EXECUTIVE COACHING
At Grupo Asteria, we implement agile methodologies such as SCRUM—a framework that organizes projects into short sprints (1-4 weeks) with defined roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner) and daily follow-up meetings—along with Agile Management principles that prioritize adaptability and continuous improvement. We apply these methodologies especially in executive coaching for: digital transformation of teams (facilitating progressive technological adoption), strategic alignment in senior management (for complex global environments), and financial consulting (enabling agile adjustments in the face of regulatory changes). This approach offers key benefits such as greater transparency, the ability to quickly adapt to unforeseen events, and tangible deliveries within predictable timeframes. It is particularly useful for projects that require coordination between multicultural teams or with interdependent technical and legal components
CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROCESSES
– End-to-end encryption (PGP, TLS)
– Secure transfer via SFTP/SSH (we do not use public clouds).
At Grupo Asteria, we guarantee absolute confidentiality through a multi-layered security protocol: (1) We do not use generative AI or online/open translation tools, processing all information exclusively with internal systems and specialized professionals; (2) We work under mandatory non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), adapted to the regulations of each jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, etc.); (3) Documents are transferred and stored in end-to-end encrypted environments, without the use of public clouds; (4) We strictly prohibit the use of client content in case studies or advertising, maintaining anonymity even internally through project codes. Our translators and consultants access information only on a need-to-know basis, with periodic access audits. This approach complies with the security standards of global financial and legal entities
At Grupo Asteria, we offer flexible turnaround times tailored to the needs of each project: for standard work, we offer a turnaround time of 5 to 8 business days (depending on the complexity and length of the document), while for urgent cases, we offer an express service with deliveries between 48 and 72 hours (subject to a 30% surcharge). All our services include up to 3 free revisions for content, terminology, or formatting adjustments, ensuring maximum satisfaction with the work delivered. Turnaround times begin once we receive the initial payment and all the materials necessary to begin the project

Both options include our quality standards and the ability to scale services based on your changing requirements, providing tailored solutions that optimize your resources and ensure consistent results
