JSRP Advisory — Ongoing Support for Teams Working with Japan

For teams whose Japan work never stops: key-account managers, European operations of Japanese groups, global teams with a standing Japan agenda. We stay on the case — preparing the meetings that matter, debriefing what actually happened, and keeping your maps current as the people and politics move.

Fit and rhythm

The discipline, kept running.

This is for you if

You recognise your situation here

  • Your team deals with Japanese counterparts or head office every week, not once
  • A Sprint or JSRP - JP HQ Alignment worked — and you want the new practice to survive contact with reality
  • Meetings with Japan keep producing surprises you would rather have seen coming
  • You want a standing outside read before you send the document that matters
What happens

A monthly working rhythm

  • Pre-meeting preparation — agenda design, likely questions, what to confirm and what not to decide
  • Debriefs & response analysis — what the reply, the silence or the repeat question actually signals
  • Proposal & correspondence review — read the way the Japanese side will read it, before it goes out
  • Map maintenance — stakeholder and decision maps updated as people rotate and positions shift

What you receive

Fewer surprises, per month.

Advisory is measured in meetings that go the way you prepared them to.
