SUMMARY:2018 June C28 - Outsourcing Solutions to Enable Advanced Business Performance
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard the phrase: “If you want to do something right\, you have to do it yourself.” It’s very easy to understand the idea that the best person to do the job is yourself. However\, as business grows\, good leaders must understand where to focus and where to pull in outside help. In our June CI\, we will be talking with Bruce Darrington and getting his insights on making the most of outside resources. Bruce has experience building businesses around APAC that will make for a great exchange. \nBruce has had a wide experience of building up businesses in the financial area across Asia and more recently in the Professional Accounting business. On selling his own accounting practice 9 years ago in Thailand to Mazars (the only global partnership in the Professional Audit/Tax/Accounting area of business)\, he then moved to Japan 8 years ago to head up and grow Mazars practice from the handful of people that existed at the time. During the past 8 years\, the biggest growth for Mazars business has come from providing outsourced solutions for international companies; Bruce now devotes his time to building this business line where he feels that Mazars already has some significant market leadership. \nDrawing from his experiences\, Bruce will be presenting an interactive session on “Outsourcing Solutions to Enable Advanced Business Performance”.

SUMMARY:2018 June G3 - The Polarization of Trust” and what it means for you and your clients. “
DESCRIPTION:“In modern society\, we delegate important aspects of our well-being to the four institutions of business (economic well-being)\, government (national security and public policy)\, media (information and knowledge) and NGOs (social causes and issues). \n\nIn order to feel safe delegating important aspects of our lives and well-being to others\, we need to trust them to act with integrity and with our best interests in mind. Trust\, therefore\, is at the heart of an individual’s relationship with an institution and\, by association\, its leadership. \n\nIf trust in these institutions diminishes\, we begin to fear that we are no longer in safe\, reliable hands. Without trust\, the fabric of society can unravel to the detriment of all. \n\nRoss Rowbury\, President of Edelman Japan will present on “The Polarization of Trust” and what it means for you and your clients. “

SUMMARY:2018 April C28 - Understanding the NPO And Motivating Your Team Through CSR And Community
DESCRIPTION:Non-profit organizations and volunteering is a common thing in many western nations. For Japan\, the concept and understanding of doing volunteering to do something\, giving finances towards helping others\, and community service have a different understanding. However\, companies that understand the effectiveness of team building toward reaching corporate goals have many times accelerated past their competition. \nIn the April CI meeting we will have a very special guest who has done more than built an influential organization. We’ll have Charles McJilton founder of Second Harvest sharing insights on CSR\, how other companies are building their brand by helping others\, and new concepts on how to contribute but actually receive funds back through their giving also known as Social Impact Bonds. \nLooking forward to meeting you at the interactive CI lunch! \nAbout Our Guest-\nCharles McJilton has been pioneering food banking in Japan for more than 18 years. He has a unique approach and philosophy based on on his more than 25 years involvement with those in need and his 15 months living in cardboard box alongside the Sumida River (January 1997- April 1998). He strongly believes that business practices can be used to improve the effectiveness of nonprofits. As the CEO and founder of Second Harvest Japan he is leading the development of a food safety-net for Tokyo to support 100\,000 people by 2020. To fund this ambitious project he is promoting social impact bonds. During time with him he will share his philosophy and approach along with how social impact bonds are an innovative way to fund social change.

SUMMARY:2018 Feb G3 - The Business Outlook 2018: What External Factors To Watch
DESCRIPTION:2017 brought us much news of the elected US President and more than what we wanted to hear about Brexit. 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.

SUMMARY:2018 Feb C28 - Staying Fit and Healthy as a Busy CEO
DESCRIPTION:As busy CEOs\, there are times when we choose to prioritize our work over maintaining our physical and mental health. 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.

SUMMARY:2018 Jan C28 - How Will Cryptocurrency Change 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.

SUMMARY:2018 Jan G3 - Getting YouTube to Help With Your Marketing
DESCRIPTION:CEO Insights kicks off the New Year with a dive into marketing. 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.

SUMMARY:2017 Oct G3- Practical Tips For Busy CEOs on Staying Mentally and Physically Healthy

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.

SUMMARY:2017 Sep C8 - The Future Of Africa and ME\, From The Eyes Of An Ambassador
DESCRIPTION:In our upcoming Sept CI meeting\, we have secured special guest Bulhan Hersi to join us.  \nBulhan is essentially Ambassador without portfolio for the Federal Republic of Somalia. 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.
