What is "Third Way Forum"

A platform for international business leaders whose talents and ideas may be underutilized in Japanese companies to develop a collective voice to shape the future of “Japanese Global” companies.

Third Way Forum Charter

Background

With growing overseas business and a rapid increase of foreign employees, many Japanese and non-Japanese companies are still striving to globalize. Many highly skilled professionals are still underutilized, under-represented and under-supported. For a long time, there has been an “us vs them” mentality between the Japanese corporate culture and the foreign company’s global corporate culture.
Now more than ever, we need to seek a Third Way Corporate Culture that makes sense both in Japan and globally, benefiting both Japanese and foreign business professionals alike, and making all companies in Japan more successful globally.

Mission

To shape a new corporate culture (the Third Way) that makes companies more competitive globally by developing a solution-oriented, collective voice of international business professionals, and helps their successful inclusion into the Japanese business society.
To improve the working environment for all professionals accompanied by their sense of fulfillment with work in Japan.

Activities

Regular Forum Sessions, Roundtable Discussions, Sub-Forum Activities, Surveys & Reports, Online Community, Advisory Support, etc.
