Why investing in the International social competencies of executives and teams?
-
In any team meeting, negotiation, acquisition, or integration of companies we deal with our cultural gaps.
-
Understanding cultural differencies and being able to adapt the way we communicate is the foundation of any successful International business.
-
When companies run an International business national borders disappear, cultural gaps open and the scope for misunderstandings and conflicts widens.
-
Every day we are hearing stories about arrogant foreign bosses making unreasonable demands; counterparts who seam to take a real plaseure in being obstructive or devious; audiences who unexpectedly react to a proposal with hostility and agression. It is time to do something about it.
Which is the method used by ICB&B?
- Most of the companies have the potential to Internationalize but experience problems in action or are hesitant to Internationalize because they miss a method and experience.
- The method used by ICB&B is both procedural and relational. The client and ICB&B create an operative and generative partnership that allows the client to chose autonomously the smart goals and execute robustly designed International plans of actions.
- ICB&B does not mentor companies nor supply ready to use prescriptions for Internationailzation. Every company and business is on a tailored plan of action using his own potential and resources.
