Opening Keynote
“Turn Crisis into Opportunity: Time to Shape and Create
Next Generation Diversity”
Kiyoshi Kurokawa, MD, MACP, FRCP (London)
Professor, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies
Before 3.11, Japan was facing two lost decades of economic stagnation and social
challenges, including a shrinking population and discouraged youths.
In order to turn the 3.11 crisis into an opportunity and emerge as a stronger nation,
we must rethink our global approach to diversity and inclusion. Diversity involves more than national origin,
race or gender; it has to do with “Diversity of thought,” and it’s all about creating cultures of inclusiveness.
In this session, the critical issue of next generation of diversity will be discussed.

Finding talent is key to success for businesses in the 21st century.
Numerous data support the premise that gender diversity at the top delivers better business results.
The number of working women in the U.S. has surpassed the number of working men. As consumers, women represent a growth market bigger than China and India combined, according to the Harvard Business Review.
Yet comparatively few women reach top executive positions. This interactive session will address the business case for gender diversity,
offer an exchange of ideas, and explore new approaches.

One important precursor to leadership success is a wide circle of relationships and contacts – to have a talent for building networks.
Just like financial capital, social capital is essential for business and life success. Social capital refers to the network of relationships that one can deploy to get things done. Success in this arena is not measured by the number of contacts you make, but by the quality and density of relationships that you build over time. It is measured by the influence and reputation which you can bring to that connection. In this session,
learn how to invest, build, and preserve your social capital.
