SUMMARY:2016 Sept G3 - The Japan Experience- Why Japan Resonates So Well To The World
DESCRIPTION:As a business professional\, there are many wonderful places in the world to live. However\, there is some appeal to Japan that seems to draw people from around the globe. The food\, the safety\, the thousands of great companies..the reasons may vary. Every major company in the world that is successful\, likely has an office in Japan. Why is it that Japan continues to draw people? Why is it that younger Japanese are no longer moving abroad but are actually coming home. There is a draw to the land of the rising sun. We see it in the doubling in the number of international visitors in 2015. \nIn the September CEO Insights Luncheon will welcome guest\, Carl Kay. Carl is founder and president of TOKYO WAY KK\, a destination management company specializing in deep access to authentic Japanese culture\, both traditional and modern\, emphasizing experiential activities. Carl will share some of his views on why Japan is resonating so strongly with today’s travelers and how the perspective of outsiders like himself who love Japan is changing the travel experience here. \nCome enjoy another meeting of Japan’s leading and get a fresh perspective as well as the interaction with other CEOs. \nMore About Carl –\nAn American residing in Japan since 1996\, Carl founded and successfully sold a software localization company. He served as President of the Harvard Club of Japan from 2008-2016. Carl has consulted for companies ranging from Uniqlo to mid-sized Japanese companies in the education and user experience design fields.

SUMMARY:2016 May C8 - The Business of Managing Middle Management
DESCRIPTION:Middle Managers are the glue that connects the bottom with the top.  Executives rely on Middle Management to cascade their messages to the front line.  However\, do they actually do a good job of this or are they information hoarders and not sharing it with those below? \nThey are also expected to be conduits pushing valuable ideas and insights from the front line upward to the senior leaders.  The innovation capacity of companies often relies on those closest to the customer. Invariably many great ideas potentially emanating from the front line are never tapped\, because there was not the environment to do so.  That environment creation is the responsibility of the Middle Managers. \nMiddle Managers will play an even more important role in the future\, as the supply of young workers dwindles and a ferocious war for talent consumes us all.  The inability of Middle Management to retain the young will have a direct negative cost on the bottom line of our businesses.  Replacing and covering for the departing young has many costs – recruitment\, disruption\, opportunities\, team motivation etc. \n\n\nIn this month’s CI Luncheon\, Dale Carnegie’s Japan President and CI member CEO\, Greg Story will be leading the discussion on “The Business Of Managing Middle Management”.  Come join us as we talk about developing a companies most important asset\, it’s team.

SUMMARY:2016 Jan C20 The World Of Gaisho
DESCRIPTION:With the influx of more and more international tourists\, there are more people thinking they understand Japan\, it’s culture\, and it’s way of doing business.  However\, there are many areas that people cannot see.  Not just the locals\, but even the long term international residents. \n\nIn the January CI meeting\, Ecco’s Japan CEO will introduce us to the Japanese world of the Gaisho.  What is the Gaisho?  Gaisho are the high end clientele of Japan.   Gaisho clientele are invisible to the average person\, but they are a very high spending\, pampered customer for many of Japan’s famous retail outlets.  Specifically\, they are very engaged by department stores.  Their existence is not just a important market\, but reveals things about Japan that the c-level must understand.

SUMMARY:2016 Jan G3 -How Japan Sees Finance & Banking And How It Affects Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Global financial firms have had mixed results in Asia.  Specifically\, they’ve been in Japan for some time but had varying levels of success.  There are some American credit card businesses that have their second largest global market outside of the US in Japan.  Japan is a crown jewel.  There are other banks that have failed miserably because they couldn’t get a handle on how to manage themselves or work with Japan’s regulatory bodies. \nIn the 2016 kick off of CEO Insights G3\, we’ll be diving right into the topic that is likely very guarded\, money.  Specifically we’ll be talking how Japan sees Western\, as well as other Asian\, banking and finance.  We’ll be welcome guest expert Yoshio Kitazawa. \nMr. Kitazawa spent 28 years in banking as the head of a major American bank.  Following that time\, he served as Senior Advisor to the IBA (International Bankers Association of Japan) working with the BOJ\, the PM’s cabinet\, and several other non-governmental bodies in Japan.  He founded his own company in 2005 called BCP Corporation selling cloud-based business continuity systems.  You will leave very enlightened on Japan and finance\, from a local perspective.

SUMMARY:2015 Dec C20 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:2015 Nov G3 Keeping The CEO's Executive Edge
DESCRIPTION:CEOs are all faced with the challenges of satisfying our day-day customers and achieving (short-term) financial objectives to keep our stake-holders happy.  However\, the world continues to evolve\, change.  Bosses all know that those that do not adapt and those that do not look for the trends and respond accordingly\, unfortunately\, fall into irrelevancy.  C-levels intuitively know we need to look to the future to maintain our leadership positions\, however\, the actuality is that some keep the edge much better then others\n\nWhat works for you? How do you find the balance?  Organizationally\, how do you balance long-term (mid-term) planning with the day-to-day?  Do you have specific annual processes that work that can be shared with others?  Who does it?  How do you do it?  Does it work? …or is it a waste of time? With so much responsibility\, no boss has mastered everything.  This month’s CEO Insights is all about insights.\n\nWhat metrics do you or areas do you focus in your planning:  Financial\, structure (organization)\, innovation\, looking at competition\, threats\, opportunities\, and much more.  At this month’s CEO Insights meeting\, you will have an invaluable opportunity to see inside companies outside of yours.

SUMMARY:2015 September C20 – Getting Inspiration From Bricks
DESCRIPTION:Japan is a market that to many foreign companies remains an enigma and where one of the key learnings seems to be that all market segments are saturated and dominated by huge local players. The toy market is not any different and yet a small company from an even smaller country far up in the northernmost part of Europe is trying to swim against the current and prove that even if a market is not growing you can successfully grow a global brand using global tools. \nWhat is the story behind the growth of the LEGO brand in this market and are there any learnings for companies outside the toy business? LEGO Japan’s CEO Steen Lauge Kokkenborg will be answering questions as well as sharing insights\, learnings and perspectives from his experience with the LEGO Brand in the Japanese market.  Prior to Japan\, Steen ran Lego’s successful Korea organization. \nAfter the Sept CI meeting\, you will leave the luncheon regretting you ever left your toys on your way to success.

SUMMARY:2015 August G3 - Is There Really Any Real Cyber Security For My Business?
DESCRIPTION:As Japan is getting ready for the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games as well as the current high tension with China and Korea\, cyber security has become a key focal point for both the government (with JPS as a recent example of the current weaknesses that exist) and for the private sector. Another complicating factor is the convergence of physical and cyber security issues\, shown most prevalently by a couple of recent attacks: \n\nTarget\, a large US based retail organization\, had up to 70M customer credit cards and other PPI stolen after being hacked via their building’s HVAC system.\nA small team recently took over a Jeep that was traveling 70 mph (or about 110 kph) on the highway via its 3G mobile connection\, and Range Rover is doing a recall of many of their vehicles due to their door and ignition system being easily hacked.\nThe emergence of IoT\, especially in control systems for manufacturing\, health care services\, etc.\, presents a huge new set of opportunities for hackers to exploit and either gain control of various functions or bridge into the enterprise network.\n\n  \nIn the August CI meeting\, Mr. Phillip Morris\, CTO for British Telecom (BT) Japan\, will speak to us about BT’s experiences protecting the London 2012 Olympic Games. He will also share on where cyber security and risk management is going over the next few years. \nBT is a global telecommunications company with a heavy focus on the financial services\, manufacturing\, health care/life sciences and CPG sectors. BT is world renowned for their managed security services\, protecting not only the Olympic Games\, but also high profile organizations such as NATO Summits\, large UK ministries\, and global banks.

SUMMARY:2015 May C20 – How Hollywood Is Changing With An Evolving Consumer
DESCRIPTION:Change is something we all face in any industry or business and how we lead our companies through it will determine our survival.   \nContent – How we consume it is rapidly changing!  People consuming content in totally different ways than before. Understanding the consumer and the marketplace in the wonderful world of media and content in Japan.   \nIn 2001\, Home Entertainment\, DVD & Blu-ray sales\, overtook theatrical as Hollywood’s primary revenue stream.  New emerging distribution is on-demand streaming and Digital HD.  The business is rapidly evolving\, toward a digital distribution model\, but if you look at the numbers you’ll find the total amount of money consumers are spending on bringing movies and TV shows into their homes and mobile devices has remained remarkably solid\, The numbers show a continued slide away from traditional packaged-media sales and rentals into their digital equivalents\, Digital HD sales and on-demand streaming.  Home Entertainment is alive and thriving = more and more eyeballs are watching farting cat videos on YouTube or “liking” some status update on Facebook\, but content is still being consumed\, on demand\, as heavily as it ever was. \nIn May’s CI luncheon get insights into the evolving consumer and how other companies and media businesses are dealing with it.

SUMMARY:2015 May C8 – The Future Of Japan: Reigniting Productivity & Growth
DESCRIPTION:With Japan’s declining population\, shrinking work force\, and production going abroad\, Japan has a multipronged pitchfork coming it’s direction for future economic growth. \nDespite two painful “lost decades\,” Japan remains the third-largest economy and the fourth-leading exporter in the world. It is a nation with advanced technological know-how\, a formidable manufacturing base\, world-class infrastructure\, and a large and affluent consumer market. This is a rare combination of strengths—and yet the world remains pessimistic about Japan’s prospects for growth and reinvention. \nIn May’s CEO Insights Luncheon\, Georges Desvaux\, boss of McKinsey Japan will be sharing McKinsey perspectives on the future of the Japanese economy.   This is something that the authorities and a handful of key executives have been discussing.  We are pleased to include CEO Insights members in this very important discussion and to be a part of the thought leadership for the future of the market and the nation.
