How to Work with Jay Nakagawa

Most speakers talk about strategy. Jay Nakagawa is a different type of strategy speaker. He has spent his career building it, testing it, and helping organizations win with it.

​

Today, he speaks globally on the future of competitive intelligence, strategy, innovation, and AI-enabled decision making—bringing a practitioner’s perspective to audiences tired of theory without execution.

​

What makes his sessions different is simple: He doesn’t just study strategy …. Instead, he builds the systems organizations use to compete.

​

 His talks connect the dots. He does it for his keynotes, executive briefings, leadership offsite retreats, workshops, panels, and masterclasses. He does it with his clearer way to think about competition; his practical ideas they can apply immediately; and a better understanding of how strategy actually succeeds inside organizations.

​

Great presentations have four essential components.

• Challenge how participants think.

• Give participants something they can use Monday morning. 

• Outlast longer than any slide will.

• Change how participants see the game.
