My current role is beginning to open up and their are a lot of potential opportunities on the horizon. Currently I am being probed to see if I would be interested in the idea of leading a transition in London England followed by Quebec Canada, Rio De Janeiro Brazil. These are not projects, but engagements. I would be counted on to transition our current processes into other world hubs of our company. I think it's a great opportunity, but I don't have the experience yet to see the pros and cons, other than the really obvious ones.
This could lead into other countries as well. South Africa just to name another. But the 3 mentioned are the main hubs being considered. There are other smaller sites that I may have to visit as well. Lyon in France and others.
What can I expect? I think this is potentially a great opportunity for me to learn international business and move into a more strategic position. My boss has recommended some reading material, mostly all financial based liked forecasting, budgeting, and planning.
My concerns is that I am not quite ready and that some of my skill sets are still in development. Presenting, Finance, and Service Management just to name a few. I do have serious buy in from our customers and my boss and our management team.
Sorry for the rant but I am nervous and excited. I have a family and my fiancee said she would be upset if I didn't take an opportunity like this. The pay would increase, by how much I am not sure.
Thanks again for reading my word salad
One other thing I failed to mention is the time frame. The transitions are slated to go on for 1-3 months for each facility. Thanks again I would really like to hear some of the more senior guys chime in or people who global experience.
BTW I only speak english, this is something I am going to have to correct one of these days. I reallllllly need to learn another language, but C'est la vie.
