How to succeed in Global Projects by Japanese Way

Introduction

Identify the characteristic of Japanese Way and apply for Project Management.

We have to lead global projects with international project members in Japanese way

Non-Japanese members are difficult to identify Japanese Customs and business styles

Every Group member understand and respects Japanese way

Our core competence is harmony

Today we are going to talk about execution and the details 

First the characteristics of Japanese Project Management execution

The decision making is done by Project Team Members as a group through discussion and agreement

Japanese approach for decision making is a bottom up approach

Three detailed aspects of Japanese problem solving

First Cost cutting is not done by laying off people which might disturb the Harmony of staff members.

Second catching up on the schedule is done by the team member by overtime work, not by hiring new members

Third the higher quality is made by the higher motivation of the workers

Conclusion

Non-Japanese members are difficult to identify Japanese Customs and business styles

Our core competence is harmony
