International Strategy Consultancy tailored to meet your requirements.
We work with a team of highly experienced consultants to identify, evaluate and pursue new or existing market opportunities, to support the international growth of your business. Whether you want us to work independently or with your BD team, we will work to fit your business needs.
From initial market research, company background checks, due diligence process, through to market entry, we offer practical consultancy focused on growth. We can also build on this to provide operational and logistical support, as well as intercultural skills training to further maximise international growth potential.
Consultancy can be provided as and when required, on a fee basis, retainer, lump sum, or commission.
If you are considering expanding your business internationally, local knowledge is invaluable. We work closely with our client to understand goals and objectives and collate in-depth market research from our own resources, and from in-country partners who can provide first-hand knowledge. This includes insights into market opportunities, market size, competitors, potential key customers, trends, risks, and challenges.
Reliable data from in-depth primary and secondary market research means we can carry out a comprehensive study that allows you to make informed decisions in your growth strategy. The value of this cannot be underestimated.
Our main areas of expertise are UK, LATAM, Kazakhstan and Indonesia however we may be able to help you with other regions too, depending on the scope of work.
There are a number of key stakeholders in any business that are crucial to survival and success.
This is particularly relevant in international business. How you engage with stakeholders is also influenced by the cultural environment. For example, in some countries, relationships and communication can be quite informal, whereas in others they are far more formal.
We can help you manage and expand stakeholder relations to ensure all parties are effectively engaged with the business through open, transparent and collaborative communication with you, and your stakeholders.
Having the right personnel to support new projects is key to success, particularly on international projects.
We can work with you to identify areas with the best availability of competent resources for your required skills, recruit local personnel, evaluate competency, and provide training.
Hiring personnel abroad often requires having a legal entity in the country, and sometimes this isn’t necessary early on so we can also identify local partners who can provide you with HR, payroll and immigration services in full compliance with local laws.
A common pitfall in international assignments is relocating a manager who has been successful in one market, and assuming that person will succeed in another. We strongly recommend using CQ tools and assessments to ensure you recruit effectively and build strong cohesive multicultural teams locally, and across borders.
