Our 3 Signature Workshops

Helping leaders anticipate change, strengthen international capabilities and accelerate sustainable growth.


These executive workshops draw on more than 25 years of operational experience in international business development, export management and leadership across diverse intercultural environments.


This experience combines a strong understanding of the French and German business environments with extensive management experience within a Japanese industrial group, where Éric Le Tallec acted as a bridge between Japanese corporate leadership, European organizations and local markets.


This experience provides a deep understanding of different decision-making processes, management cultures and stakeholder expectations, as well as a particularly valuable perspective for building successful collaboration within international and cross-cultural organizations.

Strategic Foresight & International Business Development

Anticipate changes. Identify opportunities earlier. Make better international growth decisions.

In an increasingly uncertain global environment, companies cannot rely solely on forecasts to guide their international development. Geopolitical shifts, technological disruption, regulatory changes and rapidly evolving markets are reshaping the conditions for growth. The companies that succeed internationally are not those that predict the future, but those that prepare for multiple possible futures.


This executive workshop combines Strategic Foresight and International Business Development to help leaders anticipate change, identify emerging opportunities and make more robust international growth decisions.


What participants will gain

  • A structured foresight methodology to explore possible futures affecting their industry & target markets.
  • Practical decision-making tools to assess and prioritise international growth options.
  • Early identification of emerging opportunities and threats before they become visible to competitors.
  • Greater strategic agility in the face of economic, technological and geopolitical uncertainty.
  • A concrete action roadmap translating foresight insights into measurable international business development initiatives.


Business impact

Strategic Foresight helps companies move from a reactive approach to an anticipatory mindset.

It enables leadership teams to:

  • Secure international investments
    Reduce exposure to unexpected market shifts and make better-informed commitments.
  • Prioritise growth markets
    Focus resources on markets and opportunities with the strongest potential.
  • Strengthen competitive advantage
    Identify emerging trends, new business models and market opportunities earlier.
  • Accelerate innovation & diversification
    Turn weak signals and market changes into new strategic options.
  • Build more resilient international strategies
    Prepare for several possible futures rather than relying on a single forecast.


Designed for :

CEOs & Managing Directors | Strategy Leaders | International Business Development Directors | Export & Sales Leaders | Business Unit Managers


A practical, executive-level workshop

This is not a theoretical exercise in predicting the future.

Participants work on real business challenges, markets and strategic questions, using foresight tools to explore alternative scenarios and translate them into concrete decisions and actions.


Custom-designed executive workshop | 1 or 2 days | From 12 participants | In-company or multi-company

THE CB2i CONSULTING DIFFERENCE

As a facilitator, CB2i Consulting brings hands-on experience developed over many years in applying strategic foresight to international business development.


This experience was gained in particular within a Business Unit of a major Japanese industrial group, where strategic foresight, market intelligence and the anticipation of market developments were directly integrated into the management of international business and the identification of new growth opportunities.


CB2i Consulting therefore combines strategic foresight with hands-on international business development experience, turning the exploration of possible futures into better-informed decisions and concrete growth options.

Intercultural Teams & Value Creation

Turn cultural differences into a driver of business performance and value creation.

International alliances, joint ventures and M&A create significant growth opportunities — but their success depends on more than strategy, financial performance or operational synergies.


Cultural differences can either become a source of friction or a powerful driver of value creation.

This executive workshop helps leaders and international teams understand and leverage cultural differences to secure strategic partnerships, accelerate integration and maximise the value of international growth initiatives.


Research on international strategic alliances highlights cultural due diligence, intercultural awareness and targeted training as key success factors.


What participants will gain

  • A structured foresight methodology to explore possible futures affecting their industry & target markets.
  • Practical decision-making tools to assess and prioritise international growth options.
  • Early identification of emerging opportunities and threats before they become visible to competitors.
  • Greater strategic agility in the face of economic, technological and geopolitical uncertainty.
  • A concrete action roadmap translating foresight insights into measurable international business development initiatives.


Business impact

The workshop helps organisations:

  • Reduce integration risks
    Identify cultural friction points before they affect performance.
  • Accelerate post-merger integration
    Build trust and alignment across teams and organisations.
  • Protect expected synergies
    Ensure that cultural differences do not undermine the value created by the transaction.
  • Strengthen international partnerships
    Create stronger relationships based on mutual understanding and trust.
  • Improve international decision-making
    Align headquarters, subsidiaries and local teams around shared objectives.
  • Build sustainable international collaboration
    Turn cultural diversity into a long-term competitive advantage.

A practical, executive-level workshop

From intercultural awareness to business performance.


The CB2i Consulting workshop connects intercultural understanding with real business challenges, helping participants move beyond cultural awareness to improve integration, collaboration, decision-making and value creation.


THE CB2i CONSULTING DIFFERENCE

For 15 years, Eric le Tallec worked at the interface between Japanese management and European customers, developing a first-hand understanding of what it takes to communicate, negotiate and make decisions across different cultural perspectives. Over the past five years, he also worked closely with a University Professor specialising in intercultural management, contributing to research and professional work on intercultural management in Asia and Europe.

This academic and field experience came together through his contribution to Olivier Meier's latest book on intercultural management, for which he co-authored a 15-page business case based on real-world international management experience.

Featured Guest – “La Planète Demain” (Nov 10th 2024) & Interview " Whos Who in France"  (Dec 17th/2024)
Following the publication in late 2024 of a book exploring intergenerational collaboration in companies, co-written with Olivier Meier, Éric Le Tallec was interviewed on international business growth strategies and the role of collective intelligence, innovation and intergenerational collaboration in export success.  


“ In Japan, intergenerational collaboration is seen as a source of sustainable competitive advantage. In international negotiations, a well-prepared team combining experience and new perspectives often creates more value than any individual expert. A company is ultimately recognised not only for its products and services, but also for the quality of its collective intelligence.”

THE CB2i CONSULTING DIFFERENCE

Collective intelligence is not only about working better together. It is also about winning international markets together.


Building on more than 25 years of international business development experience, this Executive Workshop brings together collective intelligence, intergenerational collaboration and international growth strategies.


In many Asian companies, the ability to combine experience, different generations and new perspectives to build collective strength has long been recognized as a key success factor, particularly in international negotiations and in building long-term business relationships.


This workshop brings that perspective to the challenges faced by international companies and shows how the collective strength of a team can be harnessed to enter new markets more effectively, strengthen international negotiations and build sustainable business relationships.


Diversity therefore becomes not only a cultural asset, but a concrete driver of international business development and measurable economic performance.
