Your company, compared to a tribe ?

We chose the image of the « Xavantes »,

a Brazilian warrior tribe, because we believe that the culture of integrating all decision makers of an organization in the "quest" for the most appropriate strategy is a key to today´s globalization efforts! Your company needs to identify and maintain its values and knowledge base to succeed in globalization, a lot more than in your "home grounds".

Xavantes, “tribe of the truth”, are a Brazilian tribe, 10.000 people installed in the protected territory of the Mato Grosso. Chased since the XIV century, these innovative warriors have always known how to migrate and to integrate themselves in new geographical zones, while preserving their traditions, like for example the culture of resistance to pain. One of these traditions is that villages, composed of huts, are always arranged in the form of a horse shoe, near a water source, having a large central meeting place, the "Wara".

At the Wara, all members of a tribe discuss every evening the problems encountered, and transfer their knowledge in large discussion sessions. No decision is taken without a risk analysis and the adhesion of the “chiefs” of the tribe. A part of this adhesion approach has been adapted by us for our unique brainstorming sessions before or after merger, before or after a Country Entry Strategy has been decided.

Our Approach :

Unite international experts and your internal management for your local success

The secret of our company resides in the way we approach a project: in its complete context. A movement always generates another movement, but did you really anticipate it? While entering into a specific country, did you have the time to analyse the costs for quality insurance, the danger of non-respect of confidentiality, the important turnaround of employees in certain countries? Xavantes assists you to unite all the necessary know-how to be able to make the right choice for a global move, which takes into account all necessary risks involved, to avoid failure. Sometimes with the final decision for a “No Go”.

Unite international experts and your internal management teams around common objectives and projects for your company:

• Anticipate your acquisitions, your global presence, your partnerships and Joint Ventures
• Reduce your production or development costs and improve your agility, if necessary by externalizing some products, services or R&D work to Emerging Countries
• Recruit, manage and train your talents and leaders while planning your globalization.
• Ensure the efficiency and lasting of your local projects.

It is also our role to handle your projects locally in these countries. We will mobilize the respective internal and external expertise and create necessary adhesion.
