My recent on-going research is mainly on:

I wish to introduce seven examples of my recent research projects as below:

Story making and telling for human communication

Story is one of the most effective ways of communicating you or your organization to any specific audience. If you did it right, your story would convey your live, ineffable messages to your audience. The method of making and telling a story is similar to painting.

Achieving a vision

One of the most effective ways of creating your personal vision is to make your vision a story that will evolve now. Since both the future and the past images are simply the movements of your consciousness in the present, your story must be in motion now. Given such a story, the envisioning person will capture a series of synchronic momentums to realize her/his vision.

Perceptual Flexibility for Global Leadership

You will see followership emerging across cultural borders through personal mastery of developing the perceptual flexibility, e.g., paradigmatically analog and digital modes of perception and communication. This flexibility is applicable to leading, facilitating, coaching, counseling and managing. Intriguing findings have been produced through over 100 multicultural sessions over 20 years with professional participants from over 80 countries to experiment perceptually different interactions in varied ways.

Creativity and innovation

Interpersonal creativity is markedly enhanced when mutually contradictory but equally compelling forces interact with one another under a skilled facilitation. This can be applied to intrapersonal creativity even more effectively when the interactions happen between unconscious and conscious states of mind. Some potent findings have been derived from about 150 systematic experiments.

Analog and digital mindsets

Analog mindset refers to personal preference to use her/his intuitive feeling to analytical mind in perceiving, interpreting, and communicating reality, while digital mindset refers to the other way round. This illuminates interpersonal and intercultural differences in thinking and feeling. Lots and lots of highly potent discussions and findings have been produced out of these ideas of mindsets.
 

Digital and analog decision-making

Management literature to date has shown sufficient information and rational knowledge on data-based analytical approach to decision making. Analog decision-making based on intuitive feeling has also been indicated and moving rapidly in its initial stage of experimentation. I have been conducting on a third approach developed from balancing the two approaches with intriguing results.

Type-M and type-O organization and management

Type-M and type-O organizational images as icons for Western mechanistic organizations and Japanese organic organizations present most effectively in the simplest way of how Japanese organizational management differs from the Western ideas of organizations. This model has been derived from organizational patterns in 80 countries. In essence, type-M is the digital, low-context organization and type-O is the analog, high-context organization. The only difference is “invisible” green spaces shown in no organizational charts that have devastating impacts upon interfacial managers.

And More, More, More ....
