AI governance in practice

How leadership teams govern AI responsibly – selected mandates and proof-of-concept projects.

Case study · Japan

Discoveries Inc., Tokyo

Discoveries Inc. (Tokyo) is a Japanese IT company that develops AI agents.

Starting point

Discoveries had set out as an “AX company” to anchor AI not only technologically but as a leadership task.

Approach

Two workshops with the CEO and the change manager, followed by a dedicated workshop with the Discoveries management team, working with SOTRAI on the decisive leadership questions.

Outcome

The leadership team anchored accountability as the core of its AI transformation, with the clear insight that governance rules must be reviewed continuously as technology and business evolve.

“As a business leader actually driving AI transformation in my own company, the scenarios discussed reflected my current reality. This experience reinforced my hypothesis that we may need to fundamentally redesign not only organisational structures, but also business processes and evaluation systems.” Yuichiro Shimada, CEO & Founder, Discoveries Inc. (Tokyo) · AI Governance & Leadership Workshop, University of Tokyo, May 2026
