Your Partner in Global Strategy and Success
Balancing Commercial, Political and Legal Realities since 1984
International Strategic Planning
International Strategic Planning transcends all efforts by over-regulated states to define never mind regulate it. This is quite obviously because such regimes are simply unable to ever fully grasp and prioritize the immense complexities of navigating all the commercial, political, and legal realities involved, and as such, across international borders.
An International Strategic Planner leverages experience and expertise to develop comprehensive strategies that achieve specific project objectives, goals, and benchmarks, taking into account the intricate interplay of cross-border commercial, political, and legal realities. The approach is tailored to each client's unique requirements, ensuring that their international endeavours are meticulously planned and executed with precision.
The service stands or falls on the client`s due diligence and assessment of the Strategic Planner in respect of the experience that they display in negotiating at the appropriate levels in each particular and specific case. Anyone trying to pose as such a consultant without the necessary experience, acumen and skills, is simply and immediately exposed as incapable. Some of the skills required include but are not limited to: - Project Management · Project Planning · Project Engineering · Project Coordination · International Strategic Planning · International politics · International Law · Macro economics, Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation, Non-Circumvention treaties · High level Negotiation Skills.
In the case of the founder of this consultancy, Dr. Izak Labuschagne, this role evolved from the time when he was involved in orchestrating South African Reserve Bank approved structures for moving money from South Africa in the days when exchange control was paramount and strictly enforced. Also during his Australian Certified Investment Planning days in the late 1980`s and in Southern Africa, where he served as the CEO for the SADEC Development Fund Trust, working in the Land Reform Sector and engaging in public interest litigation in that domain during the late 1990`s and early 2000`s . All culminating in the presentation at the World Bank MIGA hosted conference as keynote speaker in 2003. More detail can be viewed on the Background tab.
After a hiatus due to regulatory constraints posed by the Australian government in renewing previous certifications, and realizing that those constraints do not apply to this particular role, he resumed accepting mandates in Australia in 2023. Much of the strategic planning revolves around tax-free countries like Vanuatu, as it did in the 1980`s, and now extends to nations like the UAE.
The decision to move the head office to Vanuatu in 2024 came about as a result of the proliferation of multiple taxation legislative regimes and overregulation of services and industry that beset several western democracies .
Moreover, Vanuatu being one of the more favourable, less regulated tax havens with excellent prospects for growth in various sectors, is well positioned to cater for the influx of the many other business people and private individuals wishing to get untangled from overly regulated and taxed jurisdictions, some with ultra woke legislation targeting traditional family and religious values.
All mandates undertaken are protected by Intellectual Property, Confidentiality, Non-disclosure, Non-solicitation, Non-Circumvention treaties.

To date, Mandates have been accepted from several clients: -
