In our invaluable c-level group meetings, we talk a lot about human resources, building our brands, and many other topics. One area we need to cover more is regarding how to make money with our money. Maybe corporate, but more so personal investing. In the August CEO Insights meeting, we will talk about "Boot's On […]
Sickness and health issues have been in front of us for months now. Working styles have changed over the course of the year as people have gone to WFH, staff rotations, and cutting of central business district office footprints. We've heard a lot from various industries through CEO Insights, but in the August meeting, we […]
With rapid expansion of the economy and hotels being built and expanded around the world, no one would have guessed back in January 2020 what devastation the Wuhan Corona COVID-19 virus fears would have on the travel, entertainment, and the hospitality industries. What was growing and expanding rapidly was suddenly stopped in its tracks by […]
Japan is a great place be both professionally and personally. The 22 million tourists who’ve visited Japan in 2018 illustrate that global interest. There is another side to having a high profile among nations and particularly in light of Japan’s challenged strategic environment in North Asia.

AI seems to be the battle cry of executives looking to cut staffing costs or increase revenues. You hear discussions in trade shows, boardrooms and offices around the world. The concept of Artificial Intelligence is a bit hazy for some. Both those professing to know it, as well as those who think they are using […]
The virus fears of 2020 may be recorded in history as the most massive disruption to the retail business ever.

As yet another year closes, many executive offices are reviewing what worked and what didn’t, what sold and what didn’t, what blew up and what overflowed.
