Eight fields. Each one with a result you can check.

Under every field sits one base of methods: the strategy implementation approach, the organisational fitness check, the management meeting architecture and our PMI programme.

FIELD 01 / 08

Market Access & Representation

Your situation

You want to enter the other market quickly, without building an office first.

What we do

Registered address, representation towards authorities and partners, the first customers, local staff when it pays off.

Where we did it

A German family-owned company: our address, voice and first people in Japan for more than ten years.

FIELD 02 / 08

Interim, PMI & Turnaround

Your situation

No local leader, a change at the top, or you have to restructure, downsize or exit.

What we do

We take the role with authority and P&L responsibility, for a start-up, a turnaround or an integration, until your successor is in place.

Where we did it

Karmann Japan: plant built and started, parent insolvency carried, going concern sold to Magna.

FIELD 03 / 08

Alliances, Partnerships & M&A

Your situation

You are buying, selling or integrating a company across the border.

What we do

Target search, negotiation in both cultures, closing, and the post-merger integration most deals fail on.

Where we did it

A logistics-services group in Japan 2022–23: integration after buying its largest local competitor, two companies, one leadership team.

FIELD 04 / 08

Strategy & Business Development

Your situation

Growth has stalled: the strategy is good, but it does not land in the other market.

What we do

Initiatives with names, dates and numbers, carried into the organisation together with your managers.

Where we did it

A German automotive supplier: Japan market-entry roadmap and the acquisition of a Japanese business, initiated and implemented by CBI.

FIELD 05 / 08

IT Transformation & AI

Your situation

Your systems, processes and data don't match across the border.

What we do

Transformation in six dimensions: organisation, processes, systems, data, people and legal. AI where it carries, not everywhere.

Where we did it

We run CBI itself on this stack: CRM, project system and our own strategy cockpit.

FIELD 06 / 08

HR & Organisational Development

Your situation

Your global and local strategy are not aligned, and the organisation has to change with it.

FIELD 07 / 08
