SUMMARY:2015 Nov C8 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 August G3 Understanding The Power Of Licensing In Japan

SUMMARY:2015 August C8 What Is The Next Generation For Travel?
DESCRIPTION:When video conference systems came out in the 90s\, many predicted that business trips would be cut back along with the associated expenses with this new technology in the workplace.  It didn’t work out for most companies and executives as well as many in the team still have to travel to global offices.  Nothing beats meeting someone in person.\n \n\nOur guest for August is Shinji Tsukamoto.  He\, together with 2 other founders\, is a cofounder of DUFL\, a premium travel service that has a large ambition to change the way we travel.  The service has launched in the US\, and is fast becoming one of the most talked-about startups: on CNBC\, Fox News\, Bloomberg.  Shinji’s job is to launch the service all around the world\, including Japan\, all from scratch.  Jasper thought it would be interesting to introduce the service to you\, and how it might indeed change the way you travel. He’ll also share with you some of the challenges he sees as a startup in Japan\, and challenges to launch services outside Japan from Tokyo.\n \n\nDUFL is a premium travel service- a personal valet that simplifies business travel by shipping\, cleaning and storing your business attire.DUFL stores your clothing in your personal DUFL closet\, and allows you to virtually ‘pack’ by selecting your clothing items from within the app. Once you’ve scheduled your trip\, you’ll travel – bag free\, and your freshly cleaned and neatly packed clothing will meet you at your specified destination. When you’re ready to head home\, schedule a pick up from the hotel and we’ll clean your clothes and have them waiting in your virtual closet\, ready for your next trip!\n \n\nGet ready for new perspectives on something every boss does nearly every month.

SUMMARY:2015 July C8 - The Current State of Robotics In Japan
DESCRIPTION:Japan has been very famous for past successes in building the economy to one of the largest in the world.  Gone are the days of household name recognition of names like Sony\, Sharp\, and many other consumer products manufacturers.  A new time has begun.  A few areas that make Japan stand out these days are “Made in Japan” quality\, animation/gaming\, and robotics. \n\nIn the July CI meeting we will welcome Mr. Tadahiro Kawada.  Mr. Kawada is CEO of Kawada Kyogo which is a company specializing in steel products for bridges and other infrastructure. One of their recent high profile projects is providing for the Tokyo SkyTree project.  Besides steel\, another very interesting area of the Kawada Kogyo business is the robotics area.  This is a recognized growth area by Japan.  One of Prime Minister Abe’s is to enhance the robotic industry which is one of the industries where Japan has a competitive edge globally.  It is also perceived as one of the ways to address the labor shortage and low productivity in Japan\, so it has become a critical industry for Japan’s future.  Mr. Kawada has robots that work alongside people on assembly lines which is quite unique and how he implements his philosophy of “humans should always be in control” is interesting. \n\nCome join us at the July CEO Insights to learn more about how one Japanese leader sees the future.  Special thanks to Ernie Higa for arranging this meeting!
