「変化を好きな者はいない」 ― 生き残るためのカギ

前回に続き、先に紹介したワールドマーケティングサミット東京2017から、富士フイルムホールディングス 代表取締役会長 CEO 古森 重隆 氏をはじめとするゲスト登壇者の講演前半をまとめます。

同サミットの設立者であるフィリップ・コトラー氏に賛辞を送られて登壇した古森氏は、「（自身は）営業出身。マーケティングで押さえているのは4P程度で、書籍を数多く読んだわけではない」とまず前置きし、コトラー氏と共鳴する経営理念および経営現場について語りました。

古森氏は、1934年に銀を使った写真フイルム事業で創業した富士フイルムにおいて、カラーフイルムの世界需要がピークを迎えた2000年に社長に就任し、以後10年足らずで100分の1へと市場が縮小する中、アンゾフのマトリックスをもとに市場戦略を展開しV字回復を実現した取り組みを紹介しました。富士フイルムが1980年代から進めていた映像画像のデジタル化、デジタルカメラの開発、周辺事業の拡大によるデジタル変革を進める一方で、医薬品、化粧品、高機能材料などの新規分野への進出を加速。また、複合機などの事務機事業を持つグループ企業、富士ゼロックスを統合し、写真以外の事業強化を進めました。あわせて、希望者を対象に割り増し退職金を伴うリストラ、写真関連特約店の経営権買い上げや現像所、生産設備などのリストラにより、痛みを低減しながら構造改革を実施しました。

ここで古森氏は改めて、企業としての目的を、「写真文化を守ること」「世の中が価値あると認める商品やサービス、技術力に基づく優れた製品を提供すること」、そしてゴールを、「変化を先回りし、次の世の中のために投資し、発展し続ける企業」と定義しました。

そして、「自身は経営者として舵取りをしただけ、実際に実務をやったのは社員」と述べ、経営者の任務を、「3年先、5年先と経済や経営の環境を読み取る。全部に目を光らせ、変な兆候、匂いがあったら気づく」「リーダーとしての哲学と大局観を持つ。左脳のロジック、右脳のロマンをもって有事には全身全力で正しい方向性を示す」「社員ひとりひとりに明確なメッセージを発信する」と述べ、猛烈なスピード、ダイナミックさ、優先順位付けにより戦い抜く強烈な意思を示しました。

■変化は必ず最初に機能停止をもたらす

Tribeca Flashpoint Collegeなどの起業スクール運営ほか起業支援事業を行う米1871社 CEOのハワード・トゥルマン氏は、「変化を好きな者はいない。変化は必ず最初に機能停止をもたらす」としながら、３Dプリンター、ドローン、複合現実などのテクノロジーにより新しいビジネスが生まれ、データ、注目(attention)、脈絡（context）などの価値が高まるトレンドを解説しました。そしてAmazon Hubの宅配ロッカー、Amazon Keyの不在時宅配などがもたらす消費における「時間」概念の変化、テキストからボイスへのメッセージの置換、「今」のニーズに応えるRight Nowエコノミーなどを例に挙げながら、市場淘汰されないためのカギとなるトレンドを説明しました。

■マーケティングはサイエンスかアートか？

西ESADEビジネススクール教授でミュージシャンであるサルバドール・ロペス氏は、音楽とマーケティングを比較しイノベーションのために役立つ知見を述べました。先のコトラー氏がマーケティングにおける数値の重要性を述べたのに対し、ロペス氏は、ファンを突き動かすミュージシャンのマーケターとしての本質を解き、自らギターを弾きながら「マーケティングはサイエンスかアートか？」と質問を投げ、両方をかけ合わせハイブリッド化することが重要と提言。何を混ぜられるか、何か新しいことを作り出すのに他の誰とコラボできるか、先入観をマインドハックで破りどのルールを破れるか、どうやってファンをSNSなどで強くできるか、ファンのためにもっと何ができるか、AIで自分のブランドをもっと人らしくできるか、どうやってもっと仕事を楽しめるか、どうやって会社を通してもっと良い世界を作れるか、といった人間の本質に問いかけました。

Angry Users Delete ‘HQ Trivia’ App After Trump Supporter Peter Thiel Becomes Major Investor

HQ Trivia, the gaming phenomenon which often attracts more than a million people on their mobile devices to its cash-awarding daily live trivia challenges, is facing calls for users to delete the app after it was revealed that Trump supporter Peter Thiel is the main investor behind a new $15 million round of funding.

Thiel, a billionaire who co-founded PayPal, donated $1.25 million to the Trump campaign through a combination of super PAC donations and funds given directly. Thiel also funded a lawsuit by Hulk Hogan in order to destroy the media company Gawker for outing him.

Thiel, who announced he was “proud to be gay” at the Republican National Convention in 2016, said he was confident Trump would expand and not restrict LGBT rights as president.

Thiel made waves at the RNCC when he publicly endorsed Trump, slammed “fake culture wars”, and said of transgender bathroom rights, “who cares?”

Said Thiel at the time, “I don’t pretend to agree with every plank in our party’s platform but fake culture wars only distract us from our country’s decline, and nobody in this campaign is being honest about it but Donald Trump.”

In September 2016, reports circulated that Thiel was telling friends Trump would appoint him to the Supreme Court if elected president.

Thiel made headlines back in December when it was revealed that his venture capital firm is the sole backer of Yass, a new members-only LGBTQ “co-working space and social club” in San Francisco.

To summarize:

Peter Thiel is now involved
Alleged bad behavior by co-founder towards women
It’s not fun anymore anyway

Donald Trump Says Republican Memo Vindicates Him In Russia Probe
Donald Trump claims that a controversial memo attacking federal law enforcement written by congressional Republicans vindicates him in the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.

Trump’s fervent embrace of the memo on Saturday raised again the prospect that he may use it as justification to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, who is conducting the probe, or Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller, Reuters reported.

Tweeting from his resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said the memo “totally vindicates” him but added “the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their (sic) was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction.” He called the investigation “an American disgrace”.

This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

February 3, 2018
The White House told Reuters on Friday there would be no changes at the Justice Department as a result of the memo’s conclusions.

The memo, written by Republicans on the US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee chaired by Devin Nunes, argues the federal investigation of potential collusion betweenTrump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia was a product of political bias against Trump at the FBI and Justice Department.

Trump approved the release of the formerly classified memo without redactions, despite objections from the FBI in a move that deepens tension between the White House and senior law enforcement that has existed since Trump first took office.

Democrats contend the four-page memo mischaracterises highly sensitive classified information and was intended to undermine the Mueller criminal probe that was launched in May 2017 as an outgrowth of an earlier FBI investigation.

Jerrold Nadler, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that Trump’s decision to allow the release of the memo was “part of a coordinated propaganda effort to discredit, disable and defeat the Russia investigation”.

Some Republicans were also critical of the memo’s release. John Kasich, the governor of Ohio and a former rival of Trump’s for the presidential nomination, released a statement on Saturday calling it “a disservice to our country.”

Asked by reporters on Friday whether the memo made him more likely to fire Rosenstein or whether he had confidence in him, Trump replied, “You figure it out”.

Dismissing Rosenstein or Mueller would trigger a political firestorm much like the sacking of FBI Director James Comey by Trump last year.

Mueller also is examining whether Trump has obstructed justice in trying to thwart the Russia investigation.

QUESTIONS OF AUTHORITY

The memo alleges the FBI concealed the Democratic ties of a source the agency used to justify surveillance on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser with links to Russia. The memo revealed the names of senior FBI and Justice Department officials, including Rosenstein, who it said had signed off the surveillance.

The document was commissioned by Nunes, the Republican chairman of the House intelligence panel. He said it laid bare “serious violations of the public trust, and the American people have a right to know when officials in crucial institutions are abusing their authority for political purposes”.

Mueller’s investigation so far has led to guilty pleas by two of Trump’s foreign policy advisers on charges of lying to the FBI, and indictments of former campaign manager Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates.

On Friday, the Justice Department backed Mueller by dismissing a civil suit filed by Manafort claiming Rosenstein had exceeded his legal authority in giving Mueller “carte blanche”.

The Republican memo focused on court-approved surveillance of Page and said the FBI used a source who was strongly biased against Trump, former British spy Christopher Steele, to justify the action.

It alleged that a dossier of alleged Trump-Russia contacts compiled by Steele, and funded in part by Democrats, formed an “essential part” of requests to a special court to be allowed to conduct electronic surveillance on Page that began in October 2016.

Despite the memo’s charges, neither the focus on Page nor the FBI’s investigation of Trump-Russia ties began with the Steele dossier.

Page came to the FBI’s attention as early as 2013, when he met in New York with Russians who were officers of the Kremlin’s foreign intelligence service, sources have said.

The memo acknowledges that the FBI counterintelligence investigation began in July 2016, three months before the request for electronic surveillance on Page, as a result of the activities of another Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos.

Steve Vladeck, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Texas-Austin, said it was unprecedented for the president to feud so publicly with leaders of the US intelligence agencies.

“You do long-term damage to these institutions if you convince a large swath of the American public that they can’t be trusted,” he said.
