India, the market of the future

The Indian market is becoming increasingly interesting for German companies. However, according to Bergthaler (2017), more than 50 percent of joint ventures fail in the first three years and 80 percent of Indo-German joint ventures even fail long term. Soft factors, such as differences in organizational cultures, are usually at the root of this major problem.

Do you consider to promote changes in your Indian branch in order to increase your success potential?

With Interchange we offer you an approach by which we jointly develop, implement and evaluate solutions.

„Culture eats strategy for breakfast“ (Peter Drucker)

Our consulting concept supports Indo-German companies and organizations in realizing change processes. In the course of this process we help you to identify intercultural misunderstandings, to respond to them adequately and to prevent them in the future.
We work with state of the art and scientifically validated concepts and models of personnel, organizational and management development and guide and train your team so that you can deal autonomously with intercultural challenges.

Interchange: Intercultural Change Management

We are specialized in the utilization of culture-specific, mutual support, consulting and optimization potentials of Indo-German corporations. This is where we set in and this is where our expertise is based on.
With us you can advance your business efforts in India.

Development

The consulting concept was developed in cooperation with MTO Psychological Research and Consulting GmbH, the Excellence Initiative and the Asia-Orient Institute of the University of Tuebingen. After the initial development, the approach was evaluated by external experts and evaluated as very promising. In 2019, the concept was piloted and subsequently further improved at an Indian branch of a renowned German company.
We attach great value to combining practical experience from industry with state of the art scientific methods and management consulting approaches. To this end, we engage and maintain a lively exchange between experts from Germany and India.

Methodology

Our consulting concept consists of three modules, which can also be used individually:

  1. Diagnosis: The present status of the focused organisational unit is determined using a multi-method approach.

  2. Change Process: We use the implicit knowledge of employees in tandem with our expertise to initiate, accompany and guide change.

  3. Evaluation: The interim results of the measures implemented are reviewed and adjusted to ensure a targeted approach.
