Logical Thinking Training

Logical thinking as “a common language”

It is an important business skill to persuade the opponent through communication. Japanese people tend to rely on non-verbal communication with someone familiar because they expect him/her understand what they would like to tell even though a lot of things remain unsaid.

However, they cannot stick to this method of communication when it comes to their opponent is someone they meet for the first time, or someone with different organizational culture or different language and nationality. In these situations, they only have logic to make the communication through. Only “to be logical” becomes “the common language” here.

This training will address the logic, that is effective as “a common language” in any situation and “the logical thinking skills” that are indispensable to master logic. We especially recommend those working for foreign affiliated and multi-national companies that have extremely low-context culture to acquire the logical thinking skills.
