International Finance & BankingIncrease Your International Market Share and Reduce Risk in

Foreign Markets.

M&A and International Project Due Diligence & IntegrationAs we cross international business borders, the risk of doing business quadruples. Never

are the stakes higher than in an international venture or M&A. International enterprisesmust have a comprehensive pre-M&A knowledge of the omnipresent cultural motivations

and values that guide international stakeholders.

Universal Consensus not only do pre-M&A assessment, we can

also refine your key peoples cross cultural negotiation skills

presentation skills, and rapport building skills during the initial

phases of due diligence. This will significantly reduce cross

cultural communication barriers and let you gain a competitive

advantage during the negotiations process.

The cross cultural challenges do not end with negotiation closure.

Case study after case study, from the Chrysler-Daimler Benz

merger failure to countless other international partnerships

demonstrates that an evaluation of the potential disconnects and

recommendations for solutions would have eliminated or

significantly reduced the risk of failure. To successfully integrate

culturally diverse companies each must understand the cultural motivations, values, and

methods of collaboration and conflict resolution of the other.

The initial consultation is without cost to the client.

BMIA Cross-Cultural CertificationHave your key employees BMIA certified or integrate BMIA-training as a part of your

internal training program. BMIA is a framework that augments not only region -specific

cultural knowledge, but the understanding of cross-cultural interactions in general. With

BMIA certification you can be assigned or deployed anywhere in the world, even without

specific knowledge of that culture, and still be culturally effective & adaptable in that

region in the full spectrum of operations. Our BMIA certification is the preeminent

holistic and result oriented certification program available for cross-cultural business

competency today.

Optimizing International CommunicationLet us evaluate the potential disconnects in communication in your international work

forces that are inevitable when companies do business across cultures. In evaluate the

manner in which the respective cultures collaborate; you can significantly improve inter-

company interactions which lead to reduced costs and reduced cross-country risk. For

example, Universal Consensus can conduct an assessment to identify the barriers to

communication and operational efficiency between the United States headquarter and

global operations.

One client we helped with optimizing their global communication was WD-40 Company:

We have had the pleasure of retaining Universal Consensus to improve cross cultural

communication & awareness between our U.S. and U.K. offices. They very adeptly were able

to glean information from both offices, evaluate the challenges, and make significant

recommendations through their BMIA training and strategic follow up that have helped us

to move forward in a collaborative way. We witnessed immediate improvement & a new level

of collaboration, cooperation & understanding. We are better today because of the BMIAprogram.
