SUMMARY:Lunch With LDP Diet Member - Lifting Japan's Productivity
DESCRIPTION:Following World War 2\, the post-war generation of locals in Japan worked very hard to take the country from the pit to the pinnacle. Japan went from a land devastated by the war machine and industrial production wiped out\, to the second largest economy in the world by GDP. There is no doubt that the people worked hard to attain economic success and prosperity for their children. \nHowever\, since the bubble burst\, Japan has been experiencing little growth for more than three decades. Wage growth has stalled during that time. The third arrow of Abenomics was focused on growth strategies but didn’t really ripe fruit. Implementing a true growth strategy and improving productivity has always been a challenge for top politicians. \nIn July\, we have the opportunity to meet with a Diet member in the controlling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Mr. Keiichiro Asao has been a Diet member for more than 20 years and is currently the Deputy Head of International Affairs within the LDP (国際局長代理). In the past\, he was the Head of the House of Councilors Committee on Finance and Monetary Policy (参議院財政金融委員長) and headed the Your Party (みんなの党). Mr. Asao will be discussing how to improve Japan’s productivity as he thinks that improving productivity is the best solution for many of Japan’s problems. Deriving from this main theme\, he can also discuss the following: \n\nhow to alleviate labor shortage issues by enhancing usage and promotion of foreign and female workers;\nhow to bring in more foreign investments into Japan;\nhow to promote Japan’s (particularly Tokyo’s) position as an international finance center; and\nhow to realize digital transformation\n\nApart from the main theme\, he can also talk about the geopolitical situation surrounding Japan and defense-related issues\, as well as many other political issues. This is the second time for Mr. Asao to speak at our lunch meeting. We are thankful that he is making the time to visit business leaders such as CEO Insights. We hope to gain insights from him and to suggest ideas that may help him make a positive influence on Japan\, and our professional and personal futures.

SUMMARY:2021 Nov (Tues)-The Physics of Talent
DESCRIPTION:Talent is the great challenge of humanity for the 21st century. Whereas the previous century saw a great liberation of human ability from antiquated bonds of classism\, racism\, sexism\, and other forms of bigotry\, the challenge of the current century will be identifying\, refining\, and channeling human ability into those avenues most conducive to human thriving. The challenge is all around us\, from the elementary school classroom to the industrial factory floor to the corporate boardroom. The liberation\, maximization\, and coordination of human ability will drive the fate of our species. \nWhat role will private enterprise play in addressing this challenge? All companies struggle with the basic reality that there is simply not enough talent to do everything companies wish to do. The problem manifests in millions of unfilled job openings\, a byzantine rent-seeking recruiting industry\, costly outsourcing and consulting firms\, and a woefully underserved market for corporate training and ‘reskilling’. \nCan we accurately quantify talent? Can we then reliably train adults in ways that measurably improve their proficiencies making them demonstrably more effective workers? Can we correlate training inputs to positive business outcomes in a repeatable fashion? The company that figures this out will not only have a massive competitive advantage relative to its peers\, but will have also tapped a trillion dollar market that will influence the fates of billions. \nJoin us for the November CEO Insights luncheon with Jonathan Bethune.  Mr.  Bethune believes the best way to understand this challenge is by conceiving of it as a physics problem. With the right perspective\, companies can refine their approach to corporate training in ways that ensure optimal ROI

SUMMARY:2021 Sept (Thur) - Four Things You MUST Understand About Asia- A Geopolitical Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Japan’s historic role in Asia as viewed from several significant global perspectives. The west\, China\, Korea\, Taiwan\, and ASEAN each view Japan and their relationships with her from very different view points\, colored by their history with the country. And\, Japan sees herself in an equally divergent way\, also very much affected by her history and role in the region. These viewpoints color the relationships between these nations\, and the way in which they trade\, conduct diplomacy\, and cooperate within international institutions. A quick flip of the map can help to understand how that came to be\, and how it affects doing business in the region as a foreign party. \nFour Things We Will Cover- \n– How the world views Asia and Japan especially\, based on their context in history.\n– How Japan views the world and Asia especially\, based on its context in history.\n– How Taiwan got sandwiched in between these things.\n– How all of this is shaping the march of current events\, and the likelihood of a coming armed conflict in east Asia. \nIn this month’s CEO Insights lunch\, we will welcome Robert Moss.  Robert is a former US navy officer and helicopter pilot.  Internationally experienced leader with extensive cross-cultural experience. Business Operations\, program management\, customer relations\, business development and sales experience in Asia\, Europe and the Middle East. Extensive strategic planning\, networking\, team building\, human resources\, and personnel management skills developed over 30+ years in the Aerospace and Defense sector.

SUMMARY:2021 Sept (Tues)- How Business Organizations Can Help Your Bottom Line- A Meeting With The CCIFJ
DESCRIPTION:In CEO Insights\, we hear a lot about the business issues of our members as well as outside guest c-levels in Japan and globally. One area that we’ve been wanting to cover was the role of business and professional organizations in winning business\, influencing good governance and other areas.   Americans extensively used their embassy and chamber to get American cars and aerospace in Japan\, the Brits have used their influence to promote UK military products and defense aerospace\, and recently German universities have to promote and sell electric vehicle prototypes within Japan to Yamato.  How important are these professional organizations in winning the hearts and minds of new customers nationally? \nIn the Sept CI network lunch\, we will welcome Mr. Nicolas Bonnardel\, the Executive Director of the CCI France Japon (the French Chamber of Commerce In Japan).  It’s reported that the CCIFJ has just taken over as the largest foreign chamber organization in Japan.  In this closed door\, open discussion with CI bosses\, Mr. Bonnardel will share his thoughts on \n\nCases of what companies did to win business locally in their industries\nHow A Chamber can positively influence business\nStrengths and weaknesses of the JP market\n\nJoin us for this time of better understanding how to get your business into positive flow as you interact with other market leaders.

SUMMARY:2021 June (Thurs) - Death Or Taxes\, Better Talk Taxes
DESCRIPTION:One of the beautiful things about living in the world is the great opportunity every person has to pay taxes.  Even Jesus Christ\, when publicly attacked by the religious bigots in a trick masterfully responded\,\n“give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar\, and give to God what belongs to God.” His reply completely amazed them [Matthew 12:17].  He’s God but we’re not and taxation has been an important area to understand for a LONG time.  So give to the government what they demand and life will be easier.  The fact of the matter is we all have to pay.  In the June CEO Insights network meeting we will again welcome a specialist in the field\, Mr. Hans-Peter Musahi.\n\nAlthough it will be an open discussion\, which is part of what makes CI membership so valuable\, we are planning to cover\n⁃ Deductions of certain directors bonuses\n⁃ The limited inheritance tax exemptions\n⁃ Carried interest in Japan\n⁃ The end of rental loss deductions\n⁃ Valuation opportunities\n\n\n\nWe expect this to be a dynamic discussion as we’ve not covered the topic since April 2017.  Don’t miss this opportunity to talk taxes… and we’ll save the death discussion for a later date.  😉

SUMMARY:May (Tues Grp)- 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:2021 April G3 The Wavering Role of Legal Professionals - From the Eyes of a Japanese Legal Practitioner
DESCRIPTION:The services of a lawyer are retained for the purpose of defending and representing the best interests of the client. \nHowever\, recent developments in the legal industry suggest that just looking out such interests is insufficient in carrying out the duties of a lawyer.\n\n \nWhat is a lawyer you retain looking out for other than your interests?\nOther than the best interests of the client\, what binds the decisions and undertakings of a lawyer?\nIn what situations will a lawyer be compelled to prioritize the ethical duties imposed upon such lawyer above the interest of the client?  \nMr. Misaki will discuss these questions and also provide an overview of the legal industry in this event.\nThere are many areas we would like to cover so Mr. Misaki is willing to go with the flow.\nHowever\, with some 1\,500 new lawyers coming online each year since the legal education reform almost a decade ago\, the market is changing and employers have to stay ahead.

SUMMARY: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. With the virus fears of 2020\, everyone had many chances to make decisions. Some we may be happy with\, others we likely want to change. \nGreat leadership leads while sometimes in weakness\, some 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 March 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:2021 February- From The Eyes Of A Native- Japan Legal Precedents That Influence Your Business
DESCRIPTION:The influence of government and politicians around the world demonstrate the importance understanding the legal systems of our land.  Legally speaking\, Japan is a lot more stable than other nations of late\, however that doesn’t make the nation perfect.  The nation has some quirks of its own.  A wise business leader will understand the legal implications of any business before they embark on a new project.  CEO Insights is made up of leading Japan executives as well as c-levels from around the world.  In the February CEO Insights luncheon\, we welcome Mr. Takuo Misaki.  He will be sharing his experience on \n\nThe Japanese Legal System: How attorneys are educated\, tested and trained and the evolving legal market\nExamples of “rogue” members of the Legal Community\nEmployment and how COVID can change employer/employee relations\n\nThere are many areas we would like to cover so Mr. Misaki is willing to go with the flow.  However\, with some 2\,000 to 1\,500 new lawyers coming online each year since the legal education reform almost a decade ago\, the market is changing and employers have to stay ahead of the curve. \nMore on Takuo Misaki \nMr. Misaki was admited to the Tokyo Bar Association in 2011.  He is a graduate of Sophia University and the law school at Keio University.  He speaks native Japanese and English.  His areas of practice: Family matters\, civil law\, criminal cases\, labour/employment issues\, litigation\, corporate law\, commercial law\, international transactions\, legal matters regarding schools (including international schools).  He practiced law in a larger firm and has recently founded his own firm\, Law Offices of Fujita and Misaki.  He also teaches at Temple University in Japan.

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: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 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.
