SPEAKING
I give lectures and seminars for companies, executives, and business professionals on topics such as management experience at Amazon, customer-centric thinking, organization and talent, and global business.
SPEAKING TOPICS
Amazon's Absolute Thinking
I will explain Amazon's growth and success secrets using concrete examples—such as its business structure, business model, customer centricity, mechanisms, talent recruitment and development, and methods for fostering corporate culture—in alignment with the content of the book, aiming to provide participants and their organizations with an opportunity to implement these strategies as needed.
90 minutes (including Q&A)
Business scalability starts with systems.
“Why isn't second place okay?” The economies of scale gained by becoming number one. That business model relies on overwhelming upfront investment and continuity, combined with the accumulation of mechanisms and systems and the automation of verification to become a platformer. Leveraging insights gained from seeing that strategy firsthand as an Amazon executive, this presentation explains through actual examples how to implement such mechanisms.
90 minutes (including Q&A)
The cutting edge of recruitment and training
What is strong talent? By what standards, processes, and environments do we hire, develop, and retain strong talent? Exploring American-style and Amazon-style talent strategies. Understand the current reality of the talent acquisition competition—which Japan must now change to keep pace—and take a step toward transformation.
90 minutes (including Q&A)
Mastering Amazon to boost sales
Is Amazon a foe or a friend? Turn Amazon into your ally and achieve global expansion as well. Mastering Amazon—including its marketplace, cloud services, payments, logistics, and cross-border selling tools—is a viable strategy. This is the Amazon Effect. Rather than a sales pitch from an Amazon employee, I offer impartial advice from a third-party perspective.
90 minutes (including Q&A)
What is local management for Japanese companies to succeed overseas?
Now, we cannot afford to remain confined to Japan alone, where the population has begun to decline. What is local management, learned from typical failures and successes that occur when expanding overseas?
90 minutes (including Q&A)
DX - Digital Transformation: Productivity Improvement & System Renewal Project
In the post-COVID-19 era, the business environment has changed dramatically, and companies are increasingly pressured by the necessity of Digital Transformation (DX). On the other hand, the reality is that problems such as project cancellations and operational halts after launch are occurring. What are the methods for promoting DX projects to ensure success? How should executives be involved? We will explain using actual examples.
90 minutes (including Q&A)
Career development
There is a rapid shift from the traditional Japanese membership-based employment model to the Western-style job-based employment model. Moving away from the conventional employment model of hiring new graduates, training them, and retaining them long-term based on experience, how should one approach career development with intent in order to secure the best offers—in terms of position, scope of responsibility, and compensation—that align with a company's evolving growth scenarios? Drawing on empirical rules and the perspective of the hiring side, I will discuss this topic.
