Apelian Services

Are you having trouble with something like this?

  • I can’t keep up with English discussions at global conferences, and even if I have something to say, it’s hard to speak up.
  • It’s hard to build relationships with overseas colleagues who are only interested in getting the job done.
  • Collaborating with team members in different time zones can be challenging.
  • Once everything has been decided at the overseas headquarters, the necessary information may not be readily available.
  • We are not invited to the decision-making process, and are simply told what to do after everything has been decided at headquarters, which makes us feel isolated and demotivated.

If you are having trouble with this, please feel free to contact us.

For over 30 years, Aperian has accompanied major companies, including those in Japan, on their journeys to globalization and supported cross-cultural collaboration. Many global companies use Aperian’s services for the following initiatives:
