FUTURE FIT SUCCESSION
DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HIGH-IMPACT LEADERS

 

Date : July 2, 2026 (Thu) | Time: 9 AM - 11 AM


Stop guessing who your next leaders are. Build the pipeline before you need it.

As an HR leader, one of your most pressing challenges is not just finding talent, it is making sure the right people are ready to lead when you need them. Too often, succession planning only becomes urgent when someone resigns, retires, or is headhunted. By then, it is already too late.

  • 86% of leaders say succession is an urgent priority
  • 14% believe their organization actually executes it well
  • $1T in market value lost annually to poor leadership transitions

We are pleased to invite you to a CCI France Japon HR Breakfast with Zane INGLIS, Founder and CEO of ONhance, and special guest Jun SUGISE, President, Managing Executive, Merck Ltd.

In this practical, one-hour session, Zane will walk you through the Future Fit Succession framework, a field-tested approach to identifying, developing, and retaining future leaders, built on 20 years of real-world coaching and consulting experience across 35 industries.

You will leave with tools you can apply immediately, not just ideas to think about.

 

SESSION OVERVIEW


9:15AM - 9:45AM - Zane INGLIS from ONhance will cover:

  • The Succession Reality
  • Japan Talent Drought
  • 3 Pillars of Future Fit Succession
  • Sample project framework

9:45AM - 10:30AM - Jun SUGISE from Merck will cover:

  • Real-World Success Story 

10:30AM - 11:00AM 

  • Q&A

 

THE SESSION WILL COVER

  • How to build a compelling Internal Vision that gives your high-potentials a clear reason to commit to your organization, and develop themselves to become your next generation of future-fit leaders,  rather than looking elsewhere.
  • How to shift from gut-feel promotions to identifying future leaders using an objective and structured matrix  so the right people are visible and ready before an unforeseen vacancy forces your hand.
  • How to build a proactive, field-based coaching culture where development activities are continuous, not a one-off workshop  so that when a leadership opportunity arises, you have a ready successor, not a recruitment crisis.


THE JAPAN TALENT DROUGHT

This presentation will include current recruitment market insights and practical recommendations from Ryan Shepard, Client Partner, RGF Executive Search  to ensure your company is prepared, should you need to go to market to fill a leadership position.

 

REAL-WORLD SUCCESS STORY - MERCK LTD. JAPAN

Jun Sugise will share first-hand how Merck Ltd. Japan built a coaching culture that identified and developed future leaders at every level of the organization  including Jun himself, who progressed from BU Head to President, Managing Executive through this very process. 
It is a story your organization could replicate.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This HR Breakfast is not a training session. It is designed to bring together the HR community in Japan, along with professionals interested in the topic, to exchange perspectives and engage in meaningful discussions with the speakers and fellow participants. 
As this is a community event the presentation is intentionally concise, leaving ample time for questions, interaction, and peer exchange.
