Our consultation and development activities focus on four areas.

Many cultural issues arise simply because the people involved do not understand each other. We focus on bringing the sides together and helping them reach greater understanding. We strive to create a common ground on which all parties can build a productive and profitable future.

2. Growing the Organization . . .

New and expanding companies frequently experience growing pains. Differences in cultural practices and expectations can add to the distress. Sometimes the solution is sensitivity training about working with people of different cultures. Sometimes personnel and job requirements need to be realigned to create more suitable matches between skills and tasks. Sometimes personnel simply need to be able to speak out about their concerns, without fear of negative consequences. Whatever the solution turns out to be, we believe the most important step is to get people talking and listening to each other.

3. Focus on Quality . . . The Teamwork Advantage

Teamwork has played a significant role in the success of Japanese companies. If a Japanese operation is to thrive in the United States, its leadership must find a balance between the advantages of team work and the typical American individualistic nature.

Quality consciousness is fundamentally a mind set--an attitude--of personnel involved in constant improvement of many actions--the methods of accomplishing tasks and getting the job done. It can be summarized into the three cardinal actions of process culture:

1. No wastes,
2. No major deviations, and
3. No work under strenuous positions.

Quality consciousness begins with the efforts of one person, working from top executives to the team completing the job. The number of improvements, beginning with one person and spreading throughout the organizational structure to those completing the work, increases exponentially.

4. Meeting Today's Management Challenge . . . Preparing for Tomorrow

Managing a company to high productivity and profitability is not an easy task. To make management more difficult, it is a continously evolving practice. Management gurus continually come up with new concepts. Some of these concepts prove helpful, others make little sense. What works with one generation of workers may not work with another, as values change. We can help you identify those practices that have worked over the long term, and to determine if new practices have merit and should be considered for implementation.

The resolution to your company’s issues may involve more than one of the above areas. It is our job to make sure that whatever the solution turns out to be, it is designed specifically to solve your company's issues while keeping your long-term strategy in sight.
