Global Expansion Readiness
Most companies go global based on CEO enthusiasm and a Google search. We give you a data-driven expansion plan grounded in the same academic frameworks used in our research — customized to your company.
How It Works
Assessment
We run our proprietary Talent Navigator Lens assessment on your organization to identify behavioral readiness gaps, then analyze your target countries using Dowling's country analysis framework.
Analysis
We apply Filsinger's compliance risk model, Meyer's cultural dimensions, and Sparkman's workforce planning framework to build a complete picture of what your expansion actually requires.
Roadmap
You get a specific, actionable plan — not a 100-page deck. Which countries, which hiring model, what it costs, what the cultural friction points will be, and a timeline you can execute.
Choose Your Engagement
Every tier includes the same framework-grounded analysis. The difference is depth and hands-on support.

Common Questions
What makes this different from McKinsey or Mercer?
We focus on companies with 50-500 employees — the mid-market sweet spot that's too small for enterprise consultants ($200K+ engagements) but too complex for DIY. Our assessments are proprietary, our frameworks are academic, and our recommendations are specific.
Do you sell EOR services?
No. We're independent. We recommend the right EOR (or entity setup, or contractor structure) based on your specific situation — not based on which platform pays us a commission.
What's the Talent Navigator Lens?
Our proprietary behavioral assessment methodology that measures organizational readiness across 5 domains: Strategic Vision, Cross-Cultural Communication, Operational Adaptability, Compliance Orientation, and Talent Development. It identifies specific gaps that predict international expansion failures.
How long does an engagement take?
Readiness Audit: 2 weeks. Expansion Roadmap: 4 weeks. Full Implementation: 8 weeks plus 3 months of support. We move fast because the frameworks do the heavy lifting.
