Targeted, Specific Solutions for Japanese Companies in the US

The road to solution involves gathering information from everyone involved and a careful analysis of that information. The recommended solution steps may include on-site customized seminars & workshops.

Based on our experience of what works in Japanese invested companies, we have developed specialized training materials. Based on our research, practical consultations, and actual working experience, these seminars help US Japanese investments adapt team-oriented and quality-conscious approaches to management by addressing the real problems and issues they are facing today. These materials have evolved continuously, with improvements being made following each delivery in accord with feedback from participants.

If on-site seminars and workshops are part of the resolution process, we customize and enhance our traning materials to fit your environment. Training services are typically conducted by a team of our Japanese and American consultants. We find these cross-cultural consulting teams are extremely effective working with Japanese investments in the United States.

Other possible solutions involve meeting with and advising selected managers on a regular basis. Audits of selected departments and/or processes may be required.
