色々と考えると迷いますが、実は北海道が良いかなと思っています。
北海道は、東京よりも涼しいですし、ドライブをしながら見る外の眺めは最高だと思います。はるか遠くに沈む夕日も見ることができそうです。
夏休みが楽しみです。夏休みのことを考えると、東京の混雑したラッシュアワーもがまんできます。

Cross-functional collaboration refers to teams made up of individuals from different departments or divisions within an organization working together on projects to achieve common goals. By bringing together experts from various areas like engineering, marketing, sales, finance, and operations, cross-functional teams are able to tackle complex problems and opportunities from multiple perspectives. Each member brings their unique skills, knowledge, and viewpoints to the project, helping identify issues or opportunities that others may have missed. They also break down silos that can form between departments, facilitating communication and ensuring all angles are considered. While cross-functional collaboration does require more coordination up front to align diverse team members, it ultimately leads to better outcomes by leveraging the collective expertise across an organization. These collaborative teams are able to develop more innovative, holistic solutions that benefit the entire company rather than just a single division. They promote greater understanding between functions and help build relationships that can improve future cooperation.

Example:
Launching a New Product: Imagine a company developing a new fitness tracker. The Marketing team needs to understand user needs and preferences (gathered from the Sales team) to create targeted advertising campaigns. Meanwhile, the Engineering team collaborates with the Design team to ensure the tracker is user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the Manufacturing team works with the Supply Chain team to source materials and ensure production runs smoothly. This cross-functional collaboration ensures a successful launch that considers all aspects, from user experience to market demand and production feasibility.

“I really love the great outdoors, so going for long walks is something I enjoy doing on a regular basis. The one walk that really stands out was actually a spur of the moment idea that turned into a much longer walk than I expected.  It was sometime last March, and the weather was absolutely perfect for some outdoor adventure. 




There's a beautiful national park only a stone's throw from where I live, that is very secluded and a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The park is full of tracks and trails that go through the jungle, as well as a small  mountain, which is famous for its wild monkeys and other wildlife.




As it was a spur of the  moment decision I decided to go alone, and set off about 6am, as the route I took was really off the beaten track, and was not going to be a walk in the park. Looking at the distance on google maps, I guessed it would take me about 3 hours to complete, but I hit a few snags along the way. The first track I took was completely overgrown, and slowed me down to a snail's crawl, and it took me almost 2 hours longer than I expected to reach the mountain.By the time I reached the mountain I was already dead tired and I remember I had to spend some time sitting under the shade of the trees to catch my breath, and decided the best thing to do was call it a day, and make my way back. It was also now getting very hot, and i was already covered in sweat, which was going to make the walk back even harder.




Although the walk was totally exhausting, and left me dead on my feet, I did in fact enjoy most of it, especially the beautiful scenery, and the feeling of being at one with nature. However , I think next time I should maybe  plan my route a little better, and be better prepared.




Thank you …”

8月は1か月アジアの旅行に行って、
1か月準備をして、
10月から今の生活をはじめました。

今はトルコに3か月いてます。
次はジョージアに行く予定です。

この1年で環境がどんどん変わって、見るもの、感じるものがたくさんありました。

北海道にいたのが今年だと思うと、ちょっと信じられない感じがします。

いろんな経験ができているのは僕にとってとても良いことです。

そんな経験をこれからもこの日本語Podcastでみなさんにお伝えしたいと思います。
