    The Hidden Cost of Assumptions

    If the Familiarity Trap is the disease, the hidden cost of assumptions is the bill. In this episode, I put numbers on what happens when companies cross the Atlantic without questioning their instincts: 68% of failed transatlantic expansions trace back to cultural assumptions made in the first 90 days. I'll talk about the concept of “cultural operating systems”, the invisible rules governing how business gets done on each side of the Atlantic and explain why running your American operating system on European infrastructure (or vice versa) breaks things in ways you won’t see coming. In This EpisodeThe French energy company whose growing US revenue masked a team falling apart and why nobody saw it comingWhy 68% of failed transatlantic expansions trace back to assumptions made in the first 90 daysCultural operating systems: what the computer analogy reveals about why business cultures are incompatible without translationThe American OS (speed, individual accountability, 70% and iterate) vs. the European OS (depth, consensus, 85% before you move)How one fintech company hired a single local advisor and rewrote their entire go-to-market in three monthsThe three-phase framework: Observe, Translate, Pilot and why the companies that slow down spend less moneySources & Links MentionedStudies & Data:70% of international business ventures fail due to cultural misunderstandings : Academic research on cross-border failures (GRIN)Cross-border M&A failure rates of 70–90% : Harvard Business Review: A Better Approach to Mergers and AcquisitionsEACC Transatlantic Expansion Barometer (survey of 200 US & European mid-size businesses) : EACC France / OCO GlobalPrevious Episode:Episode 1: The Familiarity Trap: Why the Atlantic feels easy and isn’tAbout "Crossing the Atlantic"Crossing the Atlantic is a biweekly podcast for business leaders expanding across the ocean.

    The Familiarity Trap: Your biggest transatlantic danger

    Why does doing business across the Atlantic feel so easy, and why does that feeling cost companies more than expanding into markets they recognize as foreign? In this episode, I break down what I call The Familiarity Trap: the false sense of alignment created by a shared language, shared tools, and shared conference circuits that leads companies on both sides of the Atlantic to skip the cultural preparation they'd do for any other market. I share two stories of transatlantic deals derailed by invisible cultural assumptions, introduce the Cultural Operating System diagnostic and explain why the companies that succeed aren't smarter or richer, but the ones who start by questioning what they think they know.In This Episode  •  Why companies entering Japan prepare for culture shock but companies crossing the Atlantic don't, and why that costs more  •  The French CEO whose "hot pipeline" went silent after enthusiastic American meetings  •  The American team that walked away from German prospects who were actively trying to buy  •  The Cultural Operating System diagnostic: five questions to ask before you spend six figures  •  What "yes," "no," "fast," and "direct" actually mean on each side of the AtlanticSources & Links MentionedStudies & Data:  •  70% of international business ventures fail due to cultural misunderstandings Academic research on cross-border M&A failures (GRIN)  •  Cross-border M&A failure rates of 70–90% Harvard Business Review: A Better Approach to Mergers and Acquisitions  •  EACC Transatlantic Expansion Barometer (survey of 200 US & European mid-size businesses) EACC France / OCO Global  •  US-EU trade totaled $1.5 trillion in goods and services in 2024 — Office of the United States Trade Representative  •  The Transatlantic Economy 2026 report — U.S. Chamber of CommerceAbout Crossing the AtlanticCrossing the Atlantic is a biweekly podcast for business leaders expanding across the ocean.
