Why did I become management consultant?:<\/p>\n

I love Japanese manufacturing industry and I found work first with Nissan Motors. I was in charge of the mid-term management planning in the Overseas Planning Department. When I was ordered to draft a mid-term management plans in around one week by my boss \u2013 I replied, \u201cOK I will give it a try.\u201d I worked on it for a week and when I handed it to my boss, he said \u201cThank you. It\u2019s a good job!\u201d My draft plan became the official plan without discussion or revision. A question lingered in my mind. Was it the best way?
\nSeveral years later, it became obvious to all that Nissan did not go well. Subsequently, I realized that it was important that major changes like mid-term business plans should be thoroughly discussed within a company until people agree to all the details that affect them. I left Nissan sometime before Mr. Carlos Ghosn became the CEO of the company.
\nWhile I worked for Nissan, I was nominated as a project member with McKinsey & Co. for a North American product \/ market strategy project. It was a very important project for Nissan at that time because Nissan received a major profit from the North American market and the yen appreciation to the US dollar was reducing it. We had to determine out a good solution from this project. The project office was located in Los Angeles. I stayed there with the US staff for months. All the discussion and materials were in English. I could handle English from my time at the University Of Chicago Graduate School Of Business. The project was tough. I often argued with the project leader, a Stanford MBA graduate, concerning the process and the details of the solutions. In the mean time, I found it interesting to be a consultant. Consultants can work for various companies in various industrial sectors. I felt I was capable enough to be a management consultant. I decided to become a management consultant at that time. However, McKinsey people said they could not scout from a client company. I decided to join the Sanwa Research Institute, which was setting up a consulting group for large corporations. I made use of my mid-term business plan drafting skills learned at Nissan after I joined the firm and did various mid-term business plan drafting projects. By experiencing various projects, I wanted to complete my knowledge as a sort of \u2018graduation thesis\u2019. Then I wrote \"How to build \/ How to use a midterm business plan\" for businessmen. The book became the best seller in this category and kept that position more than a decade. I often hear \"I read this book\" or \"We used it for the current midterm business plan\" when I meet corporate planning staff from various companies.<\/p>\n

Why do I use storytelling?:
\nI have been a management consultant for 20 years. During that period, I have always been worried whether our customers could put our proposals into practice. Accordingly, I came across a method of storytelling. My clients\u2019 reactions changed dramatically when the storytelling method was used. They were able to understand the meaning of our proposals and they could implement them willingly. I was surprised to see the difference. I developed several applications of storytelling in business and my clients and my students enjoy them.<\/p>\n
