Team Training Japan

The Team Training Japan is designed for German-Japanese teams that work together in a real or virtual setting and wish to improve their co-operation. Minimising friction losses and miscommunication, using cultural differences in a constructive way, fixing new team rules – these are the main goals of an Access Culture team workshop.

Structure Team Training Japan

The Team Training Japan has a customized and flexible design. It typically takes 2 or 3 days and is held in German, Japanese and / or English language. In an ideal setting it is moderated by a German-Japanese trainer team. It is also possible to book a single coach. Group practises in various constellations, discussions and up-to-date case studies are the main pillars of our interactive, hands-on training approach.
