Questions to Ask

How would you answer these questions?

Q.1 Have your so-called “global training consultants” visited international sites of your company’s?

Q.2 Aren’t your training materials based on the models and data researched about non-Japanese employees of non-Japanese companies by non-Japanese researchers?

Q.3 Do your training materials contain field information about the overseas sites of your company’s?

Q.4 Aren’t you in reality ending up leaving everything* to external consultants and sales of training vendors?

* crosscultural issues unique to your overseas operations, concrete profile of mindset and behaviors your global staff needs and your vision for global management strategy

Q.5 Which is more effective – global training in Japan or outside Japan?

Real, live field information is what is needed and critically lacking in Global Training in Japanese corporations.
