We founded Ionis International Inc. in 1993
to provide practical training programs to U.S. and Japanese
businesses, with the straightforward goal of helping them
improve the productivity of their international business relationships.
Over the years Ionis has evolved to meet the
changing needs of our clients, but our mission remains the
same: providing high-quality programs and advice to our client
companies in the Pacific Rim, and to conduct our business
with professionalism and integrity.
For the last 13 years, our principals have conducted over
thirty
4-week intensive residential programs, American Business and
Culture, for Japanese managers here at our facilities in Boulder,
Colorado.
In 1994 we developed a relationship with Caltech's
Industrial Relations Center, designing and leading their first
internationally focused executive education program: Competing
and Partnering with Japanese Business. We continue to teach
this course three times per year to CEOs and senior executives
representing a broad range of industries.
In recent years many of our clients began expanding
into China. Ionis invited an experienced international business
executive, Bill Cheung, to join our team. Together we developed
training and consulting services to help our clients manage
their U.S.-China business relationships, and better understand
how to set up strategic sourcing and selling operations in
the PRC. This included developing a second executive education
course for Caltech: Partnering with Chinese Business.
The late 1990s saw many of our U.S.-based clients
acquiring companies in Japan - a relatively new phenomenon.
Ionis worked to prepare U.S. integration teams to anticipate
and manage the many challenges that a Japanese acquisition
entails. Likewise, we began conducting an increased number
of training programs for the acquired Japanese workforce on
how to communicate effectively with the new American-based
management team.
As a company, we continue to grow and evolve.
Since our beginning nearly a decade ago, the Ionis team has
worked to prepare clients for success in the Pacific Rim.
We look forward to developing a relationship with you, too.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss
your specific situation, or have any questions about our programs
or services.
Sincerely
