Open Collaboration: Building Bridges Between US & Japan

With programs like Prime Minister Abe’s Kakehashi Initiative, it has become increasingly important that the US and Japan work together more openly and deeply. TFullEffect International, the parent company of FullEffect Marketing, is committed to developing and further advancing the business relationship between Japan and US business entries. To do this at the grassroots level requires us to be ambassadors of open collaboration between people. This is one of the main reasons for starting FullEffect Marketing — we believe that more can be done when borders are broken down and shared ideas and cooperation come together. 

Empathy: The #1 Building Block Towards Innovation

At FullEffect, we believe that being empathetic is critical to building the right products and solutions that will motivate customers to repeat, refer, and rave about your product. Conversely, not being empathetic can be quite damaging to an organization’s top-line and, consequently, its overall reputation. This can be illustrated by delivering user experiences that are not designed with the customer in mind; developing applications that do not address end-user pain points; providing poor customer-service that can derail loyalty; or delivering services that do not improve how business gets done by organizations are all manifestations of a company NOT building products or services with the end-user in mind. This is why we treat empathy as one of the fundamental building blocks of how we advise and interact with our clients.

The “Monotsukuri” Mindset

Having personally lived in Japan for more than 12 years, one can say that it has been a very formative experience for me both professionally and personally. During my time working for hardware companies in Tokyo, I learned about the concept of “Monotsukuri:” hand craftsmanship. As many of us know, this refers to the art of “making things” and this has been practiced by Japanese companies for decades. But Monotsukuri is also a state of mind….. Monotskuri also refers to taking ownership and pride in all of the things one does; providing high quality reporting and consulting; establishing and maintaining meaningful human relationships; and taking steps each and everyday to improve. In every report, relationship, and service we provide at FullEffect, we try to demonstrate this philosophy, through and through. We would be honored to have the opportunity to serve you and craft something wonderful for your business.
