SUMMARY:2020 December G3 Year End Wrap Up- Better Boss\, Better Business
DESCRIPTION: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. In addition to national responsibility\, many of our member CEOs have other countries in Asia as well as Australia/New Zealand reporting to them. Growth is about reflecting on management mistakes as well as building management successes. \nThe December CEO Insights meetings is one of the most popular and well attended meetings as executives get ready for the Christmas holidays and year’s end. This will be likely be your last chance to rub elbows with Asia’s top Tokyo-based CEOs and leadership.

SUMMARY:Understanding Company Life Cycles While Building Your Business

SUMMARY:The Future Of Luxury Goods. Accelerated - A Talk with Chopard Japan's Boss
DESCRIPTION:The virus fears of 2020 may be recorded in history as the most massive disruption to the retail business ever.  In particular\, luxury goods have felt the pain of the challenge for clients to get into the beautiful stores despite their prime locations.  It may have been tough\, but high-end luxury is timeless and most brands are here for years to come.  High quality goods will continue to be in high demand.  One key trend that significantly accelerated during the crisis is “Sustainable Luxury”.   \n\n\nChopard announced the “Journey to Sustainable Luxury” already in 2013\, when most people in the industry did not even know what sustainability is. Since 2019\, Chopard is the first brand to produce all its jewellery and watch creations with 100% ethical gold\, leading the industry into a new era of CSR.   \n\n\nMr. Thomas Dobeli\, President of Chopard Japan will be sharing his insights on the future of luxury.  Chopard is one of very few remaining independent and family owned global luxury brands.  Recently\, Thomas was invited to give guest lectures at Kyoto University’s MBA class as well as Hitotsubashi University ICS’s MBA class on this topic.  Thomas is a long time resident of Japan and is a native Swiss that brings his brand to life in Japan.  \n\n\nCome join CI for another fascinating topic and lunch meeting.   \n\n\nMore on our guest CEO Thomas Dobeli here. \n\n\n\n***This is a members-only event.  If you are a c-level and would like to visit\, please contact the CI admin team to check for available outside guest seats at the table for this event.

SUMMARY:2020 October G3- How Artificial Intelligence Changing Life and Business
DESCRIPTION: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 AI.  In the Oct CI luncheon\, we look to dispel some of the fog.  Stefan Sacre\, CEO of Carl Zeiss Japan\, investor\, and technologist will be giving an introduction starting with explaining some terms such as AI\, machine learning\, deep learning.  Mr. Sacre will also take us into the recent progress\, applications (some them mind-blowing!).  He will also reveal\, who are the real  “players” in the industry and what you can expect and what not to expect. \nJoin us for a fantastic lunch that feeds the mind and body with nothing artificial!

SUMMARY:Oct C28- Doing Digital- How To Get An Effective Digital Marketing Strategy
DESCRIPTION:So\, Japan is going digital.  That prompts us all to think of how we can do “digital” better.  When you say digital or digital marketing\, some think of buying keywords on a search engine or marketing site\, others think of social media campaigns\, yet others think of replacing the street signs and other physical promotions.  What exactly is digital marketing for your business?  \n\nIn the October CEO Insights luncheon\, will welcome public relations veteran Ross Rowbury.  He is a member of our CEO Insights (Tuesday) group and well-rooted in Japan with extensive experience in Asia working with many famous brands\, organizations\, and even governments.  Ross Rowbury will talk about some of the key questions around digital approaches to communications and marketing from his observations during his time at Edelman and seek to provide a couple of pointers and answers to how we can do it better.\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing our CEO Member network there!

SUMMARY:Sept C28 – Why The CEO Must Understand Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION: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. Japan is increasingly viewed as an inviting cybercrime target. Cyber security is important as a matter of national security\, but it is essential as well with respect to enterprises. Companies must better protect themselves from losses in IP (intellectual property)\, financial theft\, and trade secrets. If the CEO doesn’t grasp the basics\, how can the corporate team? \nCEO Insights luncheon welcomes Mr. Lorne Fetzek\, Area Vice President of Imperva Japan. Imperva is California-based next generation cyber security solutions provider that is expanding rapidly in Japan. Lorne will share his impressions and thoughts about: \n\nMacrotrends in cyber security\nClassic failures and why organizations get burned\nFuture threats and what bosses need to protect their businesses\n\nThere will be a short presentation to open the session followed by a discussion and Q&A.

SUMMARY:The Outlook Of Travel\, Tourism\, & Entertainment In a Virus-Fearing World
DESCRIPTION: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 daily infection counts\, cancellation of major events\, and nearly every company cutting all business travel.\n\nThe hotel business was hit particularly hard.  No travel equates to no guests both internationally as well as domestically.  Hotel operators and brands\, both large and small\, have had to take drastic measures to adjust to the sudden market changes.\n\nIn the September CI luncheon\, we are happy to hear the inside story from IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan and CI network member Mr. Hans Heijligers.  Hans will share his thoughts on travel\, tourism\, and entertainment businesses.  What they have done\, and where they are going.\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there! Please RSVP below.

SUMMARY:A Transformational Case Study - AbbVie Pharmaceutical
DESCRIPTION: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 would like to introduce the pharma perspective to the group. \nAbbVie is a leading global pharmaceutical company. Spun off from Abbott in 2013\, AbbVie`s flagship product\, Humira\, is the largest selling pharmaceutical product ever. AbbVie Japan has nearly 1500 employees and is the largest affiliate outside of the US\, with annual sales of over $1B. \nJames Feliciano has been the President of AbbVie Japan since 2016 and has led the organization through a 5-Year transformational project called “The 5-Year Focus”. Focusing on “Driving Growth” and “Employee Engagement”\, the organization has risen from #27 in 2016 for the Great Place to Work Employee Engagement Survey to #11 in 2020. During that same time\, the company has moved to a “Work Anytime\, Anywhere” culture supported with a new\, activity-based flexible office. Employee retention remains above 95%\, while the company`s Japan industry revenue ranking has jumped from #35 in 2016 to #20 in 2019. \nJames will share his experience of leading the 5-Year Focus in Japan\, insights that he has learned along the way around driving employee engagement and considerations for the post-Covid world. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the August CI luncheon.  Be sure to RSVP below.  Space is limited.

SUMMARY:Boots on the Ground Investing- A Conversation With A Seasoned Investor
DESCRIPTION: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 The Ground Investing”. \nRay Klein has lived in Tokyo continuously for the past 30 years.   He’s made a career of unusual investments and has direct experience in investment in private companies\, private debt\, asset based debt\, US and Japanese real estate\, bankruptcy investing\, solar development\, hotel management\, etc.\n\nNot every investment is suited for everyone.  Every individual has his profile forrisk vs reward.  The question is knowing all the risks.  Many investors don’t properly account for the risks associated with high debt and low liquidity.\n\nThe money is made in the buy!  The next two years should be interesting and filled with opportunity and trapdoors.  Join us for the August CI lunch.  We’ll talk about money\, YOUR MONEY.\n\nBring questions and be ready for an interactive discussion.

SUMMARY:July C28 - Blue Oceans- Experiential Marketing And eSports
DESCRIPTION:Experiential marketing is a marketing strategy component that engages current or potential customers through innovative\, immersive experiences. These experiences don’t just sell products—they facilitate a customer’s identification with a brand as a whole. Customers become loyal because they feel connected to that brand’s product\, messages\, aesthetic\, and values. Experiential marketing helps to make that connection. Plus\, experiential marketing is one of the best marketing techniques for boosting your business’s visibility—by which we mean these events\, pop-ups\, activities\, and installations are extremely social-media-worthy. \nAlso known as “engagement marketing\,” “participation marketing\,” “live marketing\,” and “event marketing\,” experiential marketing is often confused for “publicity stunts.” But experiential marketing strategy is exactly that—it’s a strategy\, and it requires a good amount of research and planning to pull off well. James will talk about his experience with brands such as Louis Vuitton\, Porsche\, Ferrari\, Tag Heuer and others and why every company should at least be considering how experiential marketing could work for them. \nIn the July CI Network luncheon\, we welcome James Fiorillo\, CEO of Excape Entertainment.  James started Excape originally providing an interactive motorsport experience worldwide for major brands. His firm has expanded and has created brand promotion concepts involving most types of sports\, extreme sports and extreme adventures on offer to major brands world-wide.

SUMMARY:[CANCELLED] May C28 - Why The CEO Must Understand Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION: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. Japan is increasingly viewed as an inviting cybercrime target. Cyber security is important as a matter of national security\, but it is essential as well with respect to enterprises. Companies must better protect themselves from losses in IP (intellectual property)\, financial theft\, and trade secrets. If the CEO doesn’t grasp the basics\, how can the corporate team? \nCEO Insights luncheon welcomes Mr. Lorne Fetzek\, Area Vice President of Imperva Japan. Imperva is California-based next generation cyber security solutions provider that is expanding rapidly in Japan. Mr. Fetzek will be joined by fellow technology leader and host Spencer Wolfe of AINEO Networks for an interactive discussion covering areas such as: \n\nMacrotrends in cyber security\nClassic failures and why organizations get burned\nFuture threats and what bosses need to protect their businesses The format of the event will be interview style with Q&A encouraged.

SUMMARY:[CANCELLED] May G3 - The Edelman Trust Barometer: Measuring Your Clients
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. This is somewhat counter intuitive given the image of the self-sacrificing\, all for the company image that is held about Japans salarymen. Ross will address this and other issues including what is behind the Trump phenomenon and rising populism in the world’s advanced economies. \nApril’s CEO Insights meeting will welcome Edelman’s Japan boss\, Mr. Ross Rowbury. Ross has been living and working in Japan for 35 years. Originally working in finance\, Ross moved to the public relations industry some twenty years ago. Over that period he has been advising executives from both Japanese and non-Japanese companies on communications strategy and implementation.

SUMMARY:March 26- 8AM - Showing Direction & Leadership During The Corona Threat
DESCRIPTION:Nearly every company we’ve dealt with is sending out position statements regarding corona virus that has spread around the world from Wuhan China.  Businesses in tourism\, airlines\, hospitality\, sporting events\, and even retail have been hammered by the social distancing.  When trouble comes\, that’s when you can see what people are made of.  It goes for the same for the CEO and the c-suite.  Unfortunately\, we didn’t learn in university or even business school about how to respond to terrorism\, natural disasters\, or even pandemics. \nThis special CEO Insights breakfast event will be a collaborative gathering of c-levels hosted by CI chairman Spencer Wolfe with presentations by Mr. Ross Rowbury of Edelman Japan. \nEdelman has produced a special edition of the Trust Barometer focusing on coronavirus communications. There are a lot of good datapoints in this. The overall conclusion is that employees are looking to business and their employer to provide high quality information and make the necessary workstyle changes. As always\, on some datapoints Japan differs from the rest of the world. \nWe will also pull in other members with special insights on dealing with the threat. \n**Please note the cost is just the breakfast and will be paid directly to the venue.

SUMMARY:March C28 - What You Can Learn From Higher Learning- A Visit From Harvard Business School
DESCRIPTION:In addition to years of experience\, many of the CEO Insights members have advanced degrees.  Education is an essential part of the business experience\, but it’s not always so useful before we’ve started our career.  How can executives and future leaders get experience that will help them make great decisions\, innovate\, and find new markets?  One answer to that question might be in continued education.  When you think of higher education\, Harvard University is one school that stands out. \nIn the March CI network lunch\, we will welcome Mr. Nobuo Sato.  Nobuo represents the Harvard Business School (HBS) Japan Research Center.  He will explain the role of HBS Regional Research Centers within a global context and how leadership education has evolved over the years. Since HBS is also famous for their case studies\, the lunch will be capped off with a case study. \nFor those who have time after the meeting\, we will make a short visit to the HBS Japan Research Center\, which happens to be two floors below our meeting venue. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the March CI Network Luncheon! \nMore on Mr. Nobuo Sato \nHarvard Business School (HBS) has named Nobuo Sato Executive Director of its Japan Research Center in Tokyo. A graduate of Keio University and Harvard Business School (MBA 1982)\, the former banker and executive recruiter officially assumed his duties in August 2009.

SUMMARY:Feb G3 - A Bird's Eye View- The Latest On The Tokyo Olympics
DESCRIPTION:The Olympic’s are returning to Tokyo.  After 4 years of hearing about the Olympics\, the year has finally arrived.  The last Olympics Tokyo saw were in 1964.  Japan made a lot of effort to build up for the Olympics with one of the main accompaniments many use every day being the Shuto expressway.  In 2019\, the World Cup Rugby tournament lit the fires to see more athletics with events around Japan and drawing millions of visitors to Japan from around the world.\n\nIn the February CEO Insights Tuesday lunch\, we will be talking about what we can expect to see in business\, transportation\, hospitality\, and the overall impact of the Olympics on Japan this time.  Visiting the lunch will be CEO of STH Hospitality Mr. Brendan Delahunty.  Mr. Delahunty was very involved in the Rugby World Cup as the leader of the Japan business.  He has the experience that can add to our insights on the impact of the Olympics in a group discussion.\n\nSports Travel & Hospitality Japan is the leading provider of sports hospitality and premium spectator experiences in Japan. STH was the exclusive provider of sports hospitality for Rugby World Cup 2019™ and previously operated the official in-venue hospitality program at the London 2012 Olympic Games.\n\n\nWe look forward to an interesting interaction in February as sports marketing and Olympics are of considerable interest amongst our network bosses.

DESCRIPTION:VENUE: Andaz Toranomon Hills\, The Tavern Grill and Lounge\n\nThe Japan market is a hot market.

SUMMARY:January G3 - Changing To Stay The Same: How Successful Brands Update Their Communication While Keeping Their Soul
DESCRIPTION:Come meet with and listen to Jean Henaff\, Semiotician and Marketing Consultant for Japanese and Western brands\, and former Marketing Research Director for L’Oréal Group in Asia. \nWhat is unique in a brand? How do we fight new competitors\, adapt to Japanese consumers and speak to digital natives without losing our “soul” and the unique values defining our brand\, that should be worldwide and timeless? Based on more than 20 years of experience in Japan and Asia in consumer goods\, Jean Henaff will show how all those issues can be understood\, clarified and solved by simple approaches exploring the generation of brand meaning and consumer culture. \nThe presentation will show how some Western and Japanese brands have successfully adapted their communication\, store architecture and merchandising to a radically different context while being able at the same time to strongly assert their unique values. \n\n\nAbout The Speaker\n\nJean Henaff is a consultant using extensively semiotic research tools to provide marketing advice to leading Western and Japanese companies in cosmetics\, luxury and food industries. He is a native French speaker and he is also fluent in English and Japanese. Japan-based clients make up 40% of his activities and he regularly works in cooperation with the Japanese consulting company Itochu Fashion System and Yumiko Yoshimizu. \nHe also previously worked in marketing research for L’Oréal Cosmetics in Asia and Europe. Jean is a graduate of the HEC School of Management (Paris) and of Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo) and holds a Master’s Degree in Semiotics.
