suddenly! Start manual creation with visualizing business processes
will be held.
———————————————————————————————————————
Recently, against the backdrop of the retirement of the baby boomer generation and the fluidity of human resources, the challenge of "how to smoothly develop talent" has become more significant than ever.
Against this backdrop, more companies are working on the development of operational manuals as a means to efficiently convey the skills and know-how of veteran employees, which had become personalized, to other members.
To create a business manual, you first need to take stock of the tasks that have become dependent on specific individuals and start by organizing the necessary information for the readers.
However, it seems that there are many cases where the person in charge does not know the specific method and cannot take the first step. Alternatively, I often hear stories about starting to write manuals without inventorying the tasks.
Below are some of the concerns expressed by our clients.
・Since the way of doing business varies from person to person, it is unclear whose method should be standardized in the manual.
I don't know what content to include and how to write it in the manual.
・I created it for now, but the information is not complete.
・I am busy with my original responsibilities and cannot find the time as I would like.
・Internal members do not understand the importance of manual creation. No one is willing to help.
Our company provides support to customers facing such challenges at each step, from organizing operations to creating manuals.
In this seminar, we will introduce tips for organizing business processes, which is an important step in creating business manuals, as well as examples of initiatives from other companies (such as major electronics manufacturers and major telecommunications companies) that are actually working on developing business manuals.
Through the business organization workshop, you can learn practically, so this is definitely content that those who are about to work on organizing and improving internal business manuals, as well as those who want to organize their own work, should refer to.

Trados/Memsource/memoQ Translation Support Tool Implementation and Operation Seminar to Maximize Cost Effectiveness
will be held.
Overview
More and more companies are introducing translation support tools (CAT tools) such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and memoQ to improve translation productivity and reduce translation costs.
One of the challenges in introducing such tools is the cost-effectiveness. For example, do you have any concerns like the ones below?
・Although translation support tools have been introduced, they have not achieved the expected cost and labor reduction effects...
・I cannot decide to implement translation support tools because I do not understand the cost-effectiveness...
In this seminar, we will introduce two effective approaches to maximize the cost-effectiveness of translation support tools.
1. Optimization of the Translation Workflow
▼Recommended for people like this.
・The degree of utilization of translation processes and tools varies by person
・The creation and management of translation memories are left to outsourced translation companies and translators, and are not being capitalized as assets.
・Different expressions are mixed within the translation memory, so the translated text cannot be reused as is.
②Standardization of Japanese Documents
▼Recommended for people like this.
・The writing in Japanese is unclear or contains mistakes, which is causing delays in the translation work.
・Due to duplication in the Japanese text, the volume of translation has increased.
・Due to the lack of consistency in terminology and notation in the Japanese text, inconsistencies have also arisen in the translation.
By implementing these approaches, you will be able to effectively realize the greatest benefit of introducing translation support tools, which is the accumulation and reuse of translation memories (past translation assets).
————————————————————————————————————————-
In this seminar, we will introduce the key points of each approach and examples of improvements.
Case Study 1: Industrial Equipment Manufacturer - 20% Reduction in Translation Costs
Optimization of translation workflow for manuals and specifications
Case Study 2: Robot Manufacturer - 50% Reduction in Translation Effort
Standardization of Japanese documents for the translation of user manuals and specifications
If you feel the need to improve translation operations, please join us!!
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
*This seminar is expected to overlap approximately 80% with the "Learn from Case Studies! Translation Cost and Labor Reduction Know-How Seminar" held in June 2019, and about 50% with the "Trados/Memsource/memoQ Translation Memory and Glossary Creation Know-How Seminar" held in April 2019.

Recently, against the backdrop of declining birth rates, an aging population, and a decrease in the working population, workplaces are being asked to improve productivity in a shorter time than ever before.
There is a growing need to document internal business know-how and knowledge in manuals to break such situations.
However, in many companies, efforts to organize manuals have become personalized, and it seems that the maintenance and utilization of manuals are not progressing well.
・I don't know how to document the know-how of veterans.
・There are various manuals within the company, but they are not being utilized effectively.
・Business instructions and rules are not communicated to the field.
・Internal members do not understand the importance of manual creation. No one is willing to help.
To develop a manual that is not personalized by the writer, it is necessary to analyze the challenges faced by the company and consider appropriate approaches based on those challenges.
In this seminar, we will provide information to help those who are about to work on manual organization and improvement to objectively analyze the challenges their company faces and consider specific approaches for improvement.
Can't the system be implemented with the current manual?
Many companies planning business improvements and work style reforms based on manuals are considering the introduction of systems to efficiently create and operate manuals.
・A platform for centralized management of company manuals
- Chatbot that answers user questions
and so on.
In this seminar series, we will introduce key points on how to make the most of the system based on actual cases we have collaborated on. The content can be immediately applied to real business operations!

"Are the accuracies of neural translations, such as Google Translate and OpenNMT, really good?"
"Is there a risk of information leakage with Google Translate? I'm worried about security."
"Machine translation and automatic translation cannot apply terminology. What should be done?"
Is there no software that can automatically translate Word and PowerPoint documents, as well as emails?
We have been receiving more inquiries like this.
We will introduce case studies of three companies that utilize machine translation in their actual operations, focusing on Google Translate, and discuss the challenges associated with the implementation of machine translation and their solutions.
Please feel free to join us!

Learn from Case Studies! Translation Cost and Labor Reduction Know-How Seminar
will be held.
In order to achieve "work style reform" and "productivity improvement," there is an increasing demand for business improvements to reduce costs and man-hours in translation operations within companies and universities. In such circumstances, many responsible individuals seem to be troubled by the thought, "I want to work on improvements, but I don't know where to start."
In this seminar, we will introduce three representative approaches to eliminate waste in translation operations and achieve efficiency: 1) optimization of the translation workflow, 2) utilization of translation support tools such as Trados and Memsource, and machine translation, and 3) standardization of Japanese documents, along with case studies.
Scheduled Case Studies
[Case Study 1: 20% Reduction in Man-Hours for an Industrial Equipment Manufacturer - Translation of Manuals and Specifications] Optimization of the translation process, standardization of style guides, and maintenance of translation memory
[Case Study 2: 40% Reduction in Man-Hours - National University: Translation of Guide Maps, Admission Guides, etc.] Implementation and Utilization of Translation Support Tools and Machine Translation
[Case Study ③ 50% Reduction in Man-Hours Robot Manufacturer Translation of User Manuals and Specifications] Standardization of Japanese Documents (Improvements from the Original Text Used for Translation)

Learn from Case Studies! Trados/Memsource/memoQ Translation Memory and Glossary Creation Know-How Seminar
will be held.
We will share the key to improving the QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) of translations by utilizing translation support tools such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and memoQ, which is "Know-how for Creating and Maintaining Translation Memories and Glossaries"!
Overview
Many companies have introduced translation support tools (CAT tools) such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and memoQ to improve translation productivity and reduce translation costs, but it seems that they have not achieved the expected results.
One of the challenges in the operation of translation support tools in such companies is the point that "translation memories and glossaries are not being utilized effectively".
For example, do you have any concerns like the following?
・Different expressions are mixed within the translation memory, so the translated text cannot be reused as is.
・The creation and management of translation memories are left to translation companies and translators, and they are not being capitalized as assets.
・I feel that the translation quality varies depending on the manuals and documents.
・There are no specific rules or standards for translation, and each translator or translation company translates according to their own policies.
There is a glossary, but it is not very useful because various terms are mixed together.
If translation memories and glossaries are not properly managed and utilized, the greatest benefit of introducing translation support tools, which is the accumulation and reuse of past translation assets, cannot be realized, resulting in a waste of valuable resources.
In this seminar, we will introduce the approach and specific points for creating and maintaining translation memories and glossaries based on two case studies from industrial equipment manufacturers and universities.
Why not take this opportunity to review the contents, management, and operational rules of your translation memory and glossary?
This content will be helpful for those who want to introduce translation support tools. If you are considering specific actions to improve translation memory and glossaries, please join us.
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.

Since the announcement of neural network-based machine translation engines by Google, Microsoft, Systran, and NICT in 2016, accuracy has dramatically improved, and neural machine translation is becoming the standard for machine translation and automatic translation.
Since 2017, Human Science has been supporting the introduction of neural machine translation, including Google Translate, and during that time, we have received feedback from our clients.
"Are the accuracies of neural translations, such as Google Translate and OpenNMT, really good?"
"Is there a risk of information leakage with Google Translate? I'm worried about security."
"Machine translation and automatic translation cannot apply terminology. What should be done?"
Is there no software that can automatically translate Word and PowerPoint documents, as well as emails?
We have been receiving more inquiries like this.
We will introduce case studies of three companies that utilize machine translation in their actual operations, while discussing the challenges associated with the implementation of machine translation and their solutions.

Learn from Case Studies! Trados/Memsource/MemoQ Translation Support Tools Problem Solving Seminar
Know-how for Standardization of Translation Operations and Improvement of Productivity - Workshop Included
will be held.
Based on our experience in improving translation operations for manufacturing and IT companies using translation support tools such as Trados, Memsource, and MemoQ, "Key Points for Standardizing Translation Operations and Improving Productivity" will be shared!
Overview
Many companies have introduced translation support tools (CAT tools) such as Trados Studio, Memsource, and MemoQ to improve translation productivity and reduce translation costs, but it seems that they have not achieved the expected results.
・Translating without any standards, resulting in non-standardized translation quality in the translation memory
・The creation and management of translation memories are left to outsourced translation companies or translators. They are not being capitalized.
・The degree of utilization of translation memory and translation support tools varies by the person in charge.
- Introduced translation support tools, but not utilizing them at all
Translation support tools are software that allows you to register pairs of original texts and translations in a database when translating large volumes of documents.
It is suitable for the translation of user manuals and technical documents that contain many standard expressions and are of large volume.
In this seminar, we will introduce specific points and improvement examples to solve challenges in translation work and the operation of translation support tools, and to achieve results.
In the workshop, we will conduct chart-based diagnostics and workflow organization to understand where the current translation operations have challenges and consider directions for future improvements.
If you have already introduced translation support tools but are not managing them well, or if you are considering introducing translation support tools, please join us.
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.

GitHub × Manual Creation Seminar using Markdown/AsciiDoc
Solving the Challenges of Manual Creation for Development Engineers
will be held.
This seminar is,
We want a system to promote collaboration between the development site and the manual production site.
We want to create a user-friendly manual production environment for developers by combining open source.
"There is no budget that exceeds 10 million, like the cost of CMS implementation."
"I want to enhance the quality of documents written by engineers using tools"
"I want a system that outputs HTML and PDF from a single source"
This is a seminar that we would like those who have such challenges to participate in.
Please feel free to apply!
Overview
Many IT companies face the challenge of the burden on engineers due to manual production using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or tools like FrameMaker and InDesign.
Even if you consider introducing a CMS (Content Management System) to reduce the burden, it is not uncommon for there to be cases where it takes time until operation, and the implementation and operational costs become a bottleneck.
Currently, in IT advanced countries like the US, attention is being drawn to the existence of open source.
Many engineers are utilizing open source that matches their needs in their work.
In addition, there are many engineers who are proficient in using simple markup languages such as Markdown and AsciiDoc.
If your company manages source code on GitHub, you can create manuals in text files, allowing you to manage them in the same flow as the source code.
In this seminar, we will introduce a method to significantly reduce the burden of manual production, which has been a hindrance for developers, by using a simple lightweight markup language for document creation and leveraging open source tools.
A case study of Yamaha Corporation, which reduced production costs by 30% by combining open-source GitHub and AsciiDoc to build a production environment, will also be woven in as we explain a highly feasible production flow!
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
Feel free to join us!
*This seminar is based on the content covered in the session "Start Small with Data-Driven - Break Down the Barriers with Development Sites!" at the "TC Symposium 2018" on August 29.

Overview
Many companies that create product manuals and business manuals face the challenge of how to efficiently create useful manuals while working in parallel with their operations.
・No know-how in manual creation
- Creating business manuals for efficiency and skill transfer, but unsure how much information should be included.
・My subordinates do not understand the importance of manual creation. I want to change their awareness, but I don't know what to convey first.
In this situation, the business personnel are considering a review of the manual creation process in order to implement some improvements.
However, when you actually start considering it, various challenges arise...
・There are various manuals within the company, but I don't know which one to use as a model.
・I feel that the quality varies depending on who writes the manual.
I want to provide feedback to the manual creators, but I don't even know how to evaluate the manuals in the first place.
We have established guidelines for manual creation (standard types) for the time being, but they do not seem to be utilized effectively and feel somewhat unhelpful.
Human Science provides consulting to design manual standards tailored to your company, based on our track record of over 1,947 manual creation projects, supporting in-house manual production and working on business improvements.

"Are the accuracies of neural translations, such as Google Translate and OpenNMT, really good?"
"Is there a risk of information leakage with Google Translate? I'm worried about security."
"Machine translation and automatic translation cannot apply terminology. What should be done?"
Is there no software that can automatically translate Word and PowerPoint documents, as well as emails?
We have been receiving more inquiries like this.
We will introduce case studies of three companies that utilize machine translation in their actual operations, while discussing the challenges associated with the implementation of machine translation and their solutions.
Additionally, for those who wish, we will conduct individual consultations after the seminar. Please check the box for individual consultation in the application form.

Manual Creation Seminar at Human Science Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku, Tokyo) on July 13, 2018 (Friday)
Three Key Principles for Effective Manuals
Creating, Utilizing, and Establishing Standards
will be held.
Of course, those who have specific issues,
I don't know where to start.
"I never even considered the standards for manuals in the first place."
This is a seminar that we would like those who are interested to participate in.
It is also possible to take your actual documents and conduct a free simple assessment!
Please feel free to apply!
Overview
Many companies that create product manuals and business manuals face the challenge of how to efficiently create useful manuals while working in parallel with their operations.
・No know-how in manual creation
- Creating business manuals for efficiency and skill transfer, but unsure how much information should be included.
・My subordinates do not understand the importance of manual creation. I want to change their awareness, but I don't know what to convey first.
In this situation, the business personnel are considering a review of the manual creation process in order to implement some improvements.
However, when you actually start considering it, various challenges arise...
・There are various manuals within the company, but I don't know which one to use as a model.
・I feel that the quality varies depending on who writes the manual.
I want to provide feedback to the manual creators, but I don't even know how to evaluate the manuals in the first place.
We have established guidelines for manual creation (standard types) for the time being, but they do not seem to be utilized effectively and feel somewhat unhelpful.
Human Science provides consulting to design manual standards tailored to your company, based on our track record of over 1,947 manual creation projects, supporting in-house manual production and working on business improvements.
In this seminar, we will introduce key points for determining the standards of manuals that suit your company.
This content can be immediately applied to practical work!
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.
Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
This seminar is a popular event that has been attended by over 100 participants annually (based on 2017 results).
Feel free to join us!

will be held.
This seminar will be held on March 9th (Friday) and is an additional session due to the overwhelming popularity and full attendance of the previous seminar.
We encourage those who missed the last event to participate enthusiastically!
Participants' Feedback (from the survey)
It is common sense to prepare a checklist of 'what should be clarified' before outsourcing manual creation, but it had not been done, so it was helpful.
I was confused about the points to organize for outsourcing, but I was able to find a clue through the seminar.
"The success and failure cases when outsourcing were helpful references."
"I want to take back the 'Key Points Learned from Case Studies' and communicate the necessity of BPO within the company."
Of course, those who have specific issues,
I don't know where to start.
"I would like to reconsider whether there is a need for BPO in the first place."
This is a seminar that we would like those who are interested to participate in.
Please feel free to apply!
Overview of Manual Creation Seminars
Many companies that create product manuals and operational manuals in-house face the challenge of how to efficiently produce useful manuals while managing their core business activities.
- Creating operational manuals for efficiency and skill transfer, but there is not enough time
・No know-how in manual creation
・My subordinates do not understand the importance of manual creation. No one is willing to help.
In such situations, business personnel often feel limited by internal efforts and consider seeking external support to implement some improvements. However, when they actually begin to explore this option, various challenges arise...
・Should improvements be made internally only, or is external support necessary? I cannot even make that judgment.
・Is it possible to outsource to external parties who have no product knowledge?
- What should be prepared and how before outsourcing.
・I want to consider BPO, but I don't know how to gain internal agreement.
・We are already outsourcing, but we are not sure if we are achieving results.
Human Science provides consulting for effective BPO implementation, focusing on in-house manual support and business improvement based on our track record of over 1,947 manual creation projects.
We will introduce points to consider when determining the manual creation method that suits your company (in-house or BPO).
This content can be immediately applied to practical work!
After the seminar, we will offer individual consultations as needed.

At LocWorld 36 Tokyo, held on April 4, 2018 (Wednesday) in Tokyo
To apply a glossary to neural machine translation
We will announce.
In recent years, many companies have been offering neural machine translation services.
However, many services do not implement the essential terminology features required for industrial translation. This has been a barrier to introducing neural machine translation in industrial translation.
At Human Science, we are exploring various methods of terminology application in neural machine translation while advancing its use in real projects.
In this presentation, we will introduce the application methods of the terms devised by our company.

"There is a work standard document, but there are many human errors, and the quality of work and standard time (ST) are not stable."
We hear voices expressing such concerns.
It seems that there are many situations where, due to a lack of measures to improve work standard documents, they have become mere formalities, and the operations are relying on the know-how of veteran workers to keep the line running.
・It was pointed out that the work standard document is difficult to understand in the factory audit
Despite writing all the necessary information as required by the quality control department, the reputation on site is not good.
・Due to the perspective of the production technology department, the text is not understood by the workers.
Among manufacturing companies with factories and branches overseas, concurrently,
・Considering overseas expansion, but the documents are unclear and the translation is not going well.
・Considering machine translation, but concerned about quality and security
We have also seen an increase in inquiries like these.
In this seminar, based on our achievements in manual creation and consulting as a translation company,
1. How to Write Work Standards and Manuals to Prevent Human Errors
It has gained significant attention due to the dramatic improvement in translation accuracy in both directions, from English to Japanese and from Japanese to English, compared to conventional machine translation.
2. Key Points for Utilizing Neural Machine Translation *
We will convey this in two parts.
After the seminar, we will accept individual consultations.
Feel free to join us!
*What is Neural Machine Translation
In 2016, neural network-based machine translation engines were announced by Google, Microsoft, Systran, and NICT.

How to Write Work Standards to Prevent Human Errors
will be held.
Overview
A work standard document to ensure consistent quality regardless of when or who performs the task.
Essential documents in the manufacturing industry, but from the document managers in departments such as production technology
"There are work standards, but there are many human errors, and the quality of work and standard time (ST) are not stable."
We hear voices expressing such concerns.
Behind such concerns, it seems that there are many situations where the work standard documents have become mere formalities without any efforts to improve them, and the operations are relying on the know-how of veteran workers just to keep the line running.
・During the factory audit, the difficulty of understanding the work standard documents was pointed out,
I don't know how to improve.
Despite having written all the necessary information as required by the quality control department, the reputation on site is not good.
Writing from the perspective of the production technology department makes it difficult for operators to understand.
- Considering overseas expansion, but the documents are unclear and the translation is not going well.
In order to continue growing as a company amidst various improvements and changes required, such as skill transfer, productivity enhancement, and overseas expansion, work standard documents must be written in a way that ensures the same results regardless of who performs the task.
In this seminar, based on our consulting achievements as a manual production company, we will explain the know-how and tips for writing in a way that produces the same results regardless of who performs the task.
Human errors can occur in any workplace, regardless of industry or sector.
If you are struggling with human errors regardless of the manufacturing industry, or if you want to improve your operations by upgrading your documentation, please join us for information gathering.

On Thursday, October 5, 2017, at the TC Symposium 2017 in Kyoto
"Document Structuring Without Fail - Visualizing the Current Situation through Fit & Gap" will be presented.
Although we considered implementing a system aimed at reducing costs and improving efficiency in document production,
"We are not sure if our documents are suitable for structuring"
I don't know what steps to take.
Even if we introduce an expensive system, we are worried about whether it can be operated properly.
Many companies are unable to proceed with implementation for various reasons.
In that case, first conduct a fit and gap analysis, and by analyzing the current situation, it will be easier to identify tasks for system implementation and formulate a roadmap.
In this presentation, Japan Unitec and Human Science, both with extensive achievements in document standardization and structuring, will introduce methods for fit and gap analysis, as well as an approach to implementing plugin tools for traditional editors (e.g., FrameMaker).
Introduce an approach to quantitatively evaluate whether the current documents are suitable for structuring and visualize the current situation with a demonstration.

On Thursday, October 5, 2017, at the TC Symposium 2017 in Kyoto
"Three Perspectives to Improve the Productivity of Translation Work - Visualization, Optimization, and Automation of Translation Quality and Processes" will be announced.
In the context of technological innovations such as AI and reforms in work styles, improving efficiency and productivity has become a major challenge in the translation industry.
However, many companies implement temporary cost-cutting measures or simply adopt systems for automation without addressing the fundamental issues underlying the quality and process of translation.
To improve the efficiency of translation work and achieve true productivity, it is effective to review the quality and process of translation from three perspectives: "visualization, optimization, and automation," whether the translation is done internally or externally.
・ Translation is completely outsourced to external vendors, and the quality and process have become a black box.
・ The translation work is personalized, and the quality and productivity vary from person to person.
・ Tools such as machine translation are not being effectively utilized
What should we start with and how should we tackle these issues in translation work?
In this presentation, we will introduce specific approaches to improve translation quality and processes based on case studies of translation work improvement in domestic companies, aiming to bring them closer to the ideal state and enhance productivity.

・"Learn from Case Studies! Know-how for Improving In-house Manual Quality - Visualizing Issues and Results of Manual Improvements"
Overview
This time, I will talk about the theme of 'visualizing the challenges and improvements of manuals.'
Manual production without clear indicators like sales, making it difficult to see the results of efforts.
In the production field, various concerns can be heard.
"I created a manual, but I have no feedback from either the company or the customers, so I'm not confident if it was done correctly."
I took over the manual creation tasks, but when I tried to create it by imitating my predecessor's manual, I was scolded by my boss.
"Even though I am busy with my main duties, no one is helping me, and I can't organize what I should ask for."
I received instructions from my boss to create a manual, but without any explanation of the intent or background of the manual, I have no choice but to tackle it in my own way.
Behind these voices, it seems there are challenges with the manuals and the need for improvements, as well as the difficulty in presenting the results of efforts, while the person in charge is overwhelmed with their primary duties and is creating the manuals in a state of confusion.
To effectively create and improve manuals with outcomes that are not easily visible, it is necessary to visualize the current issues (AsIs) and clearly define the desired state (ToBe) before proceeding. However, the reality is that corporate representatives have few opportunities to learn about these methods.
I want to know the current issues with the manual.
"I want to know the design methods for the ideal state"
We want to gain consensus for improvement from stakeholders and draw out cooperation.
I want to visualize the results of improvements and report them to my supervisor.
In this seminar, we will introduce an approach to address the above challenges based on our past consulting achievements.
If you are about to work on improving your internal manuals, if you are currently working on it but lack confidence in your methods and approaches, or if you are doing well but want to compare your methods with those of other companies for verification, please join us for information gathering.
This will be the 7th session, but it is designed so that even those who have never participated in past seminars can join as a one-time attendee.
After the seminar, we will provide individual consultations as needed. Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
Feel free to join us!

will be held at Wink Aichi (Aichi Prefectural Industrial Labor Center).
Overview
In 2016, neural network-based machine translation engines were announced by Google, Microsoft, Systran, and NICT.
Neural machine translation has gained significant attention due to its remarkable improvement in translation accuracy in both directions, from English to Japanese and from Japanese to English, compared to traditional machine translation.
In this seminar, we will introduce an overview and examples of neural machine translation for representatives of companies considering the introduction of machine translation, and explain how to easily implement neural machine translation.
Recently, neural machine translation (hereinafter referred to as NMT) has been attracting attention in various places.
It has been confirmed that the accuracy of NMT in Japanese has significantly improved compared to previous statistical machine translation methods.
Since 2016, we have verified how much translation work can be streamlined when NMT is implemented in actual projects.
In addition, we have summarized the unique issues of NMT that became apparent through this verification.
In this presentation, we will discuss the quality of NMT, the optimal content for NMT, and the issues and solutions related to NMT.
About the Machine Translation (MT) Summit
This is an international conference where researchers and translation professionals gather to present the latest achievements in machine translation and hold invited talks. Since the first conference was held in Hakone in 1987, more than 300 participants have attended each time.
The 16th edition will be held in Nagoya from September 18 (Monday) to September 22 (Friday) for five days.
We will hold a free seminar titled "Transitioning from Flash to HTML5 e-Learning: Preparing for the End of Flash in 2020" on Wednesday, September 20, 2017.
At the Tokyo headquarters of Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun on September 6, 2017 (Wednesday)
Accelerate Global Expansion! Approaches to Improve the Quality and Productivity of Technical Documents for Overseas Markets
Know-how on "How to Write and Create Japanese Text Suitable for Overseas Expansion" and "Translation Quality Management"
will be held.
To enhance international competitiveness, various initiatives are being implemented by companies, such as compliance with overseas standards, reduction of manufacturing costs, and shortening lead times for local releases.
In this context, we hear from many companies that there are challenges with the QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) of technical documents for overseas markets, such as manuals accompanying products, which have become a bottleneck for their international expansion.
- Improve the quality of technical documents and reduce support workload
・We want to promote the clarity of our technical documents to differentiate ourselves from competitors in the overseas market.
・We want to shorten the lead time for creating technical documents to achieve simultaneous release in each language.
As the number of supported languages increases, translation costs also rise. We want to streamline processes to reduce translation costs.
・We want to improve the productivity of our translation operations to efficiently translate the increasing number of documents.
To solve the challenges of creating technical documents for overseas markets, it is essential to design the quality and processes in advance during the translation process, just as in the manufacturing process of products.
However, many companies still overlook the design of quality and processes, leading to unnecessary costs that could be avoided and the tragic circulation of poor-quality documents.
In this course, we will introduce common failure cases in the creation of technical documents for overseas markets by domestic companies, while explaining approaches to "optimize the cost and quality" of technical documents for international audiences.
In particular, you can learn practically through workshops about "How to write and create Japanese text suitable for overseas expansion" and "Translation quality design and process development," which have a significant effect on improving QCD for technical documents aimed at overseas markets.
We will also introduce key points and success stories regarding the introduction of machine translation, which has recently been gaining attention in the field of document translation for the manufacturing industry.
We provide practical advice based on insights gained from creating a wealth of technical documentation for overseas markets, helping to solve current challenges effectively.

Learning from Case Studies: Solving Challenges with In-House Manuals with Exercises
How to Create and Review Basic Work Manuals in Manufacturing Sites
will be held.
Recently, there has been an increasing demand for personnel who can immediately contribute in manufacturing sites, and a major challenge has become how to smoothly develop such talent. This demand is not limited to new graduates but has expanded to include a wide range of individuals, including seniors and foreigners.
Against this backdrop, the theme of "what constitutes a basic manual that everyone can understand" is being re-evaluated in manufacturing sites. In fact, many companies are addressing the themes of "skill transfer, operational efficiency, safety assurance, and cost reduction" through work manuals in manufacturing environments.
On the other hand, in workplaces where they are creating work manuals in-house while performing their original duties, they are facing unique challenges such as "not being able to find the time as they wish" and "not knowing where to start." Many companies seem to be troubled by the anxiety of "Is this really the right way to proceed?" due to a lack of reference information and success stories from other companies to solve these issues.
What is an effective approach? In this course, based on our 30 years of experience as a manual production company, we will propose methods to address various challenges faced in the manufacturing field.

Overview
This time, I will talk about the theme of 'Effective Methods for Identifying and Utilizing Indicators to Visualize Quality.' The content is understandable even for those who have not participated in past seminars. Please feel free to join us.
The time has come for a mass retirement of skilled engineers and developers,
How can we smoothly cultivate the next generation of talent?
"Can skill transfer be carried out smoothly?"
This issue continues to be a theme for companies.
In addition, many companies are working on creating systems to share technical documents on servers and to view them on portal sites as part of their knowledge management efforts.
One of the challenges in advancing these initiatives is determining "what metrics to use to visualize quality."
Generally, the quality of technical documents in companies is often treated as a personal preference, and I often hear that efforts are reset every time a person changes.
Is it possible to create something like a scorecard to share the target quality with stakeholders?
Due to a lack of reference information such as know-how for manual improvement and success stories from other companies, manual managers at each company are
Is this really the right approach?
How far should we be particular?
What are the tips for creating user-friendly manuals?
It seems that there are many things they are struggling with and working on.
In this seminar, we will explain our unique method for "visualizing quality" based on TC (Technical Communication), drawing on our 30 years of experience as a manual production company. This is essential content for considering approaches tailored to the needs of each company.
If you are looking for solutions to the challenges of overseas manuals for your company's manuals, please join us. After the seminar, we will be available for individual consultations as needed. Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.

Free Machine Translation Seminar on May 31, 2017 (Wednesday)
We will hold a seminar on "Support for the Introduction of Machine Translation to Realize Work Style Reform"!
To realize "work style reform," improving operational efficiency and productivity has become a major challenge for companies in various industries and sectors in Japan. In this context, as one of the initiatives for improving operational efficiency and productivity, the introduction of machine translation is also progressing in departments that create manuals and technical documents for domestic companies.
・We want to streamline the translation tasks that have been performed by in-house translators and improve productivity per person.
・I want to translate documents that have not been translated due to reasons such as short deadlines and large volumes.
・I want to spend time on higher value-added tasks instead of being overwhelmed by translation work.
We want to reduce costs and shorten lead times for translation work that is outsourced.
As a result of these needs, there is an increasing number of domestic companies introducing machine translation to improve and streamline their translation operations.
Recently, machine translation engines equipped with neural network mechanisms have emerged, attracting significant attention due to their dramatically improved translation accuracy. It has become quite feasible to reduce translation labor while maintaining the same quality as before. However, to effectively utilize machine translation and implement work style reforms, it is essential to conduct cost-effectiveness evaluations before implementation, design workflows, and build consensus among stakeholders.
In this seminar, we will explain how machine translation is being utilized in domestic companies and what steps should be taken to implement machine translation, aimed at representatives from companies considering the introduction of machine translation. We will introduce case studies of machine translation implementation in various companies. If you have considered implementing machine translation in the past but gave up midway, or if you have implemented it but were unable to achieve good results, please join us.
After the seminar, we will provide individual consultations as needed. Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.

Medical Translation Seminar on March 23, 2017 (Thursday)
"1st Session: Time Reduction and Cost Savings through the Introduction of Machine Translation! - Methods for Utilizing in Medical Translation" will be held.
This seminar is part of the 2nd session held on April 6, 2017 (Thursday) titled "Utilizing Technology in Financial Translation: A How-To Workshop with Case Studies of Major Pharmaceutical Companies' Annual Report Translations – IFRS Compliant."
I will discuss two topics that are attracting attention across the translation industry, focusing on the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Overview
Recently, as global simultaneous development and the introduction of the early application system impose even stricter time constraints, more companies are adopting machine translation to improve the efficiency of time and costs associated with translation. However, many people seem to think that utilizing machine translation for Japanese is difficult due to grammatical complexities. If the characteristics of machine translation are correctly understood and utilized, it can be sufficiently adapted to Japanese as well.
In this seminar, we will focus on translations in the medical and biochemical fields (clinical and non-clinical trial-related documents, medical device and analytical instrument manuals, academic papers, etc...).We will introduce the steps for implementing machine translation in the medical and biochemical fields, as well as the results of implementing machine translation for medical device and analytical instrument manufacturers.
We would also like to introduce the results of the quality evaluation tests for Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT), which has been a hot topic recently. You can check the differences in quality between traditional statistical-based engines across various fields such as paper abstracts, CIOMS, and manuals.
Target Audience (e.g.)
If you have any of the following challenges or concerns, please join us!
・I want to reduce the time required for translation.
・I want to review translation costs
・I am concerned about the translation status of other companies.
・How machine translation can be utilized in the medical and biochemical fields I want to know specifically.

Overview
This time, I will talk about the theme of "Determining the Level of Standardization."
This content is understandable even for those who have not participated in past seminars. Please feel free to join us.
With the globalization of the market, it has become urgent for companies in various industries and sectors to enhance their international competitiveness, and improving quality, increasing operational efficiency, and reducing costs have become the key challenges for businesses.
Additionally, we must address the challenges of how to smoothly cultivate the next generation of talent and how to ensure the transfer of skills, as we are facing a mass retirement of skilled engineers and developers.
On the other hand, due to the lack of information such as manual improvement know-how and success stories from other companies to solve these challenges, it seems that manual managers at various companies often struggle with questions like "Is this really the right approach?" "How much should I be particular about it?" "What are the tips for creating easy-to-use manuals?".
In this seminar, we will explain the method of "standardization" based on TC (Technical Communication), drawing on our 30 years of experience as a manual production company. This is essential content for considering approaches tailored to the needs of each company.
If you are a person in charge or an administrator struggling with the above, please join us! If you want to explore solutions to the challenges of your company's technical documentation, we encourage you to participate.
After the seminar, we will provide individual consultations as needed. Please check the "Request for Individual Consultation" box on the application form.
