Some of our consultants have language skills and speak a mother tongue other than English. Languages spoken and written range from main European languages to Russian. We can call upon mother tongue interpreters or translators or negotiators when the needs arise. This ability becomes crucial when global firms have to develop local tactics, partners, and distribution channels and gain local competitors' intelligence. It is also important for infrastructure projects in other countries.
The methodology for partnering was developed with executives across cultures, countries and identified critical success factors linked to culture and communications effectiveness.
To manage tactics locally, across Europe we have successfully been accepted as part of a European network of management consultancies covering Eastern and Western Europe. For particular skills in mother languages other than English we can use a professional network which spreads internationally through professional associations.
