概要

どれだけ多くの日本人がオバマ大統領の「Change」というスローガンに心を奪われたでしょうか？しかし、日本企業、日本国民そして日本という国は本当に変わることが出来るのでしょうか？そもそも、本当に変わりたいと思っていのでしょうか？日本の将来はこの「変わることが出来るかどうか」にかかっています。もちろん、道は一つだけとは限りません。裕福というぬるま湯に浸かって海外の言葉や文化と関わるのを避け、日本は内向的になってしまうのでしょうか？それとも世界とは多少繋がっていくが、少しずつ的外れな方向に動いていくのでしょうか？もしくは世界に率先して、リーダシップを発揮しグローバルな重要問題を解決する一員となるのでしょうか？
今回のイベントは、日本企業と密接に関連しながら働いている、海部美知、ロッシェル・カップ、キンバリー・ウィーフリングの三人のコンサルタント／著者が、日本や日本企業が今後どこにいくのか？そしてそれはあなたに取ってどんな意味を持つのかというトピックについて議論してもらいます。

今年の経済ソサイエティのテーマは「Catch the Next Wave - New Opportunities for
2010」です。2010年最初のこのフォーラムでは、日本が如何にして次の「波」をキャッチして不況から脱出できるのかという興味深い内容をお届け致します。不況の時期では、ネットワークや助け合いは重要なことです。なるべく多くの名刺をお持ちになり参加者やパネリストと名刺を交換してください。また、このフォーラム案内を知り合いの方々に転送して頂ければ幸いです。

consulting firm specializing in global telecom, mobile and the
internet industry, and the author of Paradaisu Sakoku (“Seclusion in
Paradise”).  Michi has provided strategic analysis and business
development advice to a wide range of clients, from small start-ups to

the crossroads of telecom, Japan and Silicon Valley.  With a belief
that mixing diverse elements from different markets and culture is an
important driver, she is interested in driving innovation in the
global telecom/mobile/Net industry.  In her popular Japanese blog
“Tech Mom from Silicon Valley”, in addition to the technology and
cultural aspects, she is also advocating the same view to solve
problems in the society, such as issues of children with special
needs.   Before founding ENOTECH, Michi worked in business development
for a mobile start-up company and NTT America, and international sales
at Honda Motor Co.  Michi holds an MBA from Stanford University's
Graduate School of Business, and a BA from Hitotsubashi University in
Tokyo, Japan. Her English

communications and human resource management, she has extensive
experience working with Japanese organizations and their non-Japanese
suppliers and partners.  She has worked with numerous Japanese
multinationals to help them improve their global human resource
management. She is currently focused on helping Japanese companies be
more successful in Silicon Valley, offering assistance on effective
human resource management practices, organization development, and
cross-cultural training and teambuilding.  Rochelle gained firsthand
experience of Japanese corporate culture when she lived in Japan and
worked at the Tokyo headquarters of a major Japanese financial
institution. She speaks, reads, and writes Japanese fluently.
Rochelle is the author of The Rice-Paper Ceiling: Breaking Through

Kimberly Wiefling, Executive Editor of the Scrappy About Series, is
the author of one of the top project management books in the US,
Scrappy Project Management - The 12 Predictable and Avoidable Pitfalls
Every Project Faces, one of the top project management books in the
US, a book growing in popularity around the world, and recently
published in Japanese by Nikkei Business Press.  She is the founder of
Wiefling Consulting, LLC, a global leadership and business management
consulting firm.  Kimberly specializes in enabling her clients to
achieve what seems impossible, but is merely difficult.  A physicist
by education, and a successful business leadership and project
management consultant for the past 8 years, she began her professional
career with 10 years at HP working in product development project
management and engineering leadership. She spent 5 years in the wild
and whacky world of Silicon Valley startups, including a Xerox Parc
spinoff where she was the VP of Program Management.  In 2001 she rose
from the ashes of the dot-com bust, launched her consulting practice,
and never looked back.  In typical Silicon Valley style, Kimberly has
helped to start, run and grow a dozen small businesses.  Four of the
startups that she co-founded are still in business and profitable.
She currently spends about half of her time traveling in Japan
facilitating leadership, innovation and execution excellence workshops
to help Japanese companies solve global problems profitably.
