Shaping cross-border business


Blog

Location strategy

Typical client asks:


    • Is our list of location criteria complete


    • Which countries/cities to consider


    • Can we find the right talent


    • How to win the war for talent


    • Where to get incentives


    • On-, near-, offshore or layered

Footprint & sourcing optimization

Sample solutions:


  • Industry trends analysis/benchmarking


  • Deployment strategy frameworks


  • Country/city selection


  • Site/building search & technical due diligence


  • Acquisition, lease and incentive negotiation

Typical client asks:


  • One or multiple facilities


  • Consolidate on existing sites or new ones


  • Where to do what


  • Captive, outsource or hybrid


  • Are we still in the right spot


  • How to exit the site

Glocalization

Sample solutions:


  • Operations health check


  • Location alignment assessment


  • Existing sites' cost & KPI benchmarking


  • Oursourcing service provider identification & assessment


  • Process allocation optimization


  • Decent exist strategies

Context:


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


  • Yet glocalization of governance, management structures, policies and procedures often lags


  • 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

Implementation

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:


  • Lack of governance, insufficient resources and mismanagement account for 51% of causes that make cross-border implementations fail


  • Companies often underestimate implementation complexity, and only rarely have people with vast international experience to spare


  • 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


  • Coaching and interim management
