Trans-Pacific Research, Consulting, and Training

Research Services

GGG research begins with its clients' stated objectives: our goal is helping clients meet those objectives. To that end, our extensive trans-Pacific experience has prepared us to assess client organizations' cross-cultural effectiveness in two key areas: how culture impacts work processes and how one culture perceives another in the workplace.

GGG research methods include the following:

• One-on-one interviews with key executives and other employees.
  
• Focus-group interviews.
  
• Hands-on observations of cross-cultural interactions in meetings and video conferences.
  
• A review of company documents (such as in-house newsletters or trans-Pacific e-mail exchanges).

The information gathered can then be organized into a confidential report for the client and ultimately used to design a culturally aware strategy for developing and/or improving both employee work process and mutual perceptions across cultures and, therefore, overall company productivity and competitiveness. This generally includes highly customized executive coaching and employee training programs, targeted to overcome specific deficiencies or difficulties outlined in the report.
