Development of global human resources has been a necessary condition to survive and various organizations have made so much effort on the issue however what are real global human resources?

Human Skills Academy have worked with many nationalities in the international scene over two decades and once again kept asking what requirements are to develop Japanese people as global human resources. Speaking other languages is not sufficient, rather there are some more important things for Global human resources such as; respect and curiosity for cultures, flexibility for difference, compassion, toughness, humor, determination, persuasion, ability to letting go sometimes which we strongly believe we can learn.

Human Skills Academy offers you some unique programs which cover wide range of the knowledge, skills and mindset.

<Problems caused by difference of cultures>

Now that contact with people from different cultures has become a daily matter, we do not have so much opportunities to learn about cultures and how to cope with differences. In fact, 70-75% of cross-cultural mergers, alliances and joint ventures are still unsuccessful or have serious cultural conflicts. Our programs also cover the reasons and the solutions for these problems but also how to prevent them.

■ Multi-cultural team building - how to make most of differences

What is the difference between a normal team and an excellent team? In order to form an excellent team, we begin to learn about thinking styles, to understand, enjoy and make most of our differences.

Thinking style is “habit of our brain “which determine how we gather information, how we give meanings, influence what we choose and how to behave. It affects our strong points but also the possibilities of conflicts among certain members and only knowing how they work, we can transform them into the wonderful complementary relationship.

And it is the combinations of thinking styles that form cultures. If we analyze cultures from this point of view, the cultural differences in our daily behaviors, communications, concepts and value we care for and management styles become very clear.

You can also discover how your personal culture looks like. It is surprising that very often you can discover a person from a different country is culturally much nearer to you than another from the same country. Through a very unique exercise, we can also try some thinking styles you seldom use in your business.

1. Analyse your thinking styles individually

2. Analyse your thinking styles as group (corporate culture)

3. Cultures as combination of thinking styles – with daily examples

4. Exercise– commercial negotiation using thinking styles you seldom use

5. Question - How we can make use of it as a team?


■ Action & feedback loop– bringing what we discover into actions

Doing activities and games in open air, with certain difficulties or motive of conflicts, we will do an actual practice. Before starting, we will set up some important points and share roles.

After practice, feedbacks and reflection such as; Did we make most of everyone’s’ strong points in terms of thinking styles, did we think about our shared vision, what will I do better next time personally and as a team, etc.

1. Alignment as a team

2. Organizing activities in terms of a team

3. Activities

4. Feedback and reflections
