aQmen Inc. develops template for establishing footprint in foreign markets

Toronto, ON, July 2, 2009

aQmen Inc. has developed a comprehensive and practical template that companies can use to go global. Known as the iSMARTE™ framework, or Informed and Structured Market Acquisition Route to Transcontinental Expansion, the template provides companies with the know-how they need and the discipline that’s essential to succeed in foreign markets. For businesses not versed in operating abroad, the comprehensive framework enables companies to produce an educated and measured response to the international opportunity, wiring them with four genres of cognizance to help expand overseas, in four stages and ten systematic steps. If followed carefully, success in a foreign market can be achieved in 12-20 months.

How it works. The iSMARTE™ framework was designed to deliver experiential learning. Steeped in a strong practical bias, businesses are paired with a veteran international coach who administers the four-stage framework on company premises, working shoulder to shoulder with the CEO and his or her senior team. A full-time team member, the coach tackles international complexities by providing a turnkey, customized solution; establishes approach, crafts vision, maps out strategy and navigates execution speed bumps. As well, the coach provides a deep reservoir of investor and professional contacts.
