To help you understand, let us categorize the customers that we have helped in four stages
1st Stage - EXPLORATION

If you are at this stage, you may focus your energy on optimizing your resources, be innovative to produce better result than competitors, keep every decision at calculated risk and make the plan works.
2nd Stage - ACCELERATION

Due to the quick expansion and recruitment of talents, you may focus on solving issues such as cross corporate culture, getting people to adapt change, building team synergy and collaboration.

PROVEN RESULTS WITH MANY ORGANIZATIONS (CASE STUDY)
Company “A” is a European Multinational Company in China. Due to the economy recession in Europe, the company is shifting their business focus to Asia. Despite the promising market potential, the organization failed to perform as expected after a drastic accelerating expansion over the last 9 months.
Instead of having better productive work from the group of talents that they recruited from other reputable companies, conflict arise in decision making due to the diverse value, management style and corporate culture they carried. This leads to poor communication between departments as a result of low morale and high attrition. On top of it, the old managers were upset with the new talents for taking away their advancement opportunity and even worst when they discover the new remuneration package is better than theirs (despite company need to pay more to attract talents from other companies).
Our approach begins by helping everyone to see what was happening from a higher and more objective perspective. Getting everyone to be mindful of the challenges, be ready to change and identify key activities to create delighted value for their internal customers. Subsequently, we also helped the organization to convert their corporate culture and core values into individuals. Follow by the essential competence in revitalizing the organization position for the accelerating growth.
Over the transformation process, these leaders attended 8-days workshop with an interval of one to one and a half month. Over the break, they will execute the blue print in which they have design in the workshop that align with the organizational strategies and goals. At the end of the 6th month, with the request of developing a People Development Centre, they were trained and carried up the task of training others, enable the “competency transfer” strategy from the corporate level. This is to provide better customized solutions to their customers and enable accelerating growth and business performance.
At the end of nine months, the organization achieve an outstanding grow double then they expect. Along with the positive transformation, the organization further engaged their middle management and team transformation programs with us through building the team competency and enhance the execution effectiveness and efficiency.
