The Origo Essentials

Four keys for intelligent access to emerging markets.

1

Maintain business focus.

Intelligent access begins with your core competencies. Build on the things you do best. Make sure your work in emerging markets aligns with corporate strategy. A strong business focus will keep your team on track to achieve the results your company is looking for.

2

Integrate local knowledge.

Build relationships with the people who live and work in the region you want to enter. Listen to them. Encourage them to teach you about the local culture, beliefs, and lifestyle. Even better, invite them to become an integrated part of your business model so they have an incentive to help you succeed. There is no better way to understand how your products and services fit in the unique context of their lives.

3

Be open to unusual partnerships.

New forms of collaboration can accelerate your emerging-market success. Join a "cluster," a group of private businesses focused on achieving common emerging market goals. Partner with non-governmental organizations for their local expertise and access to social-purpose capital.

4

Define and articulate a clear story.

Make sure that all of your stakeholders' employees, partners, customers, and investors' know what you are doing and why you are doing it. Your base-of-the-pyramid story can provide meaning, build team spirit, and inspire commitment.
