Sprint
A scoped engagement to solve one growth problem
A focused piece of work with a clear goal: a market-entry plan, a channel test, or a campaign launch. Patric Sawada leads it and brings in the right local experts. Because the total depends on how many disciplines are involved, we scope and quote each Sprint individually.
- Kick-off and scoping session
- Patric Sawada plus the named experts the work needs
- Defined deliverables agreed up front
- A follow-up review when the work ships
Best for: Teams with one concrete problem to solve in a fixed window.
Workshop
Cross-cultural training for teams working across the corridor
A live, three-hour session for your team, delivered with our expert network. We cover the cultural and commercial ground your people need before they sell, negotiate, or build relationships across Europe and East Asia. The fee depends on cohort size and how much we tailor the material.
- One live 3-hour session, online or on-site
- Material tailored to your team and markets
- Delivered by Patric Sawada or a vetted network expert
- Practical takeaways your team can use the next day
Best for: Teams that need to get up to speed before working across cultures.
