International Services

Ultimately,
business is people – and that’s true whether you operate exclusively in the
local Australian marketplace, or whether you’re an importer, exporter, or
both. We actively offer a range of services designed to support you in your
international business activities.
Virtual Teams
Small organisations that spread their wings globally face
significant problems in retaining the sense and spirit of teamwork which
they might have taken for granted when every staff member worked from the
one office. The challenges of geographic separation and different time
zones are profound, but solutions do exist. With the right approach your
worldwide “virtual team” can be every bit as effective as the team in
your home office. |

Getting the Right People for the Job
A Technical Officer in Tokyo? A Human Resources Manager in
Hong Kong? Whatever your needs, we can help. With some exceptions we
don’t operate as a conventional recruitment agency within Australia. But
we do specialise in getting the right people for key roles in
internationalised companies. Naturally this includes ensuring that the
newcomer (and family if appropriate) is prepared for the challenges of
working in a foreign country. |
Doing Business in Another Culture
Do you return a “wai” in Thailand? Does "yes"
mean "yes" in India? Do you start off with all your cards on the
table in Germany? Do you bow in Japan? These and countless other cultural
nuances are traps for the unwary businessperson. But while you can’t
necessarily learn every variation overnight, you can certainly learn
strategies which will make sure you navigate the cultural currents with a
maximum of comfort. |

Training
Delivery of training overseas offers a number of
significant challenges. We successfully train local employees for
companies represented in a number of Asian and European locations. By
popular local demand, we regularly run a range of general “public”
courses in SE Asia. |
Foreign Acquisitions
Working with companies who have acquired (or been acquired
by) foreign companies to achieve cultural harmony and a synergy of systems
and resources to ensure the opportunities and returns are maximised and
long term goals secured. |
