International Development in the U.S. Market (continued...)

When international development depends so much on your people... When performance lies on understanding and mastering cultural differences...

Cibles & Réseaux, in association with our American Partner, Crenshaw Associates, offers several ways to support you in the US market:

1 - Top Leadership

  • How to identify the right motivations, competencies and risks of a candidate for expatriation?
  • How to help a European understand American culture, rules and norms?
  • Your new U.S. leader: Retain current CEO? Hire from a competitor? Find a bicultural French-American? Promote internally?
  • How to construct his or her compensation package and performance incentives?
  • How to prepare a succession plan for this new CEO? What coaching will be necessary for his or her replacement?
  • Should you provide outplacement support to a departing CEO?

2 - Senior Management

  • How to evaluate the competence and loyalty of management in a potential acquisition?
  • How to gauge the effectiveness of a management team or executive committee?
  • On what criteria will you base the creation or modification of this new management team?
  • How will you assure the enrichment and transfer of knowledge between the local team and the European teams?

3 - Management Development

  • Require coaching to integrate the different cultures when a merger or acquisition occurs?
  • Ensure the successful promotion of a “high potential specialist” to a management position with coaching support?
  • Provide a temporary “impatriation” of an American manager to the European headquarters, to coach and prepare him/her for future increased responsibilities in the local business unit?

  • How to evaluate the quality of a Board, and how well it represents your company values and goals?
  • What criteria are needed to select the right backgrounds and personalities of these new Directors?
