SUMMARY:WEBINAR with Deloitte: Managing through the maelstrom: COVID-19 - a health and economic crisis
DESCRIPTION:Dear members\,\n  \nOur next WEBINAR will be a joint effort with Deloitte Japan and the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Japan: \n  \n“Managing through the maelstrom: COVID-19 – a health and economic crisis” \n  \nWhat started as a health crisis has morphed into an economic crisis. Navigating a state of emergency\, business leaders are challenged daily to attend to the needs of multiple stakeholders. Initial imperatives of ensuring employee safety\, and enabling operational continuity\, have been joined by concerns over supply chain integrity and changing modes of customer engagement. As budgets bend and forecast fracture\, financial risk is ever-present. The accelerated adoption of digital technologies has the potential to unlock exciting new business models and facilitate mobility and decentralized working – yet these virtues bring vulnerability. Amongst this complexity and uncertainty\, leaders must conceive and create their command center – an organizational response to these challenges that enables them to operate their business\, manage risk\, and ensure regulatory compliance. Supporting decision making today\, whilst planning for tomorrow. \n  \nTo help navigate these challenging times\, 5 Deloitte professionals (profiles in attachment) will share perspectives related to doing business in Japan during the COVID-19 emergency. \n  \nTopics will include: \n-Evolution of a crisis: \n\nJapan’s COVID-19 experience\nConsumer response\n\n-Relief measures: \n\nGovernment subsidies on employment adjustment\nSpecial loans from government supported institutions\nDeferral of tax payments\nCarryback of net operating losses\n\n-Financial reporting matters: \n\nAccounting and disclosure considerations\nImpact on forecasting and management estimates\n\n-Technology vision and vulnerability: \n\nThe effect of COVID-19 on the three most affected Cyber pillars (Phishing\, Cloud & Identity\, Home & Privacy)\nApplicable risk mitigations\nWay forward and best practices\n\n-Command center: evolution from rapid response to thoughtful recovery \n\nCommand Center Recover focus and organization\nDrive strategic conversation on building resilience\nCapture insight and prepare for change\n\n  \nEVENT DETAILS\nFriday 29 May\n11:30-12:30 (45 minutes presentation\, 15 minutes Q&A)\nIn ENGLISH\nFree of charge\nMembers-only \n  \nIf you are interested\, please send an email to info@blccj.or.jp before Thursday 28 May 18:00\, and we will confirm your registration. \n  \nThis webinar will be conducted via ZOOM.
