Event Detail

What do organizations need to manage strategic performance? When two essentially critical processes, budgeting and strategy creation, are not

linked to each other - and research reveals that 60% of organizations don't link budgets to strategy - the result is a "strategic shortfall."

Is this an issue that plagues your company? What kind of actions can you initiate that will allow these two pieces to work together?



In a new series called Leadership Conversations, being launched this month by the Special Events Committee, Arthur Stern, CEO of Global Prime, will talk about his experience working in organizations that are struggling to execute their strategy. He will focus on options for integrating the budgeting and strategy creation processes.



Leadership Conversations is a program that is highly interactive, featuring a short presentation by the speaker, a moderated discussion of the central ideas, and a longer question and answer period focusing on the groups' experiences, case studies and questions. We hope you will walk away with a better idea on different approaches to focus on this

issue, with expertise provided by Mr. Stern and experiences of fellow members of the Chamber.



Arthur Stern is one of the founders of Global Prime, a strategic marketing consulting company based in Tokyo. His personal focus is business, marketing and sales strategy with an emphasis on performance management as the means to ensure successful execution. Several recent assignments have also incorporated action-learning programs and business process innovation with the intent of creating new organizational capabilities and sustainable results.



Mr. Stern has management and consulting experience across a very diverse set of industries and with companies ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100. He has been in Japan for over 10 years working with major international and Japanese corporations. In the U.S. before coming to

Japan, he was a senior partner in several distinguished strategy and technology firms.
