DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO MAY 19th.  THERE WILL BE NO EVENT ON 21 APRIL \nEvery c-level struggles with developing great teams and leaders.  Often times\, a manager’s preferred leadership style is not always correct and that can result in retention issues or worse\, disengaged staff. \nIn the April CI luncheon we will welcome HR executive\, Ken Cogger\, who will introduce you to how he uses situational leadership in his organization in Japan and in the global offices.  Situational Leadership is a framework in which difference in proficiency is regarded as difference in situation and an approach corresponding to the difference will enhance the manager’s effectiveness. \nThe framework was developed back in 1969 by Ken Blanchard to build a stronger\, more flexible organization at a time when most companies were run with only one style. \nSituational leaders can \n\navoid over-supervision and under-supervision\nimprove engagement\nincrease productivity\nbeat ambiguity and uncertainty\n\nEnjoy this opportunity to learn how to better your staff from a new perspective.

SUMMARY:Industry In Upheaval- The Future Of The Global Automotive Market
DESCRIPTION:The global auto industry stands on the brink of unprecedented change and upheaval. From the challenges of electrification and autonomous driving to the arrival of interloping upstarts from Silicon Valley and China\, the global car business is undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation. Unprecedented sums of money are being invested on future technologies as automakers – old and new – race to make inroads into uncharted territory\, banking on a future that is anything but guaranteed. What bets will pay off? Which automakers will survive the fight? And what will cars look like in the decades to come? In an age of uncertainty\, the only inevitability is that there will be winners and losers. \nHans Greimel\, Asia Editor for Automotive News\, will discuss these topics and more\, from his perch in Tokyo where he has covered Japanese automakers and their Asian rivals since 2007. Hans recently co-authored a book about the Nissan-Carlos Ghosn scandal\, “Collision Course\, Carlos Ghosn and the Culture Wars that Upended an Auto Empire\,” published in June 2021 by Harvard Business Review Press. Detroit-based  Automotive News was founded in 1925. It is the leading source of automotive news and the newspaper of record for the global industry.

SUMMARY:2022 Jan (Thur) The Metaverse: Who\, When\, How\, and Why?
DESCRIPTION:What is the Metaverse? Why did such a massive entity like Facebook make the risky move of rebranding itself META? \nUnderstanding the metaverse is complicated\, especially because it doesn’t exist yet. Although interoperability is a long way off\, the term has become a catch-all for new digital\, immersive\, and social spaces encompassing gaming platforms\, NFTs\, VR\, AR\, cryptocurrencies and online marketplaces. \nSome very big companies are putting big money into this space\, and money tends to make things happen. \nLet’s talk about which companies are likely to be the major players? Will efforts to create a unified metaverse or a multi-verse configuration likely succeed? \nHow other companies can get involved in a commercial sense? \nWhat will be the dominant technology VR or AR? How will NFTs\, cryptocurrencies and blockchain be involved? \nIt may be fun to explore how each of the members feels about living in a virtual world versus the real world. It seems different age groups feel differently about this. \nDon’t miss this interactive session led by Excape Entertainment CEO Mr. James Fiorillo

SUMMARY:2021 Aug (Thu)- 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:2021 Aug (Tues) - Building A New Business With OLD Buildings
DESCRIPTION:As a network of able CEOs\, both younger and older\, we always enjoy hearing about other people’s businesses. We’ve enjoyed discussions with major software global CEOs\, global retailers\, local robot manufacturers\, and countless other dives into various businesses. \nFor some reason\, the English media has a news cycle that restarts every year or so about the millions of vacant or abandoned properties around the nation. Some say for as little as ¥50\,000 JPY ($500 USD). Many times associated with population decline or the move from the smaller towns and cities to the major metro areas such as Osaka\, Tokyo\, or Fukuoka\, vacant properties seem to be a major problem for municipalities around the country. But our friends at Akiya & Inaka see it differently. \nIn the August CI Network luncheon we will welcome Matthew Ketchum\, Co-Founder\, Akiya & Inaka.  Matthew will share how he and his business partner created an alternative real estate business model that turns a perceived problem into practical opportunity.  \nThe accepted akiya narrative posits that Japan’s vacant buildings are categorically condemnable for all but the most committed DIY hobbyists and irredeemably rural\, but Akiya & Inaka have proven that this is not the case. $500 or $500\,000 or more\, there are akiya of all types at all levels of viability\, and they’re being used for more than just vacation homes or bed & breakfasts. Join us for this fascinating discussion that gives us the real deal on what the story on the ground is. Who knows? You may even come out of it with a new property. \nMore about Matthew Ketchum here on Linkedin\, with his company website here.

SUMMARY:2021 July (Tues) The Future Of Work\, Management\, And Motivation- A Discussion With Audio Giant JABRA
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year\, both inside and outside of the CI network business leaders have discussed the future of work.  The larger companies have predicted a complete move to WFH (work from home)\, while medium-sized businesses have questioned the productivity of the team.  For employees\, eliminating the commute cuts an hour or two of transport out of their day. However\, the loss of in-person collaboration seems to have an effect on productivity.  What’s the real story on the ground? \nIn July’s CI network luncheon we will welcome Danish audio manufacturer Jabra’s boss Mr. Yasushi Ando. Mr. Ando will share how Jabra sees the market as work from home generated incredible demand for Jabra products for both personal and corporates.  He will also give us insights on how companies are changing\, as well as how they actually keep doing the same thing. \nNetwork Members– Please RSVP below if you would like to participate.  Guests– Please contact us via our contact form if you would like us to check about getting a spot at the table. \nMore about Mr. Ando here on L-in

SUMMARY:An Inside View of Japan's New Digital Agency
DESCRIPTION:The novel coronavirus pandemic has exposed long-acknowledged shortfalls in some critical government administrative services and highlighted how much Japan must do to address its lag in digitization. To that end\, the government in February approved bills to promote digitization and establish a Digital Agency in September. Coordinating\, integrating and standardizing a unique digital framework to boost the quality of public services is a key policy of the Suga administration. In line with this\, the government also wants to enhance Japan’s attractiveness as a digital infrastructure hub. \nTogether\, we will explore current discussions in the Diet\, the challenges ahead\, and which industries are likely to be affected by the government’s digitization push. We will also examine how much Japan’s digital transformation has progressed\, and whether the government can finally succeed in digitizing its complex administration as an example for the rest of society. Please join us for this timely discussion on digital policy in the post-corona era. \nThis CEO Insights lunch on April 15th will be moderated by seasoned government relations expert Timothy Langley. Mr. Langley is founder and CEO of Langley Esquire\, Tokyo’s premier public affairs consulting firm dedicated to resolving issues in Japan’s unique regulatory environment.

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.
