A Great Week At CEO Insights- Understanding market trust and the science of the vessel

We had a great week at CEO Insights.  We started out the week in one of our lunches with Ross Rowbury, Japan CEO of Edelman sharing on the polarization of trust and how it affects your clients.  The opening icebreaker was about tips and tricks on travel (airlines and hotels).  The 15 minute introduction went on for 40 minutes before we steered the meeting to the topic at hand.  Ross masterfully presented the results of Edelman’s recent Trust Barometer and chaired a very healthy discussion.
Wine Glass Tasting- Not What You Thought
On Friday, Riedel hosted our anticipated ‘Wine Glass Tasting’ event.  Some CEOs thought that it must be some marketing fluff but quickly discovered the physics, science, and technology behind enjoying your food and drink.  Even our non-drinking CEOs enjoyed the event at the Riedel Aoyama showroom where Japan CEO popped a lot of bubbles of misconception, and impressed the crowd of CEOs gathered.  It was an excellent evening for food, drink, and building relationships amongst the exceptional members of the CI Network and our guests.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next month’s CI meetings.

CEO Insights- View From The Top Oct 2017

 September was a very enlightening month at CEO Insights.  In our lunches, we gained a lot.
  • In the G3 lunch; we discussed the addictive behavior of the digital economy with digital and publishing firm CEO of Custom Media. We saw how companies use software design to bring their clients into a more interactive experience and get them to come back. We also took a short test to determine the level of our own internet addiction.
  • In the C20, our icebreaker was so compelling we spent 30 minutes on it (topic, of course, off the record). Then CEOs found the incredible depth and size of the US bases in Japan and the entirely separate ecosystem of business and influence through the PAE CEO.
  • In the C8 lunch, we were joined by the Somali Ambassador to Japan. We’ve heard of the movies “Black Hawk Down” and “Captain Phillips”, but much like the fake and biased news of CNN and other news media recently, the images of piracy and lawlessness are very misunderstood. No one would have guessed illegal fishing and dumping of raw nuclear waste were a part of the story.  Great work to our GR CEO!
A very insightful CI set of lunches was capped off with our second annual SS BBQ. Bosses from many nations enjoyed the cool autumn evening on our private rooftop BBQ as we enjoyed the lights and some excellent American style cooking.
In addition to upcoming Oct lunches we will have special sessions available to all members (space available basis)
