Chorei: Japanese business routine for a productive day
At Idea Group we have been designing and developing products and strategy for 15 years, having created our own way of working: IDEAL LOGIC.
Chorei
.
This is a Japanese word used to name a morning meeting that is held standing up. All members of the company must attend before the start of the day.
It is a traditional practice. Its duration is quite short, usually extending to 15 minutes. However, it is a very effective way to keep everyone motivated and aligned with the same vision every day.
Unlike other meetings that usually take place in companies, this one is efficient enough to boost everyone’s energy, positivity and focus on common goals.
Why choose Chorei?
These meetings serve several purposes: to provide updates on project progress, discuss obstacles that have arisen, and delegate day-to-day tasks.
Attendance at Chorei is mandatory, so all employees must witness the dynamics. This ensures that:
- Employees are aware of the company’s priorities.
