For businesses

Deals that close in new markets. Hires who stay. Teams that don’t grind.

Cross-cultural friction is not a people problem. It is a gap between how your people work, and it becomes visible once you know where to look. CultureFlow shows every person on your team where the gaps sit and what to do about them: before the meeting, the email, and the first week.

One team, five Signatures. Example shapes.

Where teams feel it

Three places the gap costs you.

Sales teams entering new markets

Your reps’ sequences convert at home and stall abroad.

For revenue leaders and RevOps in B2B companies selling across borders.

Half of executives surveyed by the Economist Intelligence Unit admit communication misunderstandings have derailed a major cross-border deal and cost their company money (EIU, Competing across borders, 2012, n=572). COMPASS reads each prospect’s and customer’s cultural context and adapts the outreach, the call, the meeting, and the follow-up, so a team selling into five markets is not running one playbook into five different ways of building trust.

Multicultural and distributed teams

The meeting went fine. Nobody said so, but everyone felt it didn’t.

When a team spans cultures, generations, and backgrounds, the same words land differently, and the friction gets blamed on a person. Each team member’s Cultural Signature makes the gaps visible. CONNECT briefs them for the 1:1, the leadership meeting, and the workshop, reading both people in the room.

Onboarding international hires

You hired for excellence. The friction was never about competence.

Harvard Business Review research across roughly 750 companies found that 10 to 20% of managers sent abroad return early, and nearly a third of those who stay underperform against expectations (Black and Gregersen, HBR, 1999). Hiring managers get a CONNECT briefing before the interview, and the new hire’s first weeks start with the gaps named rather than guessed.

How working with us looks

Talk, pilot, roll out.

Talk to us.

Tell us about the team and what is not working.

Pilot with one team.

Pick one team and the conversations that are not working, inside the organisation or with prospects and customers. Everyone gets their Cultural Signature, then the product built for their scenarios. An optional facilitated workshop puts the whole team’s map in one room.

Roll out.

Extend to the teams that need it next, on one invoice, with the pilot’s evidence in hand.

Pricing for teams is a conversation. Details on the pricing page.

Vet it yourself first

Form your own view before you bring us a team question.

Get your own Cultural Signature, run a CONNECT briefing for a real meeting this week, and see how it reads. Then talk to us about your team.

Frequently asked questions

How do you reduce cross-cultural friction in a distributed team?

Make the gaps visible before they get blamed on a person. When every team member can see how their working style differs from their colleagues’, friction becomes something the team works with rather than something one person carries.

How do you onboard international hires so they stay?

Name the gaps in the first weeks instead of discovering them in month six. Brief the hiring manager before the interview, give the new hire a read on the team they are joining, and treat the differences as working material rather than a performance issue.

How does a CultureFlow pilot work?

You tell us about one team and what is not working, inside the organisation or with prospects and customers. That team gets Cultural Signatures and the product built for their scenarios, CONNECT or COMPASS, with an optional facilitated workshop to put the whole team’s map in one room. The pilot’s evidence decides the roll-out.
