The title of the event was "When I was 19: How to work with people from diverse backgrounds at multinational companies". Beginning with his student life and studies at the Faculty of Agriculture, UTokyo, he talked about his experiences of working with people from diverse backgrounds at Japanese and multinational corporations.
His narratives included his previous duty as a member of the top management at a multinational enterprise. At the end of his talk, he encouraged participants to interact with people from diverse backgrounds through taking part in various activities.
After the talk given by Mr. Yamagishi, participants actively discussed with each other in small groups and then came back to the plenary session in which they asked him various questions. Mr. Yamagishi generously answered all these questions.
The Go Global Gateway program will organize a variety of events for the registrants. We look forward to your participation in our future events!
