In an increasingly volatile world, it's hard enough to decypher current events, let alone predict future ones.   When approaching new geographical markets, we can help you establish local networks and relationships, enabling you to respond to all possible scenarios - even a change in government.

Our team can assist you on the ground, especially with winning new contracts and concessions.  We can identify, profile, and introduce you to key government decision-makers and opinion-formers.   We can present you with potential business partnerships including with local agents, families, and companies. And we can link you up with relevant advisers - all the while building your relationships with national media figures and community leaders.

We can also provide an outline of the national or regional power map from an almost anthropological perspective so you're attuned to the particular business culture, how distinct groups behave and interact, and the local ‘rules of the game’.  In so doing, we’ll navigate you away from pitfalls, failures, and disputes.

For larger assignments, we can also set up a dedicated local office to handle business diplomacy, PR, government relations and corporate social responsibility for the duration of a bidding process or a contract's life span.  With the client's permission and applying strict confidentiality we may bring in consultants or contractors who have relevant geographical expertise, with multi-disciplinary backgrounds including academics, journalists or former diplomats.
