We had one task force from Nissan during the 2 projects, Peter B (picture above). He was a very good guy and lived in Northamtpon. He knew the company pretty well and helped us installing our new management tools rather swiftly.
In the first project my consultant was Anne-Laure, and in the second one Javier.
Each project lasted for about 4 months.
The main issue was, Nissan was riddled with "cultural differences". There were the Spanish employees in the 2 sites in Spain, the British ones in Milton Keynes, and there were myriads of Japanese employees who were in Europe for a certain amount of time and also included in the project.
I do remember problems with the Japanese. They were language barriers and also no interest at all in any European project, as they were all very focused on directives from Japan.
