Who We Work With

We work with a wide variety of mid to large-sized companies and universities. These organizations are either based in the United States with offices overseas or have employees of multiple cultures working in the United States or other home base.

The organizations may already be engaged in global business or just getting started in expanding to other countries. Though we provide consulting on several cultures, we specialize in China, India and the United States. Our clients may outsource work overseas; sell to customers around the world; be part of global virtual teams; manage human resources for employees from multiple countries; or travel back and forth between global offices.

• The Home Depot

ARE SOME OF THESE STATEMENTS TRUE FOR YOU?

 “Our global organization is making profit, but our processes are painful. Having all these different cultures trying to come to an agreement is slowing us down, causing frustration and increasing conflict. We want to make profit and have a less stressful work environment.”

“I am very experienced in international business and have traveled extensively. How do I motivate my employees from other cultures? I have been able to negotiate deals and sell products, but I need to develop the strengths of my international employees and I don’t know how.”

“Our company is saving a lot of money by offshoring processes to India, but now problems are starting to show up. We face poor communication; expectations not being met; questionable quality of work; lack of feedback; and overdue projects.”

“I am a manager who values cross-cultural competence, but my U.S. based employees have few skills and tools for working with people of varied cultures. I am afraid their attitude and approach will damage morale in the company. How can I be a good leader and provide all of my employees with cultural resources to work together effectively?

“I am traveling to China on business. I want to know how not to offend people there and how to earn their respect.”

CLIENTS ARE MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED WORKING WITH US IF:

a.)   You view cultural fluency as a positive part of achieving global competence, not as an item to cross off the “have-to-do” list. The leaders of your organization pride themselves on being global and set a positive tone. They highlight the strengths of employees of all cultures.

b.)   You have an open mind and come to us ready to learn new approaches, new tools and different perspectives.

c.)   You are willing to continue dialogue on best practices learned during our time together and to proactively think about next steps to global effectiveness.

d.) You are ready and willing to leverage the positive value of your diverse workforce. Culture is not a problem to be solved; it is a starting point for dialogue on varied strategies, more and better ideas, rich experiences, new business approaches and more.
