SUMMARY:2019 May (C28) It’s  A Wrap- The Heisei Era- What Did Japan Accomplish?
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.

SUMMARY:2019 Apr C28: Locked & Loaded – The Long Arm of the Law in Japan\, Taiwan\, and the Republic of Korea (ROK)
DESCRIPTION:The recent 108 days incarceration of Carlos Ghosn has raised many passion debates and questions of Japan’s law enforcement: “how it is done and what CAN and CANNOT be done.” \nIn our April luncheon\, we are fortunate to have Mr. James Moynihan join us\, an expert on law enforcement and intellectual property (IP)\, to answer that very question. \nMr. Moynihan\, currently the Director of Louis Vuitton Intellectual Property Department/Japan office (since 2007)\, has been in Japan a total of 25 years on five separate tours. His first tour dates back to 1971-1972 at Sophia University/University of Notre Dame Year-In-Japan Program. As the FBI Special Agent/Attorney from 1981 to 2006\, New York State Prosecutor from 1979 to 1981\, and General Motors Corporation Labor Lawyer from 1977 to 1979\, Mr. Moynihan has accumulated a wealth of knowledge\, expertise\, and case history. \nIn addition to discussing law enforcement (i.e. criminal procedure law\, extraditions\, deportation\, evidentiary assistance matters\, etc.) Mr. Moynihan is happy to discuss and/or field any question on: Asian organized crime\, international terrorism investigations\, Japan Red Army investigations\, development and use of informant/confidential sources of information; security measures for special events such as the 2019 Japan Rugby World Cup or 2020 Tokyo Olympics; or about intellectual property (IP) enforcement from an IP right holder’s perspective. \nYou will not want to miss this one! \nDate – Friday\, 12 April 2019 1230PM-1400PM\nVenue –\nRoppongi Hills Club: Roppongi Hills Club- La Cucina (Italian)\n51 fl.

SUMMARY:2019 Mar 12 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. \nMarch’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. \nDate– Tuesday\, 12 March 1230PM-1400PM\nVenue–\nRoppongi Hills Club- Private Dining Room – The Horizon Room\n51 fl.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:2018 July C28 – 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). \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. \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. \nRoss Rowbury\, President of Edelman Japan will present on “The Polarization of Trust” and what it means for you and your clients.“
