There's a lot of discussion going on in Japan about the changing
workplace - digital transformation, diversity and
inclusion, sustainability and innovation - but it's in Japanese. Our aim is to help you have an
informed conversation about these topics with your Japanese colleagues
and influence how your company develops.
The Kaiseki Club is based on the concepts behind kaiseki - a Japanese banquet of many courses, each with "small portions, subtle flavors, artful presentation, and an emphasis on fresh seasonal ingredients."
Each month Kaiseki Club members will receive a podcast on succeeding in a Japanese company, with links to related articles and books and an opportunity to participate in an online discussion on the topic.
It's designed for people who are working for Japanese companies, may already have attended one of our "Working Effectively with Japanese Colleagues" courses or at least have an understanding of the basic cultural issues.
