Drawing on Buddhist wisdom and contemporary leadership p ractice\, Mr. Matsumoto invites participants to rethink success not only i n terms of quarterly results\, but also through the lens of the legacy we leave behind.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a business environment often defined by ur gency\, growth\, and constant addition\, how can leaders cultivate the cla rity to make decisions that stand the test of time? In this thought-provok ing session\, Shoukei Matsumoto introduces the concept of becoming a "good ancestor" - someone who acts today in ways that future generations may lo ok back on with gratitude.\n\n\n\nDrawing from his experience as a Buddhis t monk\, author\, and advisor on responsible leadership\, Mr. Matsumoto ex plores how the practice of subtraction - letting go of what distracts\, ov erwhelms\, or no longer serves a meaningful purpose - can enhance decision -making\, support wellbeing\, and foster more sustainable leadership. By b ridging ancient contemplative traditions with the realities of modern orga nizations\, he offers practical insights into how individuals and business es can navigate complexity with greater purpose and care.\n\n\n\nThis sess ion will provide participants with a unique opportunity to reflect on lead ership beyond immediate outcomes and consider how values such as responsib ility\, intergenerational thinking\, and intentional action can shape stro nger organizations and societies.\n\n\n\nAmple time will be reserved for d iscussion\, allowing participants to engage directly with the speaker and explore how these ideas can be applied within their own professional and p ersonal contexts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate:Wednesday\, July 8\, 2026Schedule:12 :00 – 14:00 (D.O.: 11:45)Venue:Grand Hyatt Tokyo\, @Residence Anise6-10- 3 Roppongi\, Minato City\, Tokyo 106-0032 (MAP)Fee:• \;Members:  \;JPY 6\,500 or 1 SCCIJ voucher 2026• \;Non-members: \;JPY 9\,60 0Registration:*Deadline: July 3\, 2026\, 12:00 JST.**Until June 24\, reg istration is prioritized for SCCIJ members. After this date\, seats will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis.**No-shows and cancellat ions after the deadline will be fully charged.**Please inform us in advanc e of any dietary restrictions.*Concept:• \;This event consists in a 3-course lunch followed by a presentation (and Q&\;A).
