Best Practices
of the team. That way, everyone has a basic knowledge of tar- geted regions as your strategy evolves.
9) Make it fun. Host a themed meeting where you cele- brate a different culture—what are the norms and taboos? And include food—everything’s better with food.
10) Consider a third-party assessment of international readiness. Thinking of taking that next step? Determine how prepared you really are. Benchmark against similar organizations, learn best practices and determine focus. Too often we use the term “international” or “global” when, really, we’re only talking about a handful of countries. Know your strategy and how best to execute it.
Developing an international team is yet another tactic in that balance between opportunity and risk that tends to accompany international strategy. It’s important to balance the evolution of international activity with the degree of complexity, investment and uncertainty your company is will- ing and able to handle. Your talent is your first line of offense in finding and maintaining that balance. MF
