TWO LEVEL PROJECTS
LEVEL 1: As a CEO & ExCom strategic partner and trusted advisor, Georgina Barquin helps Boards navigate the cultural risk hidden inside hidden inside international expansion, M&A integration, restructuring and hyper-growth processes using a proprietary diagnostic framework.
LEVEL 2 She then helps team Leaders & their teams integrate the necessary learnings.
BENEFITS OF A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP IN CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE
01. Risk identified before it costs you value
Cultural friction is detected during due diligence, expansion planning or restructuring, not after the deal has already lost momentum.
02. One aligned voice at the top
The Board and the ExCom understand where entropy/noise comes from and agree on the same cultural priorities, so decisions are consistent throughout the organization and culturally aligned to the different markets.
03. Faster, safer M&A integration and expansion processes
Cultural factors are built into the integration and entry strategy from early on, reducing delays, attrition and rework.
04. Decisions backed by data, not intuition
Five validated measurement tools for Cultural Intelligence and Global Mindset turn “culture” into measurable, comparable evidence.
05. Strategy that actually reaches a smooth execution in global settings
What the Board decides is cascaded to leaders and teams through a connected process that are aligned both globally and locally.
06. A trusted, confidential sounding board
Extensive experience, 8,000+ executives from 40+ nationalities, and a track record in multi-country restructuring and hypergrowth.
