17 ways global team leaders can balance consistency and regional autonomy
For managers overseeing teams across multiple countries, striking the right balance between global consistency and local autonomy can determine whether your team feels aligned or alienated. It requires clarity on what must remain uniform—brand values, strategy, success metrics—as well as the flexibility to adapt delivery, communication, and leadership styles to local norms. Leaders who master this balance can minimize friction while creating environments where innovation, trust, and performance thrive across borders. To that end, 17 members of Fast Company Executive Board share their top strategies for navigating this complex but critical dynamic. 1. IMPLEMENT AGILE METHODOLOGIES. To balance global consistency with local autonomy, implement agile methodologies like Scrum. Shared cadences (sprints), rituals (standups, retros), and artifacts (backlogs, demos) provide a scalable structure across regions. Agile isn't just for software—it drives cross-functional alignment, transparency, and adaptability while respecting cultural and market-specific needs. – Jack Borie, Ubix Labs 2. INCLUDE REGIONAL AND LOCAL EXPERTS IN BRAND MESSAGING. Global companies' brand messaging and positioning must include regional and local market experts. Yes, this may complicate and lengthen the process, but you must capture market nuances. In the end, you will have invested in your key regions, and the authenticity will be appreciated and should put you a step ahead of your competitors. – Mack McKelvey, SalientMG 3. STAY TRUE TO YOUR IDENTITY. When you create your identity and corresponding persona, never lose sight of who you are as an organization, regardless of the regionality issues. Your mission, vision, and organization credo should remain consistently applied. – Hudson Garrett Jr, Community Health Associates 4. USE SHARED VALUES IN DAILY DECISION-MAKING. Identify the shared values that transcend countries and cultures, and use these in daily decision-making. These will enable you to rise above implementation disagreements to the common ground of the team, no matter how dispersed or how varied their backgrounds. – Amy Radin Pragmatic Innovation Partners LLC 5. LEVERAGE THE STRENGTHS OF EACH REGION. We balance global consistency with local autonomy by letting regional strengths shine: France's stellar engineering, the U.S.'s marketing and sales expertise, and India's outstanding customer support. Our product platform and values remain constant, while we empower local teams to adapt as needed. This approach creates a unified company while maximizing the distinctive advantages each culture brings. – Dan Amzallag, Ivalua 6. ESTABLISH SHARED SUCCESS MEASURES. Set shared measures of success. That keeps everyone aligned while giving local teams the space to execute in ways that work for their market. Have clear goals, flexible paths. – Cliff Jurkiewicz, Phenom 7. ALLOW LOCAL LEADERS FLEXIBILITY WITHIN GLOBAL FRAMEWORKS. Empower local leaders while maintaining clear global frameworks. This strategy ensures alignment with the company's vision while allowing flexibility to meet specific market needs. It's about balance—guidance with freedom to innovate. – Katrina (Katya) Rosseini, KRR Ventures 8. ASK AND LISTEN TO LOCAL TEAMS. Start by ditching the one-size-fits-all mindset. What works in New York might flop in Singapore. The key? Set clear global principles, then flex locally. Ask, listen, and be willing to adapt—doing so is sometimes harder than your old office chair. Consistency builds trust, but autonomy drives relevance. You need both to lead across borders. – Stephanie Harris, PartnerCentric 9. LEAN INTO SOFT SKILLS. The power of 'soft skills' can shine when localizing across regions while maintaining global consistency. Whether it's active listening to those working in other parts of the world, or paying attention to the small details that matter to specific cultures and locales, these are just a few of the ways that global leaders can be better managers, striking a balance between global and local. – Irina Soriano, Seismic 10. KEEP YOUR OFFERINGS CONSISTENT, BUT ADD LOCAL FLAIR. The overall product or service must be consistent, and that means it should always revolve around the company's mission. However, it can and should include local flair, which can be taste, packaging, and other aspects, as it sells in different places. It should include local workers at that plant abroad who can contribute to decisions on how the local plant operates. – Baruch Labunski, Rank Secure 11. IDENTIFY WHAT MATTERS MOST IN EACH COUNTRY. As they teach in the Stanford MBA program, 'Different countries are different.' Identify the five to seven things that matter, and let it rip on the rest. The customer value stays constant, but the path to delivering value to the customer can vary. – Shayne Fitz-Coy, Sabot Family Companies 12. DETERMINE WHAT CAN FLEX AND WHAT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. In sustainability, we created a global framework of principles, objectives, and reporting, while allowing local teams to adapt based on regional priorities, guidelines, and cultural nuances. We also set non-negotiables for messaging, ethics, and performance, with guardrails to establish consistency and empower autonomy. Remembering the gap between 'corporate' and 'local' is key to finding balance. – Jeffrey Whitford MilliporeSigma 13. ADOPT THE HUB AND SPOKE MODEL. The hub and spoke model works the best. The global team defines the key priorities and goals based on what the leadership wants. The power to execute on those priorities and goals should be with the regional teams, and they are in the best situation to understand the complexities on the ground. – Ruchir Nath, Dell Technologies 14. ATTEND REGULAR CROSS-CULTURAL DIALOGUE SESSIONS. Implement a framework of 'core and flex' where core values and strategic goals are standardized globally, while empowering local teams to customize implementation methods. Regular cross-cultural dialogue sessions help leaders understand regional nuances while maintaining organizational alignment, ensuring both global consistency and cultural adaptability. – Chongwei Chen, DataNumen Inc. 15. MANAGE COMPLEXITY BY STRENGTHENING LOCAL PROFIT DESIGN. The issue here is not just primarily balancing global consistency with local autonomy. It's managing complexity. The suggested strategy here is to strengthen profit design at local levels. Focusing on this approach has two direct benefits. First, it improves cash flow. Second, it prevents distraction that restrains profitable growth. – Jay Steven Levin, WinThinking 16. BUILD BUSINESS PLANS FROM THE BOTTOM UP. Build your business plans bottom-up, not top-down, then find the connective tissue between markets, cultures, and priorities. Carve your brand values in stone so you can offer a consistent customer experience globally, but tailor your messaging and delivery to the customs and customers of each country. – Tim Maleeny, Quad

Revolutionary SUPERWOOD Technology Named to Fast Company's 2025 World Changing Ideas for Transforming Wood at the Molecular Level
SUPERWOOD is stronger than steel with the soul of wood, transforming the built environment while addressing wildfire, climate, and supply chain crises FREDERICK, Md., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InventWood's SUPERWOOD has been named to Fast Company's prestigious 2025 World Changing Ideas list for its breakthrough molecular transformation of wood that fundamentally reimagines one of humanity's oldest building materials. The patented technology (with 144 patents filed and 41 granted) represents the first successful manipulation of wood's nano-cellulose structure to unlock extraordinary performance while maintaining its character and enhancing its beauty. The Innovation: Molecular Architecture Meets Ancient Material SUPERWOOD represents a fundamental reinvention of wood at the molecular level. Through InventWood's proprietary process, the wood is compressed, creating incredibly strong hydrogen bonds between the fibers, and yielding a material with: Up to 10x higher strength-to-weight ratio of steel while being 6x lighter Class A fire resistance that self-extinguishes and resists ignition 90% lower process emissions than steel production Natural resistance to insects, rot, and degradation "Bing and his incredible team of scientists discovered how to unlock the incredible strength hidden in wood's cellulosic matrix," said Alex Lau, co-founder and executive chairman of InventWood. "By manipulating the nano-architecture of cellulose, nature's most abundant polymer, we've now brought into the world a material that outperforms steel while maintaining everything people love about wood: its warmth, beauty, and connection to nature." The Science: From Lab Discovery to Commercial Reality The innovation journey began in 2013 at the University of Maryland, where Dr. Liangbing Hu's research team began exploring a simple question: Could we make wood better in terms of a broad range of properties (e.g., optical transparency, ion and fluidic transport, mechanical strength)? This initial curiosity unlocked a decade of discoveries, leading to a breakthrough: by removing lignin and hemicellulose while preserving and densifying the cellulose structure, wood could be transformed into something extraordinary. This wasn't an incremental improvement. It was a paradigm shift. Key technological breakthroughs protected by InventWood's patent portfolio include: Controlled molecular modification technology that preserves structural integrity Nano-cellulose densification achieving unprecedented mechanical properties Scalable manufacturing methods enabling commercial production Fire-resistant formulations meeting stringent safety standards Real-World Impact: Three Crises, One Solution Fast Company recognized SUPERWOOD for addressing multiple interconnected global challenges: 1. Wildfire Resilience: As communities face increasingly destructive wildfires, SUPERWOOD's Class A fire resistance offers hope. Unlike traditional wood that fuels fires, SUPERWOOD resists ignition and self-extinguishes, potentially saving lives, homes and communities. 2. Warmth by Nature, Strength by Science: SUPERWOOD offers a unique package combining biophilia—human's built-in affinity for the organic qualities of true nature—with the unprecedented strength enabled by the latest science and technology. 3. Climate Action: With construction responsible for over 15% of global CO₂ emissions, SUPERWOOD provides a carbon-sequestering alternative. Each SUPERWOOD beam stores carbon while replacing emissions-intensive materials like steel and concrete. 4. Domestic Supply Chain Security: By transforming domestically sourced wood into high-performance materials, SUPERWOOD reduces dependence on imported tropical hardwood, steel, and aluminum and creates resilient supply chains based on a broad variety of locally available wood and waste wood. From Innovation to Implementation InventWood has achieved critical milestones validating both its technology and market potential: $50+ Million in Capital: Including a recent $15 million Series A first close led by prominent climate tech investors Government Validation: Numerous government awards, including a $20 million SCALEUP award from U.S. Department of Energy recognizing transformative potential Manufacturing Scale: First commercial facility in Frederick, Maryland now being commissioned, which will ultimately provide 1 million square feet annual capacity Market Partnerships: Strategic distribution partnerships to accelerate North American adoption Looking Forward: Scaling Molecular Innovation With its first manufacturing facility entering production and commercial shipments beginning later this year, InventWood is positioned to scale rapidly. The company envisions regional production facilities worldwide, each transforming local wood resources into SUPERWOOD while creating jobs and strengthening communities. "Fast Company's recognition validates what we've known since our first lab breakthrough: that molecular innovation can solve civilization-scale challenges," added Lau. "SUPERWOOD proves that the path to a sustainable future doesn't require choosing between performance and planet. By reimagining materials at their most fundamental level, we can have both."
