YCG BRIDGEWORKS

A Cross-Geography Collaboration Lab
Specializing in US and China-based Teams

THE YCG BRIDGEWORKS MISSION

Our mission is to improve collaboration between global teams through a people-first, data-rich systematic approach.

We specialize in bridging teams working across the US & China.

THE IMPORTANCE OF US-CHINA COLLABORATION

China hasn’t been this consequential to the global economy since the early 1800s, but the country is now more opaque to global executives than it has been at any point since global businesses really started to enter the market in the early 1990s.”

High quality, conscientious collaboration between the US and China matters more now than ever before.

Keynote Speeches

Zak Dychtwald is a globally-recognized expert on US-China dynamics. He speaks to both US-based and China-based teams – separately or together, and has been invited to give keynote speeches on six continents for the world’s leading executives, investors, and political leaders.

Why Cross-Geography, Not Cross-Culture?

Culture is only one part of the US-China collaborative mix. Often, the “culture problem” is used when an organization feels there is a teamwork problem between offices that cannot be solved. Our extensive research has shown that effective collaboration means bridging disparate languages, processes, time zones, and – finally – cultures.

TRUSTED CLIENTS

Better collaboration means better business results, deeper trust, and higher quality of life.
