Knowledge Partners celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2017.
Privately, it was a very fulfilling 10 years with environmental changes such as marriage and child rearing.
In the work relationship, there was a severe environmental change such as recession due to the subprime problem and a sharp decline in the number of patent applications, but I believe that we have managed the office relatively steadily until then. 
Management stability is a desire, but if you are satisfied with maintaining the status quo, it is not stable but stagnation. So I reviewed the ToDo list on this occasion which is the tenth anniversary. From this year I would like to act a little at a time.

Information dissemination to the outside

We renewed website. I will restart my blog. I want to prevent fade-out this time. Ideal to meet people who can respect them through websites and blogs.

Group study

Although I had an excuse that I was kept busy, I thought that study group of practitioners was extremely effective for self-improvement. I plan to invite participants by deciding the outline soon. I hope the participants will be gathered on a scale that allows meaningful discussion.

Visit Overseas Attorneys

I have visited overseas attorneies. The busy season of the industry ends in March, and the workload is relatively small in April and May, so even if it is planned to be absent for about one week I can do it without difficulty. It was a good opportunity to be aware of how Knowledge Partners would look from the outside. I want to go out on a regular business trip on a regular basis.

In the next decade, in order to continue to be the expected office for the next decade, I think that we will make an organization that can respond to change.
