Compliance enables entry, but cultural alignment determines whether your business actually succeeds. Strong domestic performance proves viability, but not transferability across legal and cultural systems. International expansion is often discussed as if it were a question of appetite: if the domestic business is strong, if capital is available, and if the target market looks large enough, then growth abroad can seem like the natural next step. However, we have found that the real question is not whether a…

That means creating an environment where people feel safe to experiment. Every company has an innovation strategy.…
