Increase Your International Market Share and Reduce Risk in Foreign Markets.
M&A and International Project Due Diligence & Integration
As we cross international business borders, the risk of doing business quadruples. Never are the stakes higher than in an international venture or M&A. International enterprises must have a comprehensive pre-M&A knowledge of the omnipresent cultural motivations and values that guide international stakeholders. Universal Consensus not only do pre-M&A assessment, we can also refine your key peoples cross cultural negotiation skills, presentation skills, and rapport building skills during the initial phases of due diligence. This will significantly reduce cross cultural communication barriers and let you gain a competitive advantage during the negotiations process. The cross cultural challenges do not end with negotiation closure. Case study after case study, from the Chrysler-Daimler Benz merger failure to countless other international partnerships, demonstrates that an evaluation of the potential disconnects and recommendations for solutions would have eliminated or significantly reduced the risk of failure. To successfully integrate culturally diverse companies each must understand the cultural motivations, values, and methods of collaboration and conflict resolution of the other.

BMIA is a framework that augments not only region-specific cultural knowledge, but the understanding of cross-cultural interactions in general. With BMIA certification you can be assigned or deployed anywhere in the world, even without specific knowledge of that culture, and still be culturally effective & adaptable in that region in the full spectrum of operations. Our BMIA certification is the preeminent holistic and result oriented certification program available for cross-cultural business competency today.

Let us evaluate the potential disconnects in communication in your international work forces that are inevitable when companies do business across cultures. In evaluate the manner in which the respective cultures collaborate; you can significantly improve intercompany interactions which lead to reduced costs and reduced cross-country risk. For example, Universal Consensus can conduct an assessment to identify the barriers to communication and operational efficiency between the United States headquarter and global operations. One client we helped with optimizing their global communication was WD-40 Company: We have had the pleasure of retaining Universal Consensus to improve cross cultural communication & awareness between our U.S. and U.K. offices. They very adeptly were able to glean information from both offices, evaluate the challenges, and make significant recommendations through their BMIA training and strategic follow up that have helped us to move forward in a collaborative way. We witnessed immediate improvement & a new level of collaboration, cooperation & understanding. We are better today because of the BMIA program. - CEO WD-40 Company, Garry Ridge
