From Cleveland to Shanghai: How to Run a Globalization Audit of Your Business Processes

Monday, November 13, 2006

Why should your products/services/processes be designed and ready to “go global” from day 1? The answer is simple: three-quarters of the human race is bilingual and global trade is at USD 11 trillion and growing.
 
But to bridge the gap from Cleveland, Ohio (USA) to Nanjing, China (or from Nanjing to Cleveland, for that matter), there are some challenges that your organization must meet successfully – not the least of which will be to globalize your internal business processes. For example, can your Customer Service organization efficiently process all non-English emails received on any given day? If not, why not? What is required to move them to that point? Is it justified now? In 6 months? In a year? Preparing your products and services to go global will be the easy part; it’s your internal business processes company-wide that will take the most work.
 
Join Rebecca Ray, Managing Editor of the Globalization Insider and Silicon Valley veteran, to learn how to implement globalization as ‘just another business process’ through performing a Globalization Audit of your existing organization.
