David Forward will give YOUR group
The Power of One:
Eliminating Borders by Thinking Globally
You want to grow your business—and hear about “overseas opportunities” —but you don’t know how to reach them.
You’ve heard horror stories of unpaid bills and busted deals—all because of the wrong type of handshake. How can you avoid being a cultural bulldozer before you expand abroad?
Your competitor is now offering cutting prices because of his lower costs from an overseas vendor. How can you follow suit—without losing control of quality?
David Forward will deliver a customized presentation
that shows you how to position your organization as a player in the global village. He will take you on a journey that gives you dozens of TAPs—Take Away Points—covering:
Why you need to Think Globally.
Taking a world view is critical in the New Economy. If your firm is not doing business beyond your own national borders—you can bet your customers, vendors,
and competitors are. David will reveal examples of how technology and merging cultures are opening vast new opportunities to sell to, and source from, non-traditional channels.
How to reach beyond your home market.
In
this “nuts and bolts” session, he will show you how to blaze a trail into new markets. Whether you are a multinational firm looking to avoid cultural blunders, or a group of entrepreneurs who’ve never owned a passport, this presentation will prepare you for an exciting new world of opportunities.
What makes your transnational counterpart “tick”
It is not enough to remember whether to cross your legs,
or if you should give your host an odd or even number of flowers. Most new international partnerships fail because of cultural clashes. Finding fault after the fact is neither appropriate nor productive. The graveyard of international trade is littered with tombstones that read,
“Here lies the body of a great and profitable deal which died because the principals didn’t understand one another.”
The key to success in Thinking Globally is to understand your partner’s culture. David has lived and worked in countries around the world. He will share his expertise in
how you can better understand your transnational associate’s viewpoint—and how he perceives you.
Leaders who possess The Power of One are those who truly commit to understanding their partner’s culture, and how their partner sees them. This presentation will provide tangible tips on how to do that—and then the blueprint for crossing border into the wide world of opportunity beyond.
