Alice Arandia, Director at Finch Global Ltd, recently completed the CQ Certification Programme run by Cultural Intelligence Centre UK. Alice is now fully accredited to administer and deliver CQ assessments in their coaching and workshops. The CQ® framework is a globally recognised course, based on 20+ years of research, and has been tested by academic researchers in over 98 countries.
Alice notes: “I had been looking for a resource that would complement the consultancy and training I already provided. This accredited training seemed like a no-brainer.”
Many businesses aspire to expand internationally; however, it is not always as easy as simply launching in a new market. Knowing how to manage a successful business in international markets is critical for businesses looking to expand. You don’t want to underestimate the challenges that can arise as a result of differences in culture, regulatory frameworks, business customs, and consumer preferences.
Finch Global focuses on helping individuals and businesses adapt skills and approaches to effectively navigate cultural differences, business practices, and local market dynamics. Factors such as preferred style of leadership, management communication, and negotiation, as well as the perception of risk and personal relationships in business, are all very important areas to consider.
By recognising the importance of these skills and continually developing their cross-cultural competencies, managers can successfully navigate the complexities of foreign markets or multicultural teams and foster positive business outcomes.
Finch Global provides international business development and management consultancy for companies looking to expand in new or existing markets. Alice's certification as a Cultural Facilitator adds value to the organisations she collaborates with. By harnessing the power of cultural intelligence, Alice helps businesses create inclusive, innovative, and globally competitive workplaces.
