Our Framework
Assess. Develop a Plan.
Implement & Accompany.
Every engagement follows the same three-part method and is based on our EBCF™ - Gath & Resseguie Evidence-Based Collaboration Framework™ system — not because one size fits all teams, but because skipping a step is exactly how most cross-cultural training fails to change anything.
Implement & Accompany
A plan only works if it gets used. We stay involved as your team puts the roadmap into practice — available through our Executive Coaching add-on for ongoing, one-on-one support — so new habits take hold instead of fading a month after the session ends.
Available via Executive Coaching, 3 months
Assess
We start with a structured diagnostic session, not a generic culture survey. Grounded in Dr. Gath's doctoral research on communication dynamics in high-stakes settings, we listen for where hierarchy, feedback expectations, and decision-making norms actually diverge between your US and German colleagues — the specific friction, not the textbook version of it.
Delivered within your half-day engagement
Develop a Tailored Plan
From what surfaces in the assessment, we write a specific communication and leadership roadmap — not a template repurposed from another client, but a plan addressing your team's actual patterns. Dr. Resseguie's 21 years of transatlantic leadership experience shapes what's realistic to change quickly versus what needs sustained attention.

Why this works
Research-grounded diagnosis
Dr. Gath's Ph.D. research examined communication dynamics in high-stakes interpersonal settings — the same close attention to what's actually said versus what's meant applies directly to cross-border team friction.
Lived transatlantic leadership
Dr. Resseguie's 21 years of transatlantic experience means the plan reflects what's actually workable inside a real organization, not just what's theoretically ideal.
Firsthand organizational leadership
Dr. Gath led an organization through day-to-day change as Managing Partner and Chief Learning Officer — this isn't advice from outside the room.
Built to be used, not filed away
Every step produces something concrete — a diagnosis, a written plan, ongoing support — so the engagement ends with action, not just awareness.
