In the beginning, Acn. Lars Sorqvist (President elect) chaired the meeting and briefed the agenda of this leader meeting.

Firstly, Acn. Shinichi Sasaki (President) shared IAQ direction and approach.  He proposed the IAQ new term for our discussion below:

1.      To Strengthen IAQ activities to correspond to changing Society Demands cause of new technology advancement.

3.      Vitalizing IAQ activities more.

Then he redefined “Quality-Oriented Management” (QOM) that create value for customers and to maximize the corporate value.  The action approach of QOM was demonstrated in the following diagram.

And then Acn. Shinichi Sasaki started from quality management of Toyota to enhancing both social and customer value for sustainable society.  Creating Happiness of Humanity through resolving Social issues, Toyota would transform from Car-making Company to Mobility Company.  So the future fields of IAQ contribution could make reference to Toyota so as to developing sustainable new society.

Finally, Acn. Sasaki discussed IAQ focus directions to contribute for Society in which compared between company perspective and academy perspective in terms of sustainability.
