“Next Generation Leadership Based on Empathy and Co-creation in the Post Covid-19 Era - Aiming for Sustainable Corporation, Lessons Learned from Best Practices in Japan”

 

Is an online seminar(Webinar) for business executives and managers in developing countries. This webinar will focus on the concepts of "empathy" and "co-creation", with case studies from Japanese companies, to learn what kind of leadership is necessary for companies to survive and develop in the era of major issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid progress of Digital Transformation (DX).

 

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accelerating Digital Transformation (DX), the nature of companies /organizations, as well as required style of management and leadership are forced to undergo a major transformation. In order to sustainably develop business in these times, it is extremely important for leaders to gain the empathy of both customers and members of the organization. In addition, the key to the continuity and survival of a company is to achieve "co-creation" in a way that involves not only internal members but also customers and business partners.

 

To realize this, leadership in a new dimension (the next generation) has become paramount. On top of this, it is a very urgent issue that this kind of leadership is not limited to top management level, but also extends to all levels company-wide and this should result in networking and strengthening of collaboration inside and outside of the organization.

 

This webinar will focus on leadership from the perspective of "empathy" and "co-creation," and will elaborate advanced approaches of Japanese companies and their challenges. We aim to inspire participants, who are engaged in the management as well as further development of their companies/organizations in the developing countries, to broaden their perspectives as leaders and to apply them to the sustainable development of their own corporate activities in the post-COVID-19 era.

This webinar aims to achieve the following goals for company executives, managers/ supervisors and leaders of next generation in developing countries.

1) To understand the basic concepts of leadership and followership in an organization
