In November 2017, the SEKISUI Vision Caravan stopped by in Düsseldorf, Germany. The event took place to present the new Mid-Term Management Plan “SHIFT 2019 – FUSION” from top management to employees in management roles. None other than SEKISUI Chemical President & CEO Teiji Koge and Director & Managing Executive Officer Yoshiyuki Hirai gave deeper insights into the mid-term vision and the idea behind FUSION as part of the corporate philosophy.
To provide deeper insights into the corporate philosophy and what is planned for SEKISUI Chemical Group in the future, SEKISUI Chemical President & CEO Teiji Koge and Director & Managing Executive Officer Yoshiyuki Hirai flew to Düsseldorf, Germany in November 2017. They met the European management and shared with them detailed insights and deeper thoughts on the Mid-Term Management Plan. The participants were able to learn more about SEKISUI Chemical Group and understand corporate philosophy while having the chance to exchange with top management.
The event itself was designed as a mixture of presentations and workshops, so the participants could actively be part of the Vision Caravan and demonstrate the top management how good they understand the vision of SEKISUI Chemical Group. Everyone attending was assigned to a group of 6 persons – most members haven’t been in close contact before, but after a short self-introduction everyone was comfortable with the companions for the rest of the day.
The first part of the event was getting to know each other.
