We have published the innovation research report "The Promotion of Dialogue - A Fundamental Approach to Understanding Japanese Culture Deeply and Transforming Organizations."
The Power to Change "It's Useless to Talk" — Fundamentally Reassessing Organizational Culture and Decision-Making Through Dialogue "Another meeting?" "It'll just be decided by the higher-ups anyway." — Has such resignation become commonplace in your organization? This book, "The Promotion of Dialogue," delves into the depths of the "Japanese organizational culture" that underlies the dysfunction of dialogue, uncovering why the voices from the field go unheard and why meetings often go off track. The emphasis on harmony, the pressure to conform, and the ambiguity of responsibility — these are cultural structures rooted in history and environment that cannot be changed merely through superficial meeting techniques or facilitation skills.

In workplaces where motivation and empathy tend to diminish, now is the time for "dialogue" to become the starting point for transformation. Moving beyond mere formal discussions to truly meaningful consensus formation. This is a book that breathes life into your organization.
