Operational Management and Business Research

Operational Management is designed for foreign companies that do not have a sufficient local presence to sustain their activities on the Russian market. The service is designed as an alternative to having a local office in Russia and focuses on solving various ad hoc tasks.

Operational management covers matters such as: communication with Russian partners, support in working with local service providers (e.g. legal and accounting), business intelligence, supervision and management of local operations, staffing solutions, secretarial and admin support, participation at trade shows and conferences.

Nice to work with a group professionals with such passion! We as Medstone group enjoyed every second of working with you and the Lighthouse group.

This Russian joint venture was an entirely new experience both for the Russian and for the Wolters Kluwer team, and Jeroen and team helped to overcome the challenges that both parties faced working in such an unknown environment.
