We have spent years conducting research whilst working with clients in the field. These findings and experiences have brought us valuable insights into the structure and variables of international expansions. With the use of our Expandition cycle, we can assist you in navigating all obstacles whilst creating a very practical plan forward. We don’t just present a plan. Dive into the methodology and the management trails we offer.
Our Expandition cycle identifies three key stages of international expansion. Explore, conduct and harmonize are three distinct management trails, designed to meet you where you face your challenge. All orientations are tailor-made to your specific international expansion.
Our flagship service. A complete management trail including detailed market intelligence, strategic sessions, and a big emphasis on execution of the reconnaissance and raiding operations.
On average, our clients spend a year with us during this stage. Afterwards, they are ready to deploy their operation in the targeted markets. Moving onto management trail two.
We offer an immersive course with you and your company to kick off together in a strong fashion. We will work with our Expandition workbook, providing you a clear roadmap. Afterwards, we will organise our coöperation and start moving forward.
Clear decisions on (1) country (2) entry mode (3) Business Strategy (4) Operational planning - including budgets. With those decisions we will work for the majority of the year and evaluate our results, together.
This trail is suitable for executives at large corporations, as well as startups with a strong local presence. We work with CEO’s, Managing Directors, Sales Directors, Founders, International Business Developers, International Recruitment Managers and a whole host of other people that want to succeed abroad.
Entering a country is the first step. It’s hard and difficult work and a serious investment. In this second phase you have collected evidence to deploy your resources into this new market. How to manage this process of scaling your efforts and resources is the topic of this service.
Deployments can take months and sometimes years. This is fully dependent on your mission. Where our "EX:PLORE" session is very hands-on, our "CON:DUCT" is much more hands-off. This means that we will work together on important decisions and operations, but that your company puts its own disciplines forward.
Scaling can come with a lot of pain. We aim to make the pain manageable and enjoyable. A smooth process will give you the confidence and ease of mind while making decisions.
This is for people who are serious about their expansion. You have done all the homework and know what to expect. We can be your partner to deploy as successfully as you possibly can.
In the new reality, local integration, cultural adaptation, and intelligent knowledge transfer will be key ingredients to the lasting success of your international expansion. Our team will facilitate various short interventions to prepare and monitor the integration.
On average we work on this subject matter for about 6 months on a hands-off basis.
Diverse teams with people from a variety of cultures each bring their strengths and challenges. Our core focus is to make sure that people are aligned on their mission by setting the right incentives and creating a mutual bond that can endure the inevitable challenges.
For any team and company that has expanded internationally, or even nationally. As culture does not account for territorial borders we have found this management trail suitable for every scale-up.
Criticalthinking is fundamentally what set’s great strategy execution apart. Ourred-team engagement is a one-of intervention that allows your people tochallenge their own beliefs and come up with creative solutions to moveforward.
We can helpyou organize trade events in selected markets to engage with prospects, networkwith investors and create visibility.
One-ofmarket research is sometimes perfect for companies who are designed to expandinternationally and are looking for a traditional intelligence product that canhelp them on their mission.
To be reviewed. Companies from across the board have serious questions about how to organise their international expansion. Whether this is the first time or whether it’s a new product ready for new markets, we focus on this operation day-in-day-out, making us a specialist in navigating a conundrum of important questions. Because let’s be honest, there are a lot of decisions to be made.
