Growing Global
Growing Global explores how companies can best understand, meet, and overcome the many challenges they face when it comes to global expansion.
Embrace new markets
Companies are actively growing and investing to cut through competition.
Many of those will be in new markets. In our 2025 C-suite barometer, most executives indicated they planned to expand to at least one new country in the next five years, and highlighted the USA, Germany, UK, China and Canada as the top countries targeted for expansion.
Motivated by increased competition within their own sectors, leaders must also anticipate and react to new entrants from other industries empowered by new digital technologies.
In the most recent C-suite barometer, 83% of all businesses said they were looking to expand internationally.
Navigating regulatory complexity
Master compliance to unlock international growth
Expanding into new markets brings opportunity - and escalating regulatory hurdles. From financial and cyber-security regulation to ESG and data privacy demands, navigating this shifting global landscape requires deep insight and strategic planning.
Read curated insights to guide businesses through evolving requirements - helping organisations forecast changes, build resilient data-compliant operations, and turn complexity into a confident roadmap for international expansion.
Harnessing the power of reporting and data insights
Turning reporting into a growth advantage.
As businesses expand into new markets, reporting is often seen only as a compliance burden. Yet, with the right foundations and use of data-driven insights, it can become a powerful tool to guide international growth.
Explore how leaders can strengthen reporting, harness AI, and prepare for shifting regulations – turning compliance into a strategic advantage and building the resilience needed to succeed globally.
Digitise to thrive
Big data analytics and artificial intelligence are transforming how every company does business, regardless of size or structure.
C-suite executives around the world identify digitalisation as a top investment priority, as data-led strategy becomes a pre-requisite for successful global growth. In this series we consider how companies can shape a digital strategy to grow, identify the right new markets and develop robust operations and supply chains, managing risks and reaching new opportunities.
Think like the locals.
“Successful expansion into new markets isn’t just about numbers or technology, it’s about people and cultural nuances. When you listen and learn from those with local experience, your growth journey becomes much easier.” - Karl Bygrave, International Group Director, Lush
