Being an Interpreneur and catalyst for your organization in adopting and implementing the Global Class Mindset means taking action. Taking this course is an important step, but it is just one step in the process.

To help your organization truly reach its full global potential you must help guide it through an evaluation of your organization’s global readiness. Do you have the internal alignment, commitment to global growth as the top growth driver, action around the Four Commitments for Successful Global Growth, and buy-in for adopting the Global Class Mindset?

From there, are you formalizing the localization process? Establishing the right processes and structures (which we called Momentum Builders) to support global scale? Have you built a team that has the interpreneurial mindset as well as an overlap of company and local knowledge? Have you established a strategy for navigating cultural conflicts? Does your organization’s management have a formalized strategy to foster two-way innovation and overcome the obstacles of operating a diverse and distributed team across a global footprint?

Mastering global growth is so difficult and there are so many moving parts that it’s natural to forget something

This course shouldn’t just be something you go through once from start to finish. It is a great reference to call on when specific scenarios arise. In fact, we designed the course with this in mind. Instead of hour-long sessions, our videos are short and targeted around a specific topic so that you can find the specific answer you need related to a unique sub-topic so you have the reminders you need the moment a specific scenario arises. 

We hope that the resources we've created will not only benefit executives aiming to reach targets or metrics but also positively impact communities and assist companies in fulfilling community-minded missions. The principles of balancing localization and complexity, which form the foundation of global agile, along with the structures and processes that drive momentum and accelerate scale, can be used as a force for collective good.

Global Class Companies have a responsibility to empower and enable global economies, communities, and individuals

By engaging in culturally conscious disruption, the Global Class can uplift local economies. Through distributed work, they can expand access to wealth and knowledge. This does not entail giving away profits, but rather adopting a global mindset and extending the financial impact of the company to include the local communities where customers and employees are based. 

Realize you aren’t alone. One of our primary goals has been to make global growth a shared experience, instead of the solitary one it has often been to date. Be an active participant in the interpreneurial community you are now part of. Connect with other Interpreneurs. Share best practices. There is a growing group of globally-minded Interpreneurs that you can join; strive to make global business a shared experience instead of a solitary one. We are putting our Interpreneur hats on, a tool kit of Global Class resources on our backs, and are heading off on our mission. Will you join us?
