"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me.
