| Global Direct Investment Solutions is a member
of leading industry professional associations such as the International
Economic Development Council and CoreNet Global, and respects the
professional standards which are expected of all such members.
Furthermore, as a service which is based entirely upon working relationships
which involve trust and respect for
project confidentiality and other
typical needs of the participating organizations, we strive to respect the
highest professional standards and expectations of all the people we serve.
We try to be responsive to any concerns which they may express, including
expectations for disclosure of potential conflicts of interest or any
perceived impairment of our professional independence for their purposes
through any of our relationships among active participants or the
recommendations which we may make to participants and other contacts.
Conflicts of interest
By the nature of this business, we will routinely be dealing with
potential conflicts of interest between two or three groups of participants
and contacts. We may serve organizations which are direct competitors
in the market in general, or even several which are competing for the same
specific contracts or investments - not by our choice, but by the choice of
the prospective client.
As a "best practice" policy, we have therefore chosen to adopt a practice
of very open disclosure to corporate executives about any "supply-side"
relationships we may develop among professional service providers or area
representatives, as illustrated by the tables in the
Participants and other contacts section of
this website.
As one consultant very astutely and quickly observed when our business
model was first introduced, "You're a consolidator!", Absolutely
right. As explained in another section about
the vision behind this business,
or the philosophy of the founder about global
development, this business has many parallels in the retail sector, as well as the
analogy of the financial
services market, in which brokers bring investors, investment services,
and investments together as intermediaries whose knowledge of the market
helps to facilitate a transaction of benefit to them all. |
Refer also to the standard
Disclaimer section regarding
the usual legal liability questions for this sort of business. In short,
we try very hard to always do the right thing.
We try not to do anything to which participants in our services should
object, rather than merely avoid conduct which might be legally actionable.
On the contrary, we want all participants in our services to be highly
satisfied and value the development of close and ongoing working
relationships which create high and enduring value of mutual benefit to our
companies and communities, rather than destroy value.
Even so, we can't accept liability for the actions of all the thousands
of contacts we maintain, or even the active participants in our services.
We do business with people of many cultures worldwide, and try to respect
their values, ethical standards, and expectations for the conduct of working
relationships and friendships among business professionals, as we always
encourage them to respect ours.
We try to be very alert and responsive to any feedback which might
identify unexpected problems, since we have valuable professional
reputations and knowledge to preserve and share as the fundamental value of
our business - both our own, and as shared among all of the people who we
may serve worldwide.
We develop relationships which are
based on trust in the professionalism and ethical conduct of all
participants in our services, but we do not assume liability for the actions
of those participants or contacts who may later be found to not have merited
our confidence.
We try to do business only with people who we trust as ethical
professionals, and not with those who appear to define acceptable conduct by
what may be legally permissible or defensible, or simply not actionable.
We strive to add
high value for all of the companies and communities we may serve around the
world by bringing very capable and well-intentioned people and resources
together to achieve the desired progress and prosperity through a faster and
larger flow of more successful direct investment projects than would occur
otherwise. |
