How To Scale Globally
Happy Thanksgiving guys!
Today we bring you another episode on the Starting Y Podcast, where we talk about the WHY of Entrepreneurship. This time we talk to two guests about the mindset you have to have from the start in order to scale globally. The basis of our discussion is the experience Aaron and Klaus gained in their previous positions, their activities in 10X Innovation Lab, as well as their Wallstreet Journal bestselling book Global Class.
Global scaling is one of the biggest challenges companies face in the business world today. In order to remain competitive and reach untapped global markets, businesses must adopt a global mindset and invest in global teams made up of skilled professionals who specialize in different areas. This strategic shift requires companies to rethink how they operate and scale their operations, as global markets have different needs. Companies should focus on localizing the customer experience while maintaining global consistency, as this complex process can be achieved by implementing a revision to the agile methodology so that resources are allocated for global projects. To take advantage of new global opportunities, companies need to use data-driven insights, invest in research and development, generate global content with local views, and foster cross-cultural collaboration between digital nomads and diverse global teams. Overall, to stay ahead in this changing landscape relentless innovation is necessary; only those companies with a global outlook can succeed in international markets.
