Joint Ventures and Japanese Culture

It is always interesting to talk through the cultural dynamics of entering into a potential joint venture  in Japan with a client.  Joint ventures are, at any time, a mine field but when you overlay the complexities of Japanese business culture, things start to get really tricky. I’m always sceptical about overseas joint ventures – […]

China Supply Chain Culture

Today saw me in Scotland working with a client in the aerospace and defence industry who are looking to ramp up their supply chain capabilities in China.  Despite the fact that this company is a US listed entity they are still looking to move more supply chain operations into mainland China which seems a little […]

Boris, Brexit & Cultural Awareness

A pretty big event happened in the UK today with the coronation of Boris Johnson by the conservative party members as the country’s next Prime Minister.  I’m sure he is delighted and we all wish him well – but it’s not really a job many would take on at this time, is it? He is […]

Insurance Sector Cultural Mentoring

I always enjoy the one-to-one mentoring I do with executives and today saw me spend some time with a senior leader in the insurance sector who specialises in the fast growing aviation sector.

Pitch Training for Global Law Firms

One of the highlights of my year is working on the four Management Academy II programmes run by DLA Piper for senior associates and legal directors each year.  These are run in various global locations and the June iteration always takes place in Hong Kong – on this occasion a very wet Hong Kong! I […]

Cultural Awareness for NextGen Lawyers

I always greatly enjoy going to New York in June to work with the next generation of lawyers who are taking part in Clifford Chance’s summer vacation schemes. These nextgen lawyers are generally approaching the end of their studies and just about to embark on a career as an international lawyer with one of the […]

Japanese Business Culture

Over the years Global Business Culture has done a lot of work on the UK-Japan business corridor – mainly with the subsidiaries of Japanese companies who are located in the UK.  This work is mainly with UK employees who are keen to develop a better understanding of the business culture in Japan – which they […]

Spain-Germany Cultural Differences

I had a particulary fascinating day today in Stuttgart working with the German subsidiary of a Spanish parent company.  The day was particularly fascinating because it highlighted how incredibly important cultural differences are when you are running an operation across multiple countries. The day started off with an exploration of the key Spain-Germany cultural differences […]
