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。

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

management, she has extensive experience working with Japanese organizations and
their non-Japanese suppliers and partners. She has worked with numerous Japanese

currently focused on helping Japanese companies be more successful in Silicon Valley,

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.
