In 2003, when Dr. Rebecca Portnoy found herself watching a sushi restaurant close for the evening, there were two facts she didn’t know.
She was witnessing a ritual meal among staff members known as Makanai.
This would mark the beginning of a 15-year investigation into the role of rituals in workplace culture.
Today, Makanai Consulting helps organizations create their own rituals that inspire shifts in relationships, purpose, and culture.
Our collaborative process
will lead to a better decision making feedback loop for intentional improvement in relationships, purpose, and culture.
