In 2018\, many c-levels are expecting continued growth as seen in the end of 2017. \nHow will external factors affect our enterprises in Japan and around Asia Pacific? How will all of these issues affect Japan\, now that it is finally starting to show strong growth and nascent signs of ending deflation? As always\, there is a mountain of debt looming in the background making markets nervous and increasing the system’s vulnerability to shocks…Is Abenomics finally going to have its day? \nIn the February CEO Insights\, we will discuss the economic and political issues coming down the road from the diverse businesses represented at the lunch. Be sure to join us as we compare notes with other c-levels in other industries. \nThe last 15 mins will be used to cover plans for upcoming topics and potential speakers.

We get caught up in the mindset that there just isn’t enough time to do everything we want in a single day. Yet 70% of the Fortune 500 CEOs exercise at least once a day\, while 50% do some form of meditation or quiet time. Understanding how our health impacts productivity is important\, as health and work can in fact go hand in hand. \nThis month\, we will once again be joined by long time Tokyo resident and entrepreneur Andy Morgan for a special meeting about you\, the CEO. Andy has years of experience coaching execs and entrepreneurs in his fitness business\, bringing the latest in health and fitness to the Japanese market from the West. He will be sharing practical tips and insight on how we can best look after our health and stay on top of business.

DESCRIPTION:These days\, many are singing the praises of blockchain technology for its potential to create efficiency across many industries. The most visible application of blockchain technology is the virtual currency Bitcoin\, which has often hit the news for rapid gains and losses in value. However\, there are in fact over 2\,000 other tokens and currencies based on distributed\, cryptographic technology. \nCollectively known as cryptocurrency\, this technology claims to fill roles and solve problems better than their preceding solutions. While there are only few experts on blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies\, we will be joined by Mr. Tony Evans and Mr. James Fiorello to discuss the following topics: \n• Basic overview of the blockchain\n• Blockchain technology’s capabilities and applications\n• Future prospects of blockchain \nLike the internet\, blockchain technology will not only change the way we do business\, but the way that we live our daily lives.

This is not advertising on a billboard or magazine – it is more of the digital nature. NTT Docomo’s c-level told us two years ago that more than 50% of their smartphone bandwidth is used by video consumption. Video is easy to produce and very quick to publish with today’s tools. It will also\, however\, help you sell more. \nMany know YouTube as a bottomless resource for just about any video where hundreds of hours of video are uploaded every minute. In fact\, people watch 1 billion hours of YouTube every single day. Yet many companies are also using YouTube as a powerful marketing tool\, as consumers and companies are now watching more videos than ever. \nIn January\, we welcome Craig Law-smith and Masanobu Nakamura from Google. We will discuss: \n• General overview of media market in Japan\n• Shift of consumers to mobile / digital and lag of industry\n• Case studies of companies using YouTube in Japan\n• Artificial intelligence/machine learning and influence on advertising \nExplore how your organization can better harness the power of video to reach more potential clients\, increase store visits\, or even target audiences. \nBe sure to confirm your attendance via Doodle.

DESCRIPTION:For foreigners\, visiting the bank can sometimes be compared to visiting the dentist.. painful. As the CEO\, we have our team from Japan and sometimes foreigners that have to have that banking relationship in order for us to pay them for bill payment\, money transfer\, or investment.. Discussing Japan banking has proven to be a topic of interest this year. In response\, we are pleased to invite Prestia Sales head from SMBC Trust Bank SMBC’s boss of Prestia Bank \, Mr. Dai Sugiyama. He will join us to share insights on personal banking in Japan. We plan to discuss the best way to engage the local banks\, how to adjust your investment strategy\, and doing international business without losing your shirt. \nCome join us for the Dec CI meeting.

Many individuals set regular exercise as their New Years resolution and usually fail in a few months into the year. CEOs don’t have the luxury of failure and keeping their jobs. Running a firm in the Japan is no easy task. Some CEOs additionally have to even cover this at the regional level. There are operational\, financial\, marketing\, and other issues that the CEO has to be constantly thinking about. CEOs must effectively use their resources or risk giving the reins of the enterprise to some new\, younger challenger.\n\n\n\nIn the December CEO Insights meeting we’ll be talking about Setting and Achieving Organizational Goals.

We get caught up in the mindset that we don’t have time. This is a mistake and it does not have to be this way. 70% of the Fortune 500 CEOs exercise at least once each day\, and 50% do some form of meditation or quiet time.\nThis is no coincidence. It doesn’t have to be a choice of work or health. The two can go together. \nLong time Tokyo resident\, and entrepreneur Andy Morgan will join us for a special meeting about you\, the CEO. Andy will drawing on his experience of coaching people over the last 6 years in his fitness business\, that brings the latest in health and fitness to the Japanese market from the West. Andy will share practical insights on how he has helped busy execs and entrepreneurs look after their health and stay on-top of business.

Educated in Sweden and the United States\, Bulhan has lived for 12 years in Japan. \nBulhan will elaborate on the current situation in Somalia and the historical underpinnings of why the situation today is so much in the news. He will tie into how the Japanese government sees the region\, the issue of piracy (and from where/how it emerged in the first place)\, Somalia’s precarious position geopolitically\, and why this impacts Japan’s role in the region. In doing so\, the following related issues are unavoidable: \n • The Middle East fueling tensions in the Horn of Africa: the Qatar / Yemen issue;\n • The background religious influence
\n • Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates increasing military influence in the region.
\n • The Iranian influence in the region \nThe September lunch will offer you a new perspective on the influence of politics\, business\, and religion in the ME and Africa; Somalia’s role is key to understanding this.

Those bases don’t end in Japan but are grounded throughout the Asia Pacific region. The bases are not just the political and government relationships that we read about in the news\, but also considerable business and processes associated with the military. In the Sept. CEO Insights lunch\, Mr. Scott Gold\, the boss of PAE in Japan\, will share his insights on the military bases and how they are related to so many other things in our businesses\, politics\, and society. \nScott Gold\nScott is an architect who has lived and worked in Japan for 20 of the last 35 years.

Although a great medium for expression\, Social Media can be dangerous as it greatly influences how we think\, behave and act. \nIn September\, Robert Heldt\, president and co-founder of Tokyo-based award-winning creative agency Custom Media\, will lead what promises to be an engaging and enlightening debate on the dangers of “nomophobia” (no-mobile-phone phobia)\, and share his insights on Social Media and its role in business.

In our generation\, we are seeing transformational changes in our work forces as well as working lives. The potential of a very long life\, more than 100 years old\, is approaching very fast and will become commonplace within a few years. In 1900 the average life expectancy in the US was 47 and today is 79 and increasing every year. \nThe arrival of a very long life will have significant implications for individuals\, employers and governments.\nAmong the key questions are: \n・　　How do we continue learning?\n・　　How do we change our current three stage life of education\, employment and retirement?\n・　　What will be the impact on families\, work and education \nThis month’s CI will be presented by Gerald Lema\, a C-Level executive with over 28 years of experience in major pharma and biotech companies. Currently\, Gerald is Managing Director of Cylon Capital\, a private investment firm investing in biotech\, FinTech and industrial technology.
