Context:

• Many companies successfully adapt their products and services to local markets

• Bridging management practices and inter-cutural differences is key to realizing ramp-up planning, to avoiding costly learning curves, and to lay the basis for ongoing success

Sample solutions:

• Identification of potential cultural gaps

• Adapting projected site/facility surfaces and technical requirements to local imperatives

• Aligning corporate HR policies/practices with local imperatives and employee anticipations/aspirations

• Awareness trainings/workshops for locals and internationals

Context:

• Who to work with locally is another challenge 

Sample solutions:

• Support identification, programming & direction, for example on:

• • Recruitment

• • Facility contracting, design & fit-out

• • Legal/fiscal structuring
