Lessons learnt through multiple office launches Developing a playbook for expansion: how do you use existing staff to get the most out of a new country launch? When should you hire locally and who should they report to? How can you leverage existing assets (e.g. clients) to get traction faster? Once you are set up how do you keep communication and connection going to ensure you operate as a unit and don’t develop silo mentality?
Buy or build new markets: Balancing speed and risk If you want to rapidly scale into new markets, what is the best strategy? Do you build your own team, or buy an existing company to accelerate? Both have advantages and disadvantages, and options to buy might not be available in all markets. Joakim will talk about how to identify suitable markets, and how they have succeeded (and failed) with different strategies.
