“Global Business Environment Analysis Workshop” – Instructor John Kim / KT&G

This afternoon, too, I delivered training for KT&G new hires at the KT&G Human Resources Development Institute in Sintanjin. The topic was “Global Business Environment Analysis Workshop.” It’s a personal favorite of mine, and the KT&G training manager likes it too, so we analyzed conditions in different countries and their impact on the company and on individuals. Naturally, the participants were highly engaged.

When the session ended, one participant came up and asked, "How can I best build the kind of insight into geopolitics and environmental factors that you have?" I was a bit lost for words. I could only say that many factors seem to have contributed. It wasn’t built all at once but accumulated gradually over time, so I really had no good advice to give. ^^;
