Canon Marketing Japan's Executive Development Seminar
On July 9, 2025, from 15:00 to 16:00, En Factory Co., Ltd. will host a seminar titled "The Journey of Canon Marketing Japan in Developing Executives Through Transnational Learning." This online event will provide insights into the flexible talent development strategies essential for nurturing leaders who can succeed in today's rapidly changing business landscape.
Addressing the Challenges of Executive Development
In modern business environments, finding and nurturing the next generation of executive leaders is critical for sustainable corporate growth. However, many organizations struggle with common challenges, such as identifying high-potential candidates, achieving meaningful outcomes from training programs, and fostering practical skills through traditional education methods.
During this informative webinar, attendees will hear directly from Wakana Saeki, the Director of the HR Development Center at Canon Marketing Japan Corporation. She will share the comprehensive approach of Canon's executive development programs, which integrate transnational learning methods.
The Power of Transnational Learning
Rather than relying solely on theoretical knowledge, Canon Japan's programs emphasize practical experiences that extend beyond the company's usual boundaries. This approach aims to provide participants with what they call "stretch experiences" that enhance their capabilities. Attendees will gain insights into how these experiences are structured, the underlying intentions behind them, and the actual results achieved.
Moreover, the seminar will feature Kentaro Kishigami, CEO of MyDearest Inc., who will share his firsthand experiences from welcoming Canon's prospective executive candidates into his organization. He will discuss the changes observed in these candidates and the influence they've had on his company.
Attendees can expect to learn:
- - How transnational learning contributes to executive development.
- - The reasons behind Canon Marketing Japan's choice of this learning model.
- - The transformations that participants have undergone during the program.
