Education: Executive training Programmes for Chinese Organisations

Modern organisations are complex ecosystems that need to be nurtured and managed
effectively in order to ensure the continued growth and efficiency of the the business, as a
result key decision makers and leaders in the organisation need to keep up with the
development of, in addition to traditional management practices, contemporary
management techniques. We will work with your organisation to identify your training
requirements and develop a bespoke training programme that will prepare the leaders in
your organisation for the road ahead. The content of our training programmes are delivered
by some of the best research based universities in the UK by academics who are at the
pinnacle of their career.

have seen entrepreneurs turn to alternative funding mechanisms in order to get the much
needed cash injection to grow their business. We have connections with Chinese
entrepreneur clubs and businesses that are looking for the right opportunity to invest
abroad. If you have an business in need of cash injection please get in touch, and well will

Technology: ERP Systems that deliver on demand Analytics

In the highly competitive economy that businesses operate in nowadays, it has never been
more important for businesses to have on-demand access to analytics in order to access and
understand customer trends and employee performance. Despite popular belief ERP systems
are not expensive to deploy. Some of the opensource ERP systems in the market are now as
good as if not better compared to the commercial systems out there. We can develop,
implement and customise opensourse ERP systems for your business and help you get the
performance reports you need to make effective and efficient business decisions.

Outsourcing to China

Companies such as luxury fashion retailer Burberry, technology giants such as Apple have
long since outsourced their manufacturing to China in order to benefit from lower labour
costs and the manufacturing expertise in the country. However what most SMEs,
entrepreneurs do not realize is that outsourcing manufacturing is no longer confined to the
relms of large organisations. Intelligent and adaptable production processes now also allow
manufacturers to take smaller manufacturing orders that were previously not economically
viable. However there still remains language, cultural and legal barriers that would need to
be overcome during the outsourcing process. Considerations need to be given to intellectual
property and how to protect them. We will work with you to find you a reliable, credible
outsourcing partner and help you navigate the pitfalls associated to outsourcing
manufacturing to China.
