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: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.

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?

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.

SUMMARY:2019 Sep (G3) Case Studies On Collaborating As Teams  And The Microsoft Vision
DESCRIPTION:The way in which organizations work has evolved. There are several trends that we’re seeing regarding teamwork\, even in Japan. \nDiverse and global \nTeams are becoming more diverse. In today’s work environment\, teams are often comprised of people in different buildings\, time zones\, or even different companies. For the first time\, there are five generations in the workplace—all with different background and expectations about collaboration tools. For example\, some are comfortable chatting on a phone\, others prefer e-mail\, or face to face. How is work evolving?\n \nTeam-based and collaborative \nThere is also a movement towards transparency and inclusivity in how decisions are made. Organization structures are becoming more flat which results in people being on more—often cross-organizational—teams. And those teams are dynamic. It’s rare that people don’t change on a multi-month project. And when they leave\, the first step is for all to go through their e-mail to find the information needed to get the new person up to speed. Being on more teams has also led to a dramatic increase in the amount of collaboration. The new way of work is team-based and collaborative. Workers report that 80% of their time at work is spent collaborating (i.e. in meetings\, calls). \nGlobal Teams are increasingly geo distributed. Employees are no longer in the same office\, let alone time zone. Per IDC\, 72.3% of employees will be working remotely by 2020\, making it more challenging to have face-to-face conversations. \nFor many employees\, this has made collaboration more challenging. It’s hard to maintain open dialogue when teammates are distributed. It’s complicated to manage the volume of information. It’s difficult to attend every meeting.All these challenges hinder teamwork and productivity. We’ll look at how some global enterprises have tackled the issue with technology\, specifically Microsoft Teams. \nJoin us for a insightful discussion at the September CI luncheon with Alice Graham.  Alice is Assistant General Counsel\, Corporate\, External\, and Legal Affairs (CELA) Microsoft Japan\, Co.\, Ltd.  Alice heads up the external relations department and has very interesting experience on both the legal and political sides of business. \nPLEASE RSVP BELOW TO CONFIRM YOUR PLACE \n** CI does not collect payments on this website for lunches.  Please note that you will settle your lunch order payment with venue directly. \nMore On Alice Graham \nAlice Graham is seasoned inhouse legal department leader with over 20 years of experience\, working with industry leading companies and currently employed by Microsoft Japan Co.\, Ltd. where she leads an experienced team of legal\, government affairs\, philanthropy and digital crime professionals. She graduated from the University of Florida School of Law with honors and has spent most of her career in the technology industry.  After 12 plus years in Microsoft Corporation (Redmond) helping to deliver Windows to millions of users around the world\, she is passionate about leveraging that knowledge to drive digital transformation in Japan and make a difference in the lives of all Japanese.

SUMMARY:2017 Apr G3 - Telsa\, Disrupting Distribution With A Direct Retail Approach
DESCRIPTION:Many people think of Henry Ford when we think of automobiles and their invention.  However\, self propelled vehicles have been around in various forms since the 1800s.  We saw steam\, electric\, and petroleum powered vehicles.  Various electric cars concepts have been around\, yet without breaking the monopoly of fossil fuel powered engines. Combustion based engines have dominated and networks of dealers as well as services has been around them.  Things have finally started to change. \nTesla came to market with high-performance battery based vehicles and has not only challenged the automotive dealer models but also gotten into the core software architecture as well as energy infrastructure area.  In this month’s CEO Insights join us as we hear from Tesla’s VP of North & SE Asia.  We welcome Mr. Nicolas Villeger who will share his insights on how Tesla is completely changing the way people think about automobile purchase and ownership.  Mr. Villeger is no stranger to brands\, he joined Tesla after a successful career at Coach\, Longchamp\, and Estee Lauder.

SUMMARY:2016 Nov G3 – Power Hitting- What Do I Need To Do For Explosive Growth?
DESCRIPTION:It’s rare that the CEO gets a chance to compare notes with other c-levels in their industry or even other businesses both greater and smaller.  The CEO needs to be the visionary that sets the tone for the whole team.  Any CEO that says she or he has no internal issues is usually hiding something.  The power CEO identifies the issues and figures out a way to do things better. \nAs we bring 2016 to a close\, we will take advantage of the experience and mental power in the CI meeting.  Our focus will be on what the CEO needs to do for planning the future of the firm.  We plan to discuss\n•	How to set and implement realistic budgets\n•	Setting corporate sales\, service\, and production targets\n•	The big R- Resources\, Resources\, Resources! \nAlthough\, we will focus on planning. Other areas that may up are executive privilege\, making the most of real estate\, and corporate security. \nLooking forward to seeing you at CI as we plan for explosive growth!

SUMMARY:2016 Nov C20 – The Champion- Keeping It All Together\, When Other CEOs Fail
DESCRIPTION:When the earthquake\, tsunamis\, and nuclear meltdowns of 2011 hit Japan the leadership skills of the CEO were evident.  Great leadership led while weak leadership buckled and bailed.  Life is waves of ups and downs\, but it is possible to have more high points than disasters.  Being prepared for natural disasters\, regulatory changes\, human resource challenges\, cyber attacks\, corporate espionage and nearly anything that can come at us is mostly about being ready. Readiness comes because we’ve given thought to an area of our business.  As the CEO\, we are expected to lead our companies into success. \nIn the November CEO Insights meeting\, bosses will have the chance to hear about issues that other businesses have had and how the CEO was able to keep it together.  We’ll be covering HR\, technology\, logistic\, legal\, and other challenges in this interactive exchange.

SUMMARY:2016 Nov C8 – Riding The Constant Wave Of Business Change
DESCRIPTION:Things no longer flow as they used to.  Just one look at politics around the world will shows the CEO can’t just do business as usual.  Businesses are no longer built on R&D\, sales\, and production.  Successful companies of our generation take an idea that simplifies life for people and are able to turn that into a business that can make money.  In many cases a business idea may not make any money at all\, but draw in investment from people who have bought on to the idea itself.  CEOs cannot be asleep at the wheel\, we must always be moving because what sells today could be easily take over tomorrow by someone with a great idea working out of a garage.  Once a company gets mass and momentum\, there is more infrastructure and team that needs to be supported. Innovation is essential to the longevity of that company\, but innovation is a moving target.     \nRather than being clobbered by the weight of change and business waves\, the November CEO Insights lunch CEOs will be talking about how to ride the wave of business change and innovation.  Some of the planned topics to be covered will be\n-Communicating with the team\n-Finding the next business that harmonies with your strengths\n-Protecting your innovation\n-Knowing when to invest and when to cut your losses \nThis interactive CEO lunch will bring together top business insights to help you ride the wave of change.

SUMMARY:2016 Oct G3 - Internet of Things: A New Era Begins
DESCRIPTION:Years ago\, we heard the term multimedia for nearly everything.  It was a buzzword that has disappeared but using multiple media in presenting\, entertainment\, teaching\, and other areas is here to stay.  Recently\, we hear a lot about the Internet of Things or IoT.  The concept that all these devices will interconnect via the network.   Although\, the term IoT may or may not be with us 10 years from now.  The interconnection of devices is definitely here to stay. \nThe combination of artificial intelligence (AI)\, the cloud and IoT means that systems of machines will be able to interact with human beings\, learn about them and better adapt to their needs. How these new cyber-physical systems are transforming human behavior and companies’ business models is the topic of the C3 meeting of October. CI is pleased to welcome Mr. Amit Ranjan\, EY Advisory Innovation and Digital Business Leader in Japan.  Mr. Ranjan will share on successful implementations of IoT in different fields and industries.  The discussion will be open and give CI members a chance to share views and opinions on the role of top management to instill innovation in the organizations and drive the technological change towards to new frontiers.        \nMore On Mr. Ranjan-\nAmit Ranjan has been working for 17 years in Japan with an extensive experience in the Techno-Functional environment in big organizations and currently a partner at Ernst and Young Japan.  He has recently been a speaker at the CEATEC 2016 Conference in Tokyo.

SUMMARY:2016 Oct C8 - Developing & Running a Manufacturing JV Business in China
DESCRIPTION:CEO Insights meetings provide a lot of knowledge to c-levels running a business in the major trading centers in Asia such as Japan\, Singapore\, Hong Kong and various other countries. Many of our firms manufacture in China but we don’t go into too much detail about doing business in China.

In October\, CI members will get a chance to dive into China.. without going there.  CI welcomes a c-level that has spent several years doing business in China. Mr. Daniel Onaggowinarso  \nMr. Onaggowinarso will be sharing with us his insights on the benefits and challenges of running a Sino-German Joint Venture Operation and the cultural and economic challenges of succeeding in the current and future Chinese Market for foreign companies.

SUMMARY:2016 Sept C20 - How the Best Companies are Using Advocacy and GR in Japan
DESCRIPTION:The past 30 years has seen a sea change in the willingness\, some would say eagerness\, of foreign firms in Japan to engage external stakeholders\, including government officials and politicians and their staff. Indeed\, senior executives in many foreign firms in Japan now see GR as a key element of their business strategy in Japan. The GR space represent a significant shift\, it remains to be seen how the Japanese side views the increasingly proactive\, high-profile\, and “impactful” approach to influence their decision making. \nIn the August CI lunch we will welcome Keith Henry\, a 30 year Japan veteran. Keith began his career in Japan as an aide to a member of the Diet\, then as an aide to both the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Environment. After 5 years with a management consulting firm in Tokyo\, he established Asia Strategy where he pioneered the establishment of government relations as a profession in Japan. Keith has great client relationships and is very open about what his firm is doing. His clients have included financial services and banking (UBS\, Goldman Sachs\, Morgan Stanley\, Manulife\, Genworth)\, ICT (Dell\, HPE\, Vodafone\, eBay)\, healthcare (Pfizer\, PhRMA\, EFPIA\, Bayer\, GSK)\, consumer goods and services (Wynn Resort\, Wal-Mart\, Philip Morris\, UPS)\, manufacturing (GE\, United Technologies\, Embraer Aerospace)\, alternative investment funds (TCI\, Elliott Advisors\, Caxton Advisors\, Perry Capital)\, among others. \nJoin us for an insightful lunch on what companies are doing into Japan to work better with our government.

SUMMARY:2016 August C8- Is It Too Late For Casinos And The Gaming Industry In Japan?
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, once again\, Japan’s LDP decided not to seek passage of a bill to legalize casino operations in Japan. The bill would lift the ban on casino operations and development. This was yet another disappointment in a long line of setbacks for those who would like to see casinos in Japan as a boost to tourism and local economies. \nIntegrated Resorts were meant to be an important part of PM Abe’s development model\, but now some people say Japan has missed the boat on another regional opportunity. The question now is whether developer and operators that were interested have thrown in the towel? Or is the market opportunity too large to abandon\, with those that know Japan playing the long (waiting) game? \nKiyoshi Nishijima has spent a good deal of his time involved with major hospitality projects in the region\, as well as various government entities. 10 years ago he founded CLC and three years later formed the Japan Gaming Development Organization (JGDO) for the purpose of representing casino/gaming interests in Japan as a lobbying organization.  Since then he has become a legal representative of Melco Crown Entertainment with respect its interests in Japan. Kiyoshi will be able to give us good insight into where the casino bill is headed\, whether indeed Japan has lost the opportunity and perhaps some other interesting stories from the work he has done so far to push this casino bill through in Japan.

SUMMARY:2016 Aug G3 - How A CEO Can Master The Art Of Acquisition
DESCRIPTION:In business\, when we think of “acquisition” immediately the image of a large firm buying a smaller firm to get into a national market\, buy market share\, or even kill potential competition.  In the August CEO Insights\, we will be talking about when it is right to buy a company\, and when it is best to hold steady.   \nWe will be expanding our definition of acquisition to incorporate the view of the c-level. Acquiring new talent is a huge challenge for every firm but there are many other areas.  In a start up business\, the three Ps are pricing (costs)\, productivity\, and planning.  As we grow we must know how to speed our processes both internally and externally. A healthy business is a living growing organization. \nIn the August CEO Insights luncheon\, our discussion will center on acquisition from many angles.  We’ll discuss some actual examples of some great decisions (and likely see some things that didn’t go so well as we expected).

SUMMARY:2016 July G3- Using Outside Resources To Accelerate Business Growth
DESCRIPTION:With the global market trending towards sharing\, it is fascinating to watch that trend and how it effects our businesses.  We’ve got ride-sharing (Uber\, Lyft)\, room-sharing (AirBNB)\, and a lot of resource sharing (freelancer.com) and many other new business models that seem to show the market going from “owning your resources\, to sharing your resources”.\nTraditionally\, we’ve seen consulting firms as the way to get extra resources for your accounting\, advertising\, and other marketing areas. In the July CI meeting\, we’ll be discussing how to more effecctively use outside resources to build your business. \n– The increase in business benefits derived from the use of consultants through more effective selection\, management and control of them; \n– The reduction of consulting fees and expenses from not only being better equipped for negotiations but also through more effective structuring of consultant vs. company resources; and \n– The transfer of knowledge and capabilities to company personnel by using them more effectively in projects involving consultants.
