Study Tour to Japan
Discover the Japanese management DNA. This study tour proposal offers a special opportunity to go and see directly “at the source”, from those who have developed and successfully applied the simple and at the same time revolutionary management principles known as the Lean thinking.
The travel experience we offer follows a joint arrangement with JMAC in Japan, who work with many of the host companies. This makes the favtories and offices we visit not a “touristic amusement”or a bird’s eye view, but the opportunity to talk to managers and get anytime to the perspective that make the difference.
On such journeys we also explore the features of social organization where the same mindset is applied even though not a corporate environment (public services, schools, supermarkets, hospitals, transportation,…).
A 360 degrees experience where your body and mind get a full immersion in “outer space”. Try it out!
