Market entry

heading towards new markets

We support businesses and their managers abroad during market entry. Business coaching for leadership teams and expat managers enables your business to act successfully in the international market.
Internally, you are building the communication-, cooperation- and decision-making structures required for working internationally. You develop effective strategies both oriented internally and externally, to succeed in the new market and the new culture. Using virtual technology, we are available directly “on-site”, no matter if at home or abroad, without time and cost for travel. By continuous support challenges are addressed proactively, problems are identified early and thus the risk of failure is reduced.

Development package

growth and development

You are looking for ways to implement specific leadership development for your assignees. You are aware which additional challenges your expat managers are facing on their jobs. You therefore need a format that provides support for day-to-day problems on top of tackling long-term development objectives.
The development package supports the manager in meeting the specific challenges of an international assignment, and subsequently links these challenges with development objectives to enhance the leadership competence. The coaching is designed as continuous support during a predefined time period.

Insurance package

embrace risks, but as safely as possible

Investments abroad always mean additional business risks. You are aware that the success of your investment highly depends on the performance of your expat managers. You would like to minimize the risks linked to an international assignment.
Studies show that 20% to 30% of expat managers fail. The real challenges and requirements for new competences often only manifest themselves during day-to-day operation abroad. As important as a thorough preparation of the assignment is – it cannot cope with emerging daily challenges abroad.
This package will risks that might jeopardize the project at an early stage. Constructive and robust strategies will be elaborated to tackle the present and future challenges. This way you avoid the high costs caused by high failure rates.
During a predefined time period, coaching will be scheduled in larger intervals and will focus on risk analysis, emerging problems and their treatment before these risks jeopardize the project.

Fire fighter package

rapid intervention where required

The daily life of managers is full of challenges – international assignments add another few: living abroad turns out to be more difficult for the family than initially assumed, communication with local employees comes up against unexpected barriers, or miscommunication with headquarters creates conflicts. Needed is a support that is available on short notice, and can be implemented with little effort.
This coaching package aims at mitigating critical situations. Coaching sessions focus on the issue at hand and elaborate hands-on solutions to control the critical situation.
The coaching is designed as flexible, situation-specific support that can be available on short notice.

Trial package

how does this taste?

Test the technical way of working in action and convince yourself that coaching at a distance can be effective.

Even if it is agreed that support may be helpful to expat managers, this is often not easy to implement at a distance. Digital technology can help in this point. For many organizations digital forms of collaboration are standard nowadays. However, as far as coaching is concerned, skepticism prevails: Can we really substitute virtual technology for direct human contact, especially in delicate situations? The step into employing fundamentally new methods naturally calls for some persuasive effort on all participants. A test under realistic conditions may help your organization to build your own opinion concerning the deployment of virtual coaching.
