OPPE Consulting is a
network of management professionals dedicated to improving intercultural relations,
communications and productivity. With more than 20 years of
 collective experience, our
consortium provides consultation, training, development to help regional organizations
foster understanding and gain knowledge relative to the intricacies of working, living and
operating internationally.
For example, upon relocation to another country, adapting to a new business environment
is vital to the success of the assignment, but integration into daily life is equally
important for the individual as well as the family unit. The goal is to maximize the
positive aspects of an overseas assignment and minimize its perplexities. Likewise, for
merging international companies…our support services facilitate cultural transitions.
Through global project management and tailored training programs, we address intercultural
challenges, both business and personal, to yield effective solutions!
