The TEM's activity is carefully coordinated by Octagona, which oversees its integration into the project, supports its action with proven tools and methodologies, and optimizes its intervention according to a “fractional” logic: the manager works for the client company according to established agreements and for one or more days per week.
This approach allows for quick and measurable results, with maximum operational flexibility and an investment calibrated to the real needs of the international expansion project.
