About the Concept
What is Tie-in, Tie Off?
• A monthly benkyokai held the last Thursday of every month
• A short presentation, sometimes in Japanese, followed by Q&A and discussion (everything lasting around 1 hour)
• NCCJ Members Only
So let's tie in, meet up and learn from each other in a casual atmosphere with: Tie-in, Tie Off!
About the Event
How are the NCCJ’s members dealing with the current COVID-19 crisis? How did we react to the crisis in the beginning? How are we dealing with it now? What can we learn from each other when moving forward? And importantly: What has fundamentally changed since the beginning of this year?
All businesses and sectors have been thoroughly affected by COVID-19. This has been challenging and proved to be uncharted territory for many and the pandemic have and will force us to do business in a new and different way. This is ta time where we can use our community to its fullest potential, share best practices and learn from each other.
In the last edition of Tie-in, Tie Off in 2020, we invite all our members to an informal information sharing session at Aurora Hall in the Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo. Our panel consisting of three directors from the NCCJ board will revisit their appearance at the first edition of Tie-in, Tie Off of 2020. We will have an update and a discussion with our panelists based on the following pointers:
• How did you first handle the COVID-19 crisis when it emerged?
• How are you dealing with the situation now and how has your business / industry changed? How has your supply chain been affected by the crisis?
• What have you learnt moving forward, what new measures have been implemented temporarily/permanently and how will the way you do business be changed?
• In a broader sense and from your perspective, how has your industry and how business in conducted changed both domestically and internationally?
Join us for an educating and social information-sharing session in the last edition of Tie-in, Tie Off 2020!
