Dean's New Year Message for 2023

New Year's Greetings from Hitotsubashi ICS!

From Emi Osono, Dean and Professor

From all of us at Hitotsubashi ICS, I send the warmest wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2023.

In recent years, like the rest of the world, we at ICS have been navigating changes created by the pandemic. And in 2022, particularly following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we strengthened our resolve to continuously prepare ourselves for events that we recognize as logically possible but which we consider to be unlikely or undesirable. Such events are often exogenous, and at other times they are the result of our own past conduct, as in the case of climate change. In both situations, with a leadership mindset we move forward with the conviction that there are always ways to contribute to solutions, or at the very least, to reduce the damage. In these challenging global circumstances, people, organizations, communities and societies are taking action, creating new systems and ways of working together, and inspiring each other: leading the way.
