Behind the
AcceptableChoice
by Kim Nyvold, HSB, Hamburg
Since 1986 they have been the ‘acceptable choice’ when it came to International Trade Management. ITM Europe’s focus has been to create sustainable solutions based on Management by understanding for a number of vision oriented companies and individuals throughout the entire globe – all taken of in pragmatic Best Business Practice from Scandinavian Business environments.
Their focus has been on International Channel Strategies, Change Management, Branding, Business visions & perspectives, and PartnerShips supported by adequate ICT Solutions – trying to create a stress free, open-minded and dynamic atmosphere.
To be able to comprehend and fully understand the mechanism and behaviours behind those changes in a way where the human resource can add value to the process – individuals need a deep understanding on how the human brain works, what influence this, the mechanism that triggers the human body and the techniques to open and be flexible about changes. Therefore TrainingCourses, Seminars and Conference presentations in how to create a lifestyle in a changing world with high demands and expectations have been a fruitful supplement and more than 500 companies and 90.000 individuals world-wide have benefitted from their services and support.
Jørn W.Phigalt and his team, is the architect behind the EU Commission’s Strategy and Methodology for developing international PartnerShips, based on structured methods and deep multicultural understanding, and has as key-advisor in the EU’s Business Cooperation Network been active in creating many innovative PartnerShips across the world.
The leadership as chairman for TASBI – the TransAtlantic Small Business Initiative, still represent a significant cornerstone in the communication message for globalisation and lifestyle behaviour. The participation in major international conferences as the key-note and/or guest speaker have added to the strategy of Global assistance to small and medium sized enterprises and their employees, being an active promoter in trade and business understanding in the world-wide business dialogue and to create results in research & development, technological transfer and Government-to-business relations.
This includes global assignments in re-thinking Business Strategies for enterprises, Corporate, National and Individual Branding, conducting global PartnerShips and Matchmaking activities between various business opportunities in Europe, America, MiddleEast and Asia – like joint ventures, strategic alliances, technology transfer, marketing and sales agreements, developing methodologies for the knowledge based economy – using human inspired Customer Relationship Management, working Enterprise Resource Planning, Business Process Reengineering, Sales optimization and business transformation.
Jørn W.Phigalt is also the author of numerous articles regarding personal, corporate & national branding, distribution and channel strategy, business understanding for transition economies and the growing PartnerShip challenge.

The past years have offered enormous global opportunities and outstanding challenges to bridge the traditional western culture with the flourishing societies in the new countries to the European Union, the transition economies and the worlds booming entrepreneurs – to learn more about added value initiatives, the optimization of profit and market penetration.

The concept is a strategic oriented set of Best Business Guidelines that involves the human resource in creating the best companies.
Besides being Mentor and active on management level, Jørn W.Phigalt is also involved in various boards, where he takes the leadership to create better understanding and fruitful results.
So why electronic cigarettes?
During the years I have seen many resources have stress symptoms – not because of the work-load – but because of the great expectations to them. Many of those find new energy and relaxation in a cigarette. It has become a lifestyle for many to break the daily routine by smoking, and since we all know that this is fatal for many, we need to do something. This combined with the massive group of passive smokers.
I have always been interesting in the dilemma between the political initiatives and the practical outcome – and the wave of “smoking legislations” across the world is a good example of a miss-match between vision and execution. We all want a ‘smoke free’ environment with zero pollution and increased health for the ‘non-smoker’… and there the creativity stops. Through legislation government wants to change a common lifestyle without any perspectives. This is the reason why we through the www.acceptableChoice.eu site sells the electronic cigarettes, the electronic cigars and certainly also the electronic pipe. |
