New Media Launch: TOP THINKS on YouTube
Kutsuhimo Consulting, led by CEO Ren Yariya from Minato Ward, Tokyo, has unveiled a new series called
TOP THINKS, aimed to foster deep discussions among leading executives within various industries. The series will make its debut on YouTube on
August 28, 2026, at 6:00 PM.
About TOP THINKS
TOP THINKS differentiates itself from typical executive interviews. It aims to explore themes surrounding organizational conflicts, market environments, and the reasoning behind important decisions made within companies. The series focuses on the fundamental questions:
“Why was that decision made?” and
“What causes dissent within the organization?” This approach strives to bring visibility to the essential issues occurring in management circles.
Episode One: Details
The inaugural episode will feature a dialogue with
Toshimichi Ohno, Chairman of Pharmarise Holdings. Kutsuhimo Consulting's CEO, Ren Yariya, will engage in conversation moderated by announcer Miki Satake. The episode's theme is
“Management Decisions Overcoming Internal Opposition: Challenges in Transforming the Pharmaceutical Industry”, running approximately 30 minutes.
During the dialogue, the following topics will be candidly discussed:
- - Vision and background regarding the separation of medical services
- - The essence of management decisions: intuition and experience
- - Ground reality strategies and the Dominant strategy
- - Aspiring to become a 100-year company and nurturing future leaders
Background for Launching TOP THINKS
In an era where the business environment changes rapidly, leaders of listed companies and mid-tier firms face the challenge of balancing shareholder expectations with employee concerns. However, the genuine voices regarding what occurs in management often remain inadequately shared with the outside world. Kutsuhimo Consulting has witnessed numerous
“moments of decision” from executives during the process of supporting growth strategies in the social media age. Recognizing the necessity for a corporate media that visualizes the thinking processes behind real business decisions, the decision to establish TOP THINKS was made.
Remarks from CEO Ren Yariya
Ren Yariya comments, *
“It’s essential to understand how company leaders make management decisions. In this process, there are invariably conflicts
, trial and error
, and dialogue with the field
. Yet, the essence of management
is rarely discussed in quarterly earnings reports or press releases. TOP THINKS aims to make these invisible aspects
visible, creating a platform for upcoming generations of business leaders to learn from. At the same time, we wish to utilize our acquired knowledge in management support for the benefit of society. Our first guest, Chairman Ohno, is a rare leader who has continually made bold management decisions within the traditionally conservative pharmaceutical industry. Engaging directly in dialogue with him is a substantial asset for us.”
Future Episodes
TOP THINKS plans to deliver new episodes at a rate of 1 to 2 times per month. Following the first episode focusing on the pharmaceutical industry, episodes will also feature leaders from construction, manufacturing, IT, finance, and human resources, addressing cross-industry management challenges such as talent acquisition and development, digital transformation, and organizational change.
