SUMMARY:2019 July G3 How Brands Can Stay Relevant In A Market Moving Towards Cynicism (Japan)
DESCRIPTION:2019 July (G3) How Brands Can Stay Relevant In A Market Moving Towards Cynicism (Japan) \n  \nOver the past decade\, the brand consultancy RISKYBRAND INC. has been taking the pulse of Japanese consumers through its annual nationwide surveys.  In this relatively short span of time\, they have witnessed subtle but significant changes in the Japanese’s attitudes\, beliefs and purchase behavior\, with an on-going shift towards what they call a ‘cynical mindset’. \n  \nUnderstanding what’s driving this shift will be fundamental to help brands maintain their appeal. In the July CI Network lunch\, RISKYBRAND CEO Mr. Kazuteru Tasaki will share on the major trends that are expected to affect the future of marketing in Japan and provide practical insights into what can make Japanese consumers tick in the age of cynicism. \n  \nDate – Tuesday\, 9 July 2019 1230PM-1400PM \nVenue – \nRoppongi Hills Club: Roppongi Hills Club- la cucina \n51 fl.

He founded RISKYBRAND in 2001 with Sony top designer Noriaki Kozuka. The agency’s proprietary research engine MINDVOICE®\, that gathers data across the values\, beliefs and lifestyle of the Japanese\, was born from Kazuteru’s strong belief in a more holistic approach to research that apprehends customers not only as consumers\, but as individuals\, revealing more meaningful layers of insight into what makes them tick. Today RISKYBRAND has evolved into a multi-cultural strategic branding agency that combines deep insights with the power of design to bring beautiful breakthrough to major domestic and international brands\, from Toyota to Hilton group. \n  \n-Born in a French-Japanese family\, Apolline Coat graduated from HEC Business School \n  \nin France. After working in various marketing roles between Paris and Tokyo including two years at Evian Japan\, she joined RISKYBRAND in January 2018 as a research and strategy planner.

DESCRIPTION:2019 May (C28) It’s  A Wrap- The Heisei Era- What Did Japan Accomplish? \nJapan is famous for its economic transformation from post-War devastation to one of the world’s top economic powers.  But how much progress did Japan really make after the ‘Bubble’ burst?  With the new Japanese emperor getting ready to ascend the throne of the land of the rising sun\, we can reflect on what actually happened during the time of his father\, otherwise known as Heisei. \n  \nIn the May meeting\, we are pleased to welcome Mr. Keiichiro Asao.  Mr. Asao started his career at the Industrial Bank of Japan (“IBJ”)\, which is now part of Mizuho Bank\, and was a member of the Diet (both the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors) for almost 20 years.  He will share his insights on what happened during Heisei\, where he sees Japan heading into the new Reiwa Era\, and brainstorm with the CI members about the future of Japan from both political and economic perspectives. \n  \nMore About Keiichiro Asao \nMr. Asao is not your typical Japanese politician\, he is a business professional with extensive political experience.  At one time\, he was the leader of a political party called Your Party (i.e. minna-no-tou)\, and is currently a member of the Liberal Democratic Party.  He is one of the rare top Japanese politicians who are fluent in English.  He received a law degree from the University of Tokyo and an MBA from Stanford University. \n  \nDate – Friday\, 10 May 2019  12:30-14:00 \nVenue – \nRoppongi Hills Club: Roppongi Hills Club- La Cucina (Italian) \n51 fl.

DESCRIPTION:The Edelman Trust Barometer\, the world’s largest survey of trust in institutions conducted in 28 countries shows that only 40% of Japanese employees trust the company they work for.

SUMMARY:2019 Feb C28 - Can the Corporation Really Change Its Culture?
DESCRIPTION:“Culture change” continues to be a buzzword in business. Many companies want it. Many invest huge energy into making it happen. Most fail. (According to various studies\, up to 90% of companies do not achieve the outcomes they set out for.) Why is culture change so elusive? Christopher Domitter\, currently Senior Vice President\, Communications at MetLife Japan\, has strong views on why this is the case based on his own experience across several industries and markets in Asia. Drawing from his background as head of a wide range of corporate communications disciplines including employee engagement\, sponsorship\, and CSR\, as well as a branding and identity consultant\, Christopher will lead and provoke interesting discussion around the dimensions of success and what constitutes global best practice.  Christopher is from Vancouver Canada. He has lived in Asia for close to 25 years\, including Japan\, Korea\, Hong Kong\, and Malaysia\, working in the sports\, banking\, pharma and insurance sectors. He has developed brand positioning and verbal identity strategies for famous brands such as Nikon and Nissan. He is a top-notch analog photographer\, a discipline (among others) that informs his understanding of design thinking – a mindset that underpins much of his approach to solving communications challenges. \nDate – Friday\, 8 Feb 2019 1230PM-1400PM\nVenue –\nRoppongi Hills Club: Roppongi Hills Club- La Cucina Restaurant\n51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower\,\n6-10-1 Roppongi\, Minato-ku\,\nTokyo\, 106-6151 Japan

SUMMARY:2019 Restart (C28)- Getting A Head Start And Winning
DESCRIPTION:January brings many new thoughts and resolutions.  Gyms are crowded with business people trying to get healthy for the first month or so of the year.  As the CEO\, we don’t have the luxury of ‘letting our guard down’ in business.  We must be thinking and anticipating what market forces will do for our brand\, what products will blow out\, and what products or services to put on the back burner. \nIn the first CEO Insights Network luncheon of the year\, we will have to take a look at what we expect to see in 2019.  Specifically\, we will discuss three areas \n\nEconomic- Will we have boom or bust? What are customers looking for? Where will the USD\, JPY\, EURO head?\nPolitical- What will the government be doing that may affect our staffing\, our taxation\, our operations costs?  Is there any PC (political correctness) initiative that may hit?\nPersonal- How do you deal with the head office?  What are the growth areas for investments in the new year?  How can I be more productive personally?\n\nYou will leave the CI meeting enlightened\, and no doubt inspired. \n  \n\n\nDate– Friday\, 11 Jan 2019 1230PM-1400PM\nVenue–\nRoppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- La Cucina Restaurant\n51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower\,\n6-10-1 Roppongi\, Minato-ku\,\nTokyo\, 106-6151 Japan \nP.S. In the closing moments of the meeting\, we will be discussing planned speakers/topics in 2019 discussed thus far.

SUMMARY:2018 Oct G3 - "Making Your Company The Greatest Show On Earth"
DESCRIPTION:Having a great place to work is something people are proud of. From entry-level employee to c-level\, people tend to stay longer at companies that make them comfortable.  Recently\, there are many trends.  Some companies have gone to the open office plan with no private offices.  Others have slimmed down regional offices and put regional headquarters in Singapore or Hong Kong.  Finally some companies have now moved to co-working spaces to increase flexibility\, attract young talent and comply with millennials’ expectations. \n  \nIn the Oct\, we will welcome our own Ci Member Mr. Laurent Jacquemin\, MD of AXA IM Real Assets for APAC.  He will share his insights on the evolving working environment.  Laurent moved his organization to Japan from Singapore in early 2018.  The meeting will be moderated by Edelman’s Japan boss Mr. Ross Rowbury. \nDate: 9 Oct 2018 (Tuesday)\nTime: 12:30pm to 2:00pm\nVenue: Roppongi Hills Club – La Cucina\n51F Roppongi Hills Mori Tower\, 6-10-1 Roppongi Minato-ku\, 106-6151
