In 1988 Akira Koudate , , after having developed the first European Office of JMAC’s in Paris, established in Milan the first Italian Japanese Consulting firm. With such an International Background and having led the Italian Company for many years, Koudate-san keeps the role of “sensei” (teacher/mentor) , while working with the managers of JMAC on the development of new methodologies and giving advice and hints based on his huge and long experience to younger colleagues.
Beyond being involved in the management of the company and engaged with organizational development and sales activity, JMAC managers do carry out consulting activities at customer sites, starting from our CEO.
.
The presence in the "genba" (a Japanese word for "physical place" where events occur) featuring the activities of all our consultants, along with the continuous updating on know-how contents, the concreteness, the proximity to customers and the ability to provide solutions to their needs are distinctive values of all JMAC consultants, including the Management Team members.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER With JMAC since 1995
“The main pre-requisite for improvement, to any businesses and for JMAC as well, is the willingness to keep on giving oneself a challenge. Such willingness should feature all levels of the organization, starting from the top managers”.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM – FOCUS AUTOMOTIVE DEALER NETWORK With JMAC since 1995
"The values I feel distinctive of consultancy are the responsibility and result. Responsibility is a word now unfashionable, but it perfectly depicts the sense of what I consider the core value of our daily job. Our responsibility as professionals is to make the most of what we have received, supporting the customer in finding out and identifying the right solutions to the attainment of their business results".
CHIEF OPERATION OFFICER With JMAC since 1992
“Companies are people. That’s why a business really improves only if its people grow and evolve through the improvement process. One of our main tasks, as consultants, is to help the managers create the conditions for this to happen”.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM – FOCUS ON SERVICE BUSINESSES AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION With JMAC since 1988
“It is my belief that technical skills are only a prerequisite for establishing a valid and effective relationship with customers: listening skills, understanding and conviction with patience, commitment and passion are essential for success in the profession. Awareness about what to do and how to tell is not enough. The essential is to get it done”.
OPERATIONS “TEAM” MANAGER With JMAC since 2000

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM – FOCUS ON HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT With JMAC since 2000

INNOVATION “TEAM” MANAGER With JMAC since 2000

To assist customers in opening to the new, to turn their ideas into successful projects, to leverage change through people. Why it is asked ... "what are you willing to become?" to the small ones only?”.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM – FOCUS ON LEAN TRANSFORMATION With JMAC since 1998
“Being a consultant is a profession that cannot be played by ear. It’s neither a matter of just learning techniques and methodologies nor of knowledge about the how-to of application. You have to understand the needs of customer companies and help them solve their problems”.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM – FOCUS ON JAPANESE COMPANIES IN ITALY With JMAC since 1993
私にとってコンサルティングとは“馬術競技”のようです。馬と騎手が息をぴったり合わせることで大きな成果が生まれ、感動を味わうことができます。
“To me, consultancy is like a "horse race": when the horse and jockey run breathing in perfect unison, both can achieve great targets, and feel strong emotions”.
