Barger, Cowart & Kenney Expands Business Internationally

Charles A. Cowart, Ph.D., an Atlanta-based psychologist and Managing Partner of Barger, Cowart & Kenney, LLC (BCK), an executive and management consulting firm, has expanded his consulting practice into Europe and the Middle East with a subsidiary of one of its US-based clients.

(PRWEB) July 21, 2005 -- Dr. Cowart began traveling internationally in 2003 to assist a supply and distribution client with employee selection and executive development. Since that initial visit, Dr. Cowart has made frequent trips to Europe and the Middle East, helping to build organizational infrastructure and assisting management in structuring processes and procedures. "When our client first asked us to visit their subsidiary, it was to get an overall picture of the compatibility of value systems and perferred leadership and communication styles," explains Dr. Cowart. "This is important information for an employer when you have employees in several different countries." That initial work has evolved and Barger, Cowart & Kenney is now building on the information gathered in those initial visits to assist with strategic planning and executive coaching, as well as conducting psychological assessments on all candidates for key positoins within the company.

Moving into the international market has brought a broader base of business to Barger, Cowart & Kenney, but has presented some challenges as well. Language barriers and time differences must be effectively dealt with, but Barger, Cowart & Kenney is up for the challenge and will likely hire additional consultants to focus on international clients. "This is an exciting time for us," stated Dr. Gene Barger, Senior Partner at Barger, Cowart & Kenney. "We have been approached by other overseas companies who are interested in our services and we are beginning work with one of these in the near future."
