GLOBIS Asia Campus

Last night, we hosted a highly interactive seminar with Nomura Research Institute Singapore Pte. Ltd. on "Key Points for Practical Talent Management."

While talent management is a top priority for every organization, the right approach looks different for everyone based on unique goals and circumstances. We hope the insights, strategies, and discussions shared yesterday provided valuable takeaways for all our attendees.

A huge thank you to Mr. Awamura, Mr. Muraoka, and Mr. Suwa for your incredible support and collaboration in making this event a success!

How do we move from solving surface-level problems to creating lasting societal change?

Our CEO Takashi Tsutsumi recently participated in the Yokohama module of the United In Diversity x MIT fellowship program. Alongside leaders from various Asian government agencies and corporations, he explored the principles of Theory U and engaged in vital dialogues on achieving a sustainable society. From these diverse perspectives, he gained profound insights on how we are driven by the systemic structures that lie beneath the surface.

Our sincere thanks to Frans for the wonderful facilitation, and we look forward to further discussions across the region!

There is nothing quite like the energy of learning together across borders!

Our director Jake Pratley is currently supporting a joint initiative between GLOBIS University and Chulalongkorn Business School in Bangkok. MBA students are exploring the intersection of business and sustainability through visits to local companies and government organisations.

We look forward to seeing our students integrate these sustainability lessons into their kokorozashi!

Great to catch up with alumni while on the road! Our CEO Takashi Tsutsumi reconnected with GLOBIS MBA graduate Yuki Kono during a recent trip to Taiwan.

With over 10,000 GLOBIS MBA graduates around the world, friends are never far away!

The April term is officially underway at GLOBIS Asia Campus!

Our Essentials of Marketing and Strategy Pre-MBA students hit the ground running on Tuesday night with a deep dive into the disruptive strategy of QB House. It was fantastic to see everyone deconstructing how a low-cost leader redefined the Japanese barber industry through pure strategic focus.

We look forward to more exciting discussions and growth over the next three months!

What an energetic two days of learning in Malaysia!

We recently joined forces with JCorp Academy for an intensive Critical Thinking Program. Twenty participants from Johor Corporation, KPJ Healthcare Berhad, and Johor Skills Development Centre joined to sharpen their systematic thinking and logical communication skills.

We look forward to seeing these new tools in action to drive business growth across the region!

Not every global success story starts by following the rules.

Japanese giant Uniqlo built its business by doing the opposite. Instead of chasing trends, they focused on long-term value, investing in material innovation and refining a supply chain built for precision.

That discipline turned UNIQLO into a $20B global brand.

The Quiet Revolution: How UNIQLO Engineered Fashion's Most Unconventional Success Story - GLOBIS Europe UNIQLO spent decades perfecting fabric, built stores with RFID-powered shopping carts, and somehow engineered underwear that keeps you warm in winter. The Japanese brand closed 2024 with over $20 billion in revenue, making it one of the world's top apparel retailers.

What an incredible journey!

After nine months of intensive learning, we have wrapped up our first cohort with LIXIL International. Thank you to everyone for the energy and openness you brought to the program! We are deeply impressed by the consistent commitment shown by both senior leaders and participants to developing their leadership mindsets. Seeing these new perspectives put into practice is exactly why we do what we do.

We look forward to future opportunities to build on this collaboration!

What a great couple of days in Mito!

Our Director Jake Pratley recently joined the annual GLOBIS retreat to reconnect with colleagues from Japan and around the world. It was a fantastic opportunity to discuss our long-term strategy while enjoying the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom.

We are feeling inspired and ready for the year ahead!
