J-Global TeamTalent™
How to thrive in a Japan-Global business environment
Let us help you remove friction between Japanese and global business mindsets to create a smoothly functioning one-company culture.
When Japanese companies operate internationally, they compete in the global arena, playing by global rules. But inside those companies, their people function in a mixed Japan-Global environment, where different rules apply.
That mixture of people and cultures is all too often dysfunctional. It produces communications issues and cultural misunderstandings that can throw a company’s entire globalization effort off track.
But it doesn’t have to be like that. Managed properly, a meeting of different business cultures can create opportunities.
And that’s where J-Globals TeamTalent services can help. We work with organizations to take the best features of Japanese and global cultures and build them into a single, company-wide hybrid “J-Global” management system. Globalization works so much better if everyone can work together, playing by the same rules.

Globalization issues
We wanted to know what are the biggest issues confronting globalizing companies today, during the post-Coroda period, so we asked our clients. These are the 4 issues they mentioned most often:
Global HR system
Managing people in multiple overseas operations in a unified, systematic way.
Staff retention
Boosting the satisfaction and engagement of overseas staff.
Skills transfer
Ensuring that key skills are successfully transferred from Japanese experts to local staff.
Intercultural communication
Solving poor communication between Japanese and non-Japanese staff.
Do these issues sound familiar? All are symptoms of a mal-functioning Japan-Global environment. Left unsolved, any of them can slow down recovery and become a major barrier to future global growth. TeamTalent can help.
The Team Talent™ concept
The TeamTalent approach is a completely new way of solving global business problems — very different from the way most consulting companies work.
Our approach
TeamTalent services are based on the J-Global Way, an ideal blend of the best Japanese and global business practices. the J-Global Way is easily understood and practiced by Japanese and overseas personnel because it contains elements familiar to both. It eliminates gaps between business cultures.
Our philosophy
We believe that you know your business better than anyone and that the solutions to your problems exist within your organization. Rather than offer standard solutions based on pre-packaged outside expertise, TeamTalent helps you to identify core issues, discover ways to improve within your organization, and implement practical projects.
Our methods
The facilitation model at the core of our working style invites the full engagement of our clients in the problem-solving and change-management process. It is fast, practical, results-oriented and cost-effective. Our services typically find and implement solutions 3 to 5 times faster than typical consulting engagements.
TeamTalent™ services
Our TeamTalent teams of experts are available for full-time engagement in cases where companies require support for major long-term projects.
Other companies are looking for solutions to particular issues, and for these occasions we offer a range of targeted services.
Global HR Roadmap
The Global HR Roadmap is a structured and highly practical 3-phase process for planning and building a functional network-wide global HR system. We will guide you step-by-step through needs assessment, program planning and creation of a pilot implementation project.
