Testimonials

"Five years after our acquisition of a US company, we were still experiencing difficulties integrating the organization into our global umbrella, resulting in operational and financial inefficiencies and our inability to yield the expected ROI.

In less than 3 months, Lan Strickland's company, ADDAPT, was able to assess and identify not only the cultural (cross-border and cross-company cultures) challenges, but also several key strategic business and operational roadblocks. Through its cultural sensitivities, management experience and proprietary DNAtionTM process, ADDAPT identified key issues and created a detailed and thorough strategy for addressing them. Lan's own familiarity with French and American mores and global business practices were integral in making this engagement the success it was. Her recommendations were culturally insightful, practical and straightforward,  helping us achieve our long-term strategy objectives.

Following this initial engagement, we didn't hesitate to retain ADDAPT's expertise to assist in the implementation of its strategic recommendations."

Praise for Lan Strickland

"Lan Strickland is a true business professional with that unique ability to operate successfully in cross cultural and multi cultural environments. Her depth of experience and ability to tackle problems from different angles helped us navigate many projects safely around obstacles which seemed impossible at first sight.

Her business knowledge and sound financial literacy also helped us craft business models which would quickly highlight any flaws in our business strategy and allow us to re-set the thinking into more sound and financially viable directions."
