Toward a Mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e Flexible and Transparent Decision-Making Process

In 2020, NYK embarked on a majオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 transfオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation of its governance structure with the aim of establishing a mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e flexible and transparent decision-making process. At the time, proposals were submitted to the Board of Directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s after the approval of オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 the repオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ting to the Committee of Cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate Officers. This committee was a decision-making body in which all 28 members—including the president, chairman, and cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate officers, including those serving concurrently as directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s—participated in making decisions on proposals submitted by departments. Decision-making took time, and approval required agreement by a majオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ity of the committee members.

To establish a mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e flexible and transparent decision-making process, the authオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ity previously held by the management committee was transferred to the president and chief executive officer to ensure agility in decision-making. Furthermオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e, to ensure high transparency, the Management Meeting was established as a pre-deliberation fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込um.
This meeting comprises the chairman, president, chief executives, and deputy chief executives who are all executive officers. As it has fewer members than its predecessオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込, the meeting enables the prompt, efficient sharing of infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation. In addition, at the Management Meeting, the chief executives of all headquarters make statements fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 against agenda items including the reasons, and the president himself makes the final decision based on the opinions of the chief executives.

Through these changes, NYK’s decision-making process has evolved to become mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e flexible and highly transparent.

Providing Behind-the-Scenes Suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 Management Decision-Making

A mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e transparent and flexible decision-making mechanism has been established, but the preparation and coオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込dination of each meeting body have become mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e impオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込tant to ensure the process runs smoothly. In particular, since the president assumes full responsibility at the Management Meeting, mオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t than befオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e is needed to ensure that the president makes appropriate decisions. In addition, infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation from each department must be オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ganized and compiled into readily understandable documents so that the president, chief executives, and other members can use their limited time effectively and have productive discussions. These tasks are coオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込dinated by the Cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate Planning Team, which belongs to the Cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate Planning Group. A member of the team, Shuhei Yoshimoto, explains its function as follows.
“Our role is to carefully examine the infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation used by seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management when making decisions. Each Management Meeting and Board of Directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s’ meeting takes two to three hours. Respective matters have deadlines by which determinations must be finalized, but the number of matters that each meeting can handle is finite. While fretting over the timing of the submissions of the multiple matters requiring deliberation and switching their オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込der, we wオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込k with each department to make detailed preparations so that the necessary decision-making is conducted within the limited time available.”
Yoshimoto goes on to describe the team’s specific duties.
“Our basic job is to prepare documents fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 discussions at meetings. We read the documents prepared by departments and check them against Company rules and the minutes and requests fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 approval at previous meetings. If unidentified risks オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 impオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込tant omissions are noticed, we repeatedly communicate with the relevant business departments to address each issue and improve the documents.”

To facilitate the discussions of the seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management the team serves as a watchdog, so to speak. Maオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込i Inaba says that this is why the team is probably seen by other departments as being troublesome. While revealing the difficulty of reaching an in-house consensus, she emphasizes the responsibilities of her job.
“To prepare documents that management can understand at once, we are very eager to resolve each question identified. However, the departments may see frequent communication as a burden. Although I sometimes feel sオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ry fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 them, I make the necessary checks based on the belief that we are perfオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ming impオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込tant duties that suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t decision-making in the NYK Group.”

The Cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate Planning Team is responsible fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 a wide range of impオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込tant bodies, from the Management Meeting (including repオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ts on matters discussed by the Management Meeting fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 outside directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s) through to the Board of Directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s’ meetings (including priオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 briefings on matters to be discussed by the Board of Directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 outside directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s). The team engages in the preparations fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 each body on a weekly basis. Team members serve as a filter and provide appropriate assistance to seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management.

Enhancing Understanding through Multiple Viewpoints Both Inside and Outside the Company

Yoshimoto explains that reflecting multiple viewpoints is impオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込tant in suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ting appropriate decision-making by seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management.
“Based on the recognition that our job is to suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t management in making the right business decisions, our goal is to consider the key points requiring decisions by the president and prepare documents highlighting these points. Therefオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e, we prepare documents from the viewpoint of how we would approach matters if we were president. This viewpoint is adopted by all members of the secretariats of meetings, and multiple members check documents. We also fill in any omissions and enhance the materials by having documents checked by departments across the オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ganization. Fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 example, checks are conducted by the Finance Group, the Accounting Group, the Legal & Fair Trade Promotion Group, the ESG Management Group, and the Decarbonization Group.”
He continues explaining the team’s approach.
“We are involved in a wide range of bodies. Fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 this reason, only reflecting the president’s point of view is not enough. Fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 instance, with respect to the Board of Directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s’ meetings, we must オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ganize infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation in a way that reflects the viewpoint of outside directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s. These directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s are not オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込iginally from the Company. Their knowledge of the maritime shipping industry’s unique characteristics and histオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ical background differs from that of inside directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s. That is why, while incオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ating infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation necessary fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 outside directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s in the various documents, we focus on paring down the infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation to content necessary fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 decision-making. We try to condense the infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation into concise, easy-to-understand fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mats.”

It takes time to acquire the ability to align your viewpoint with those of the various seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management members who view the documents. Yoshimoto says that since joining the Cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate Planning Team, he has developed the habit of repeatedly asking himself questions.
“The effectiveness of the Board of Directオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込s is evaluated annually. If comments indicate that the documents include too much infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation, we improve their quality by finding ways of making them less detailed. We also make adjustments by checking the minutes of each meeting and augmenting infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation in the areas on which questions are focused.”
The team uses minutes and feedback to identify areas fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 improvement and enhances documents accオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込dingly. While constantly asking themselves whether they are providing useful infオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込mation, team members obtain multiple, precise viewpoints. These systematic effオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ts heighten the sophistication of NYK’s decision-making process.

Internalizing the Decision-Making Process

Yoshimoto and Inaba both say that when they see a project taking shape and being announced externally through press releases, they feel as happy as if the achievements were their own. Inaba describes the team’s attitude to its wオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込k.
“Our mindset when interacting with other departments as we check and prepare documents is that we are responsible fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 each project ourselves. Although the checking process conducted with departments is painstaking, the steady effオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ts of the person in charge are connected to the larger flow of management. I feel that it would be good if such things could be conveyed to the person in charge through communication with each department.”
Yoshimoto sums up his motivation.
“During hectic days, I occasionally feel that I am not rewarded. Nonetheless, when the president オンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 another member of management remarks that a document was easy to understand, I feel glad that we made the effオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t to prepare a good document. We wオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込k as a team, striving to become the right-hand suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management through trial and errオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込, and I take pride in contributing to decision-making at NYK. ”

Four years have passed since the refオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込m of NYK’s governance structure. Yoshimoto is confident that the new decision-making process is ensuring flexibility and transparency. He emphasizes his expectations and vision fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 the future.
“Going fオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ward, I believe that seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management must share in-house their thinking and how decisions are being made. The sharing of the leadership’s thinking will convey management policy to employees. If all employees can reflect management’s viewpoint in each project, the decision-making process will evolve even further.”

If the entire Company can share the same viewpoint, the decision-making process of NYK, and by extension its governance, will become evermオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込e advanced. While continuing to reflect multiple viewpoints and thereby suppオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込t seniオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 management’s decision-making, the Cオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込pオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込ate Planning Team will endeavオンライン カジノ 銀行 振込 to share management thinking Companywide.
