Helping Japanese companies to globalize
J-Global is a Global Transformation company. We help Japan-based organizations manage the intercultural change necessary to operate effectively in a mixed Japanese/Global business environment.
The J-Global difference
Our learning products and consulting solutions make global transformation possible by minimizing the friction between the people and the business processes of different cultures.
At the core of all of our products and solutions is the J-Global Way, a hybrid management framework that combines the best features of Japanese team-based workstyle and Global business practices. The J-Global Way gives people on both sides of the cultural divide a way to understand, support and implement the actions needed to achieve global transformation.
Helping Japanese companies to globalize
J-Global is creating a better way of doing business for culturally diverse, Japan-based companies that are operating worldwide. We are an intercultural management services company driven by a single-minded mission: to help Japan grow and prosper in global business. Japan→Global: it’s in our name.
Why J-Global?
Is your company finding its best growth opportunities outside of Japan?
Many Japanese companies in that situation find that their people – both Japanese and overseas staff – are not well-equipped to succeed in a mixed Japanese-global business environment. Even top talent may lack the right mindset, skills and organizational support. Managing a global network with little or no direct human contact, as we all do in our post-Corona new normal, only creates new challenges.
J-Global is here to help companies and their people to globalize more effectively.
We have developed powerful new cross-cultural management and communication practices that combine Japan’s team-based methods with the fast-paced and competitive global business style. The J-Global Way is fast, efficient and easily understood and practiced by Japanese and overseas personnel because it contains elements familiar to both. It’s a great way to bridge the gap between business cultures.
By adopting J-Global practices, the companies we work with have been able to lower costs, boost productivity, increase staff motivation and retention, and create a common sense of purpose throughout their international networks.
Let J-Global help turn your global challenge into an opportunity for competitive advantage.

Custom training
Uniquely engaging and effective learning programs designed to achieve lasting transformation.
Build intercultural business mindsets and skills that bring everyone in your organization into one global team.
It takes a special style of learning to master the skills your workforce needs to thrive in today’s global business. Traditional classroom training and webinars can pass on information, but it cannot change minds, behaviors, attitudes and cultural competencies.
Our popular training programs have given thousands of participants the skills and mindset to manage global business with confidence. The programs are interactive, engaging, action-oriented, fully bilingual and intercultural – whether conducted face-to-face or remotely online.
J-Global Live Learning
Can remote learning really replace the face-to-face training we’ve been relying on?
Discover how live learning online can be not only more efficient, but a more engaging and effective learning experience.
For years, our popular interactive face-to-face seminars on inter-cultural business methods have given thousands of participants the skills and mindset to manage global business with confidence. All along, we’ve been exploring how to create the same excitement and sense of accomplishment online. It turns out our pioneering, state-of-the art methods came along at just the right time.
Now that you’re doing much (or all) of your learning remotely, it’s the right time to experience our online seminars for yourself. You may be surprised to discover how a Zoom seminar can be not only informative and motivating, but actually fun. And because our seminars are designed to work in a bilingual environment, they are perfect for getting your global teams working together and communicating effectively.

Online programs that allow your staff can learn essential global business skills whenever they want on any device used to be the wave of the future. Now they are an urgent necessity.
J-Global’s Microlearning Plus methodology takes Digital Learning a step further. It combines video instruction with animation, quizzes, advice sessions and other elements to create a uniquely engaging and interactive learning experience.
Our Digital Learning programs are not theoretical classroom courses. They are based on real-world global business issues and solutions developed through our TeamTalent engagements. Participants will learn and practice highly practical skills that they can apply immediately to their day-to-day business. It’s the perfect way to learn in our uncertain post-Corona environment.
