What We Do

Opening the doors to success, world-wide.

We optimize performance enterprise-wide in areas including sales, marketing, operations, finance, IT and supply chain.

We help companies to assess their multinational processes and cross cultural competence and challenges and develop strategies that will help them profitably, efficiently, and harmoniously do business across cultures, by performing a needs assessment using our proprietary BMIA model, and implementing training based on that model when appropriate.

The role of culture profoundly impacts all companies currently operating in or looking to expand into the global marketplace. A failure to understand the underlying business culture of a foreign market can cause a company to lose market share, sacrifice the efficiency of its supply change, ineffectively manage a multinational work force, scale ineffectively or otherwise miss business opportunities it could have had with the proper strategic planning or training. Businesses cannot be successful doing business internationally unless they understand the cultural motivations for why people choose to do business with others.

Over the last two decades Universal Consensus has developed, empirically tested, rolled out and honed a proprietary model called the BMIA [Business Model of Intercultural Analysis] that allows our clients with multi-cultural operations to leverage the power of culture to maximize their bottom line. Analyzing a global enterprise through the six comprehension lenses contained in the model guarantees a 360 degree analysis that augments opportunities and diminishes the challenges facing an organization that operates in multiple nations.

Our customized programs include executive coaching, consulting services and training sessions. We optimize performance enterprise-wide in areas including sales, marketing, operations, finance, IT and supply chain. Fortune 1000 businesses, domestic and foreign universities, the U.S. State Department, the military and our U.S. embassies abroad have utilized our approach to experience the positive power of culture in their operations. We look forward to providing your company with the tools to build a sustainable competitive advantage globally.
