Synchronization Context

Syncing between Dublin and Tokyo is challenging due to the 9 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Dublin Business Pulse

  • Culture Tech-heavy, friendly, and relationship-driven. A major European hub for global tech giants.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Irish business culture is famous for being friendly and relational ("The gift of the gab"); always take time for personal rapport before diving into the agenda. Mid-week calls are typically the most productive.

Tokyo Business Pulse

  • Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (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.
