At Tomoko King - Consulting & Advisory, organizations working across Japan and Canada gain bilingual facilitation, cross-cultural training, and global project support to turn strategic intent into action. Whether the goal is to grow business with or in Japan, align with a Japanese head office, or integrate proven practices from Toyota Management Systems, tailored services are offered in training, consulting, Kaizen workshops, and strategic project execution.
This approach blends operational discipline, cultural fluency, and Japanese-English bilingual communication to help teams build trust, align across borders, and bring strategy to life.
I guide organizations through my 5A Cultural Synergy Framework™ - a structured approach inspired by Toyota’s proven methodologies. This framework offers a clear pathway for teams to move from cultural unawareness or friction to cross-cultural synergy. By recognizing gaps, bridging differences, and aligning diverse perspectives, organizations unlock stronger collaboration and achieve greater results across borders and cultures.

Many cross-border and global teams struggle to execute strategy - not because of a lack of vision, but because they aren’t fully aligned or culturally equipped to deliver. Whether collaborating with Japanese partners, managing international projects, or applying Toyota-inspired tools, successful execution depends on people, culture and communication. The 5A Cultural Synergy Framework™ equips global teams to bridge differences, build alignment, and unlock the collaboration needed to achieve sustainable cross-cultural success.
