Company-wide employee use of generative AI, supported by a generative AI salon
Cybozu reached 79% employee AI use and saw rule questions rise from 43 to 159 as it built shared AI support
Problem
Departments at the Japanese software maker differed in their motivation to use generative AI. Legal and rule-making teams had trouble keeping up with new tools and services.
Approach
Cybozu wrote safety rules and guidelines, which it revised many times from user feedback. It set up a generative AI committee and a salon where AI promoters and rule-making departments shared news, initiatives and problems. A support team worked with each division on request. The HR division collected 70 ideas, narrowed them to 8 themes and ran each for one month.
Results
Takeaway
Rising consultation counts show that wider use brought more questions on rules and technique. Cybozu treated named contacts and shared channels as part of the rollout.
