2. Setting the Scene
Bovo-Tighe is expanding its international business, taking its
Foundations of Excellence approach to human capital
development into exciting new areas of the world.
In December 2011, Brooke Bovo lead a team to Western
Kazakhstan to launch a new corporate relationship, running
the Psychology of Achievement training module with senior
executives at a corporate division HQ.
 “It was challenging to adapt a training module originally
developed for US business culture to reflect Kazakh cultural
norms, but this first effort really turned out well,” reported
Brooke.
