Case Study: Restoring Clarity in a Cross-Border Audit
The Situation
A global manufacturing company was undergoing a critical compliance audit across three countries. The audit team included managers from Europe and Asia, supported by translators. Tensions rose when misinterpretations in both language and tone led to delays, defensiveness, and growing mistrust. Deadlines were slipping, and the company’s certification was at risk.
The Intervention
The Fly-In-Fix service to provide immediate, on-site support. Within 48 hours, we:
-
Conducted a rapid assessment of conversations already breaking down.
-
Identified cultural misalignments — particularly how “serious” remarks were interpreted differently across teams.
-
Stepped in as a neutral facilitator during key audit meetings to rebuild trust.
-
Coached managers in real time on phrasing, tone, and non-verbal communication to avoid escalation.
-
Created a short, practical “protocol for clarity” that the team could apply for the rest of the audit.
The Result
-
The audit process was stabilised and completed within deadline.
-
Misunderstandings were reduced immediately, preventing further escalation.
-
Senior management regained confidence that their international teams could collaborate under pressure.
-
The company secured its compliance certification — and requested follow-up coaching to prevent future crises.
Client Feedback
“The Fly-In-Fix saved us from a costly failure. Having a coach on the ground made the difference between confusion and clarity.”
Miscommunication is one of the most expensive risks in global business. Projects stall, trust collapses, and reputations suffer — not because of bad strategy, but because of words lost in translation, cultural clashes, or silence in the wrong moment. "The Multilingual Crisis Communication Fix" introduces the "MC³ Method" — a practical framework to help leaders and teams spot communication breakdowns, repair them fast, and redesign conversations for lasting impact. With clear tools, real-world case studies, and step-by-step exercises, this book turns communication from a liability into a competitive advantage.
Readers will learn how to:
* Identify the “Four Horsemen” of breakdown — language, culture, power, and process.
* Apply tools like Pause–Reframe–Redirect, Clarification Loops, and the MC³ Compass.
* Redesign meetings, systems, and feedback for clarity and inclusion.
* Measure communication ROI in terms of time saved, trust built, and risks avoided.
Drawing on her background in corporate auditing, multilingual coaching, and transformation training, Ann Desseyn makes complex theory practical, engaging, and immediately useful. If you lead global teams, manage cross-border projects, or face high-stakes conversations, this book will help you build bridges when it matters most.
