Is your UK company involved in a takeover, integration or merger with another business in Europe, the Far East or Eastern Europe?

Different countries have different approaches to business and communication which can become a stumbling block to progress. There can be initial reluctance and anxiety about losing control or autonomy. UK businesses need to pace and lead businesses in other countries, while understanding that they may evolve at a different pace.

Pole Star can help to integrate different cultures by holding the big picture at all times and creating a shared purpose. We help leaders shift mindsets so all stakeholders realise the benefits, buy in to the idea/proposition, see the collective gain and motivate their teams to make it happen.

We can also help individuals to understand and appreciate cultural differences and value other people. For example, native humour does not always translate appropriately. We help people of different cultures to open up, learn, share and have fun. When it’s easier to work together, it’s easier to do the job and achieve results.

Are you struggling to combine two equally powerful brands under one banner?

It demands a specific set of skills to enable the strongest brand to survive (not just the strongest ego!). We can help you manage the conflict and enable integration to take place.
