【Unusual opportunity to know what’s inside a Japanese head】
I am delivering “Workshop for Cross-Cultural Understanding with Japan”, an open workshop of Swiss-Japanese Chamber of Commerce (SJCC).
Are these your problems?
“The Japanese decision-making process is so mysterious!”
“I don’t know if I’m interacting well with my Japanese colleagues.”
“Why do the Japanese always do things in their own way?”
“How can I say ‘No’ to my Japanese customers without offending them?”
“Japanese customers don’t complain when they are not satisfied with our service, but they just never come back to us.”
If you say “Yes!” to one of the problems above, this workshop is for you. The workshop will enable you to learn about the internal drivers of your Japanese business partners and colleagues.
Topics discussed —
Why is culture in business so important?
The trap of “cultural bias”
Major factors underlying Japanese business culture
Five clues to increase productivity in working with the Japanese
in cooperation with Swiss-Japanese Chamber of Commerce

What is going on inside the head of your Japanese business partner?
A unique workshop will take place enabling you to visit the inner workings of your Japanese business partners and clients.
The workshop will be interactive. You will be challenged by practical situations, which many Swiss people encounter. You will learn how to work better with your Japanese contacts and benefit more from your exposure to Japanese culture.
Please bring your specific problems and challenges with Japan to the workshop. A Japanese senior insider will examine the problems with you on site and help find solutions.
