10. As far as I know, you are expert in strategic planning. In the past 7 years, I have come across the opinion that strategy in the classical sense has “died”, and 3-5 year planning horizon is a modern strategy (at least it’s true for the businesses from the post-Soviet union countries). How do you feel about this?
11. What would you focus on in strategic planning if you were the CEO of a Ukrainian company during the war? For what period would strategic planning be carried out? Would you continue to develop your company on the local market? I am interested in your opinion in general about strategic planning during war and in conditions of high uncertainty.
12. Could you please tell us about your experience of managing representative offices in different countries from the finance and taxation point of view. What principles were used to build an effective reporting management system, because we all know that different countries have different reporting deadlines, audit requirements and so on? Are there any your own “life-hacks” on this matter? When setting up business processes whom you rely on more: local employees or outsource? If outsource, how did you choose such companies? What would you prefer international or local companies?
13. Please reveal the issue of multiculturalism in a large organization. How much does it affected your work? How did you arrange it? Has it been possible to develop a corporate culture that is the same for all offices? Had it been adapted to different countries? If so, what was the adaptation?
