The majority of corporate leaders come up against the “Japan is different syndrome”. For supply chain management in particular, the likelihood you have heard multiplies a thousand fold. But the issues faced by SCM leaders, CxOs are the same everywhere.

In this seminar, you will meet with top leaders who tell you about the solutions they successfully used in Japan. Jonathan Hewitt, former COO of adidas Japan, will talk about how he executed global SCM principles in Japan, what were the main issues, and how he succeeded. Many will think of Toyota, Uniqlo and 7/11 and wonder why efficient SCM remains difficult to execute for them in Japan. Daichi Sugimoto, an expert in procurement strategy, will use procurement to illustrate the points made by Jonathan by explaining the “asis” situation and the major trends in Japan for procurement, and how this impacts your business.

Finally, you cannot execute without the right resources. Carlo La Porta, in charge of the Supply Chain Management desk at Top Grade International, will speak about the Japanese skill market, salary trends, and strategies to find and hire the right employees to execute your strategies. This seminar gives practical information for business leaders, supply chain professionals, and anyone who needs to successfully execute change.

The seminar will be followed by a Q&A session and by a networking cocktail from 7 p.m. onward.

Admission Fee: 6,000 yen (Limited to 40 participants)
