92 %
8 %
Only 8 % of decisions are based on relevant external data BECAUSE IT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE COMPANY
Challenge 3: Stuck in the past
3/5/2015 Copyright © M-Brain 2015 8
Internal reports tell you what has worked and what has not worked but they do not tell you what you should do right now, least of all what you should do tomorrow.
Challenge 4: Information in silos
3/5/2015 Copyright © M-Brain 2015 9
Information, experience, knowledge, everything in a modern company tends to be in SILOS – hard to access, hard to even know what already exists.
Challenge 5: Too much information, not enough knowledge

Challenges of Internationalization
3/5/2015 Copyright © M-Brain 2015 18
1. Financing: everything costs! 2. Branding: global brand launch needs funds, competence,
resources, time! 3. Recruiting: it is hard to build up a world class team! 4. Leading sales: controlling, motivating and understanding sales
staff in various cultural surroundings is a hard task! 5. Engaging people behind a joint strategy: harmonizing local
corporate cultures and overcoming resistance without loosing people’s motivation!
6. Understanding foreign customers: listen to your local people! 7. Management in general: geographical distance makes it harder!
