Recommendation for Mr. Masato “SHO” Ichikawa (by Mr. Y)

I had the privilege to learn from Mr. Ichikawa (Sho) at the 10 days workshop called “Cho Jissenjuku” in which he was a trainer. It focused on the strategy and tactics of the way how independent consultants can build the business with small- to-medium-sized Japanese companies.

I learn a lot of his very unique ideas and the less well-know mentality of the owners of the small- to-medium-sized companies.When I had great opportunity to work with him as a sparring partner, I was impressed by his ability to think out of the box and the original theories based on his very deep knowledge of the marketing. He has great work ethics, highly committed to quality.

I find Sho to be both strategic as well as operationally savvy, which is a good combination. I would strongly recommend Sho for a senior consultant role or a role for the business tactical scheming for the management
