GBMC (Global Business & Management Corporation)

Competent, Quality Europe-Japan Business and Management Consulting

​​​​​In short

​We will teach you the importance of the "4Ps" in Japan:

• Patience: ​credibility and trust are key and can not be built overnight or even in a couple of months.
• ​Presence: you must be there on a regular basis, always contactable in person, as the face and the presence of your company.
• ​Presentation: you must tailor your behaviour, communications and "personal branding" to your Japanese audience!
• Perspective: you must see things from the viewpoint of someone with another background, in another business/social and religious culture from your own!

​

As to Doing Business in Europe, we will teach you:

• the differences in culture and background between citizens of key European countries as well as how to manage them.
• ​that the European Market and the US Market are very different!

"Philippe Huysveld played a key role as European Marketing Manager at Panasonic Europe. He brought a lot of passion to his role providing a key bridge between our Japanese factories and EU subsidiaries. As a Japanese speaker, he was key in maintaining relationships between our Japanese colleagues both in Japan and our expats in Europe. He was a friendly colleague who had a strong work commitment and ethics and was keen to develop himself and support others."

​Europe-Japan Business and Cross-cultural Training

​Philippe Huysveld and E. Motoko Inuyi offer in-house/company specific seminars (training customised and delivered on site for your company) as well as open business seminars (standard training open to all companies) in Paris and Brussels area (in GBMC's Training Centres).

​By providing extensive information/knowledge through these seminars, our aim is to INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS EITHER IN THE WORKPLACE, EITHER WHEN DOING BUSINESS.

​Depending on the audience/participants, ​seminars are available in ENGLISH, FRENCH and JAPANESE (most materials are in English however).

As to their content, training sessions cover Cross-cultural aspects as well as Business aspects related to "Doing Business with Japan", "Doing Business with the Japanese", "Doing Business with Europe" and "Doing Business with Europeans".

​In-house seminars are mainly given in Belgium or in Ile-de-France (Greater Paris area). When necessary, additional travel expenses are charged, depending on the location. However, for the rest of France, UK, Germany and the Netherlands, it would still be a competitive price.

About our Methodology

Our Training Programmes are:

• ​​Interactive: in order to achieve active participation by each participant , groups are kept to a reasonable size (from 4 to 8 people). Questions and comments are welcome, like in American-style universities (like at the Vesalius College in Brussels, where we used to lecture).

• ​Practical: being business professionals rather than academics, we combine practice and techniques with theory. Using concrete examples and case studies, our training sessions are therefore very practical and based on 20 years+ of experience working with Japanese and for Japanese companies in Europe and in Japan.
  

• ​Relevant: we are selective in what we present, avoiding pointless details. Our concern is to deal with each participants' daily challenges and to make sure they all leave the program with useful tools and confidence.​
