Leveraging Human Differences for Global Growth
-
Decades of diversity research have shown that, in business organizations...

• Human differences can contribute to enhanced unit performance: heterogeneity of ideas and perspectives leads to greater creativity and much broader applicability of solutions.

 
• Human differences also can create barriers, so they need to be skillfully leveraged; building performance synergy in a culturally diverse, far-flung unit is as complex as it is urgent.

Value and behavior differences need to be leveraged.  Until this is done, and done well and consistently, any firm's global growth arsenal remains incomplete.  For beyond mere inclusion lies an informed, systemic approach to globalization that...

• embraces new patterns of thinking and behaving grounded in business-oriented anthropological and intercultural research; and

 
• generates infrastructures, systems, and processes that support the leveraging of human value differences for global revenue growth.

GROVEWELL knows that efficient and effective strategy implementation begins with a strategy design process that actively involves key leaders from the beginning, thus bypassing cumbersome and ineffective handoffs from design to implementation.  This implies...

• Close partnership with those who are accountable for strategy development in order to build company-specific solutions.

 
• Seeking agreement during strategy development with those leaders who ultimately will be responsible for implementation.

The process begins as GROVEWELL's team carries out a series of document reviews, interviews, and personnel surveys in order to reveal how things currently get done throughout the client firm's functions, operations, and locations.  The team then meets with the client's senior executives to present and discuss the results, clarify issues, and begin setting strategic priorities.  Separate meetings also may occur with leaders of various divisions, brands, and locations, during with the GROVEWELL team explores their units' unique requirements and execution-upgrade needs.

To insure enduring success, GROVEWELL explores global strategy options in human-values and organizational context.  The client's local cultures, daily processes, employee mindsets, and unit performances come under scrutiny for alignment with the emerging global strategy objectives. 

Among other factors examined by the GROVEWELL team are international business values and practices, senior leaders' mindsets, culturally sensitive performance metrics, virtual team excellence, worldwide infrastructures, and global learning cultures.

GROVEWELL’s deliverable is a set of comprehensive recommendations for a strategy-based transformation leading to global revenue growth, and for steps to insure efficient implementation to that end.-
