Nissan LPIE Participants Report on Group Research
Videoconference Provides Opportunity for Review
Participants in this year’s Nissan Leadership Program for Innovative Engineers (Nissan LPIE) had an opportunity to present their findings via videoconference on February 24, 2007. The TDLC has been collaborating with the Program to provide GDLN services to organize VC sessions enabling cross-regional discussions between participants and distinguished leaders in business and society.
The session was the final VC for this 9 month term, and 17 participants from Tokyo and Kyoto, working in 3 groups, connected to report on their projects.
From Washington D.C., Project Director Sawako Takeuchi, Kyoto University Professor, greeted the group, and Professor Richard Lester, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Director, Industrial Performance Center, provided feedback as Advisor to the Project. The Nissan LPIE was announced in March 2006 by Nissan CEO Mr. Carlos Ghosn. It aims to nurture global leaders with backgrounds in natural science, capable of creating next-generation business models through a profound understanding of science and technology and its relationship to diverse social needs. The TDLC will continue to support the program in the coming term to contribute to further enrichment of the program.
