Globalization Excellence and Optimization
It is common to have difficulties in effectively managing and organizing efforts around globalization. There may be challenges in establishing languages and international release plans, knowing where to employ new tools and technologies, establishing a solid vendor strategy, or clearly mapping out your organization’s priorities.
Common Sense Advisory realizes that companies have a difficult time finding the time to do process improvement and strategic planning work on their own. It takes time away from daily production and business commitments. Not to mention, it can be daunting to learn the best practices in the market, benchmark from other successful organizations, and understand and assess the various available technologies. Wouldn’t it just be easier to hire someone to do this work for you?
Common Sense Advisory provides consulting services based on independent and unbiased assessment of the translation and localization operations for your organization. We recommend the best processes and tools to fit your needs. Our unique, modular methodology, called the GEO Program, is based on the investigating and evaluating all activities related to translation and localization:
- Business Landscape
- Team Structure – Players, Partners and Leaders
- Program Management Technique
- Internal and External Process Mapping and Development
- Tools and Technologies
- Budgeting and Cost Structures
- Supplier Management
- Future Planning
Our first step is to review your current situation and provide actionable recommendations specifically designed to meet your goals in excellence and optimization. We have designed this program to be flexible – we can focus on every aspect of your organization, or begin with a few areas of interest. We understand that a major priority is to reduce cost in complexity in translation and localization operations, all the while maintaining or increasing quality. Common Sense Advisory can help you achieve these goals.
Contact us for more information about the GEO Program and how Common Sense Advisory can help your company see better results in your localization organization.

Common Issues
"Are we using the right vendor model of our business needs?" We see so many suppliers, how can we assess who is right for us?
"We are all so busy putting out fires and trying to keep up with the flow of work that we can’t slow down long enough to make improvements for efficiency." Can someone see through the confusion and help us create a smoother operation?
"My organization is too complex because of recent mergers and acquisitions. We have duplicate and inefficient processes that could be optimized." How can we reorganize for operational and cost efficiency, while optimizing our vendor relationships?
"How does localization continue to be one of the top spend items in our budget?"How can we realistically reduce costs in this area?
"Our partners don’t understand us." How can we communicate a clear message about the challenges in translation and localization in order to work more as a cohesive team?
"I am blinded by all of the tools in the market." Can someone give me a quick look at what these tools can do for us and help us see what will (and will not) be best for our business?
