Synchronization Context
Operating on opposite sides of the clock, these cities have virtually no overlapping business hours. Expect a 24-hour turnaround for most communications.
Calgary Business Pulse
- Culture Entrepreneurial, professional, and influenced by the energy and tech sectors.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Calgary is a practical, results-oriented city with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Mountain Time is great for North American syncs. A professional but friendly and "no-nonsense" approach is the most effective here.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
