When millions of dollars, euros or pounds sterling are at stake…and you’re asking a company to make fundamental changes to how they work day-by-day, how can you afford to overlook cultural fit?
Throughline is pioneering vendor advisory services to help outsourcing companies address culture and its impact proactively, before the honeymoon period ends and the vendor-outsourcer relationship begins to sour.
As the sole UK certified provider of Itim Focus cultural mapping (based on the influential model of Gerhard Hofstede), Throughline is uniquely placed to support vendors in their pursuit not simply of profitable contracts but also prosperous engagements.
Proactively addressing culture means:
- assessing your own company’s organisational and national culture matrix
- pinpointing the faultines where, because of cultural dynamics, your service may falter
- inviting your client or prospective client for a cultural assessment
- using cultural mapping of client teams to characterise the best possible service teams you compose to support them, day by day
- incorporating culture change and cultural interchange activities into your client relationships to nurture and energise the outsourcing relationship on an ongoing basis
