China Preparedness Index™
DIAGNOSTIC & COLLABORATION SERVICES
Improving collaboration, reducing churn, and deepening trust between US-based and China-based teams.
Collaboration between US-based and China-based teams can be difficult…and costly.
With language barriers, onerous time zones and low market comprehension, “US-China initiatives” can quickly become a hardship post… both for colleagues in China as well as in the US. This all adds up to worsening business results, deteriorating satisfaction, and missed opportunities.
What if cross-geography collaboration between US-based and China-based teams can be measured, diagnosed, and systematically improved?
That is what our most successful global clients kept asking us for.
Introducing the China Preparedness Index™ (CPI), a cross-team collaboration and productivity diagnostic.
Because if it can’t be measured, it can’t be managed.
The CPI is comprised of 5 key pillars to precisely diagnose your team’s collaborative strengths, frictions, and points of opportunity.
Comfort
How is the macro-environment impacting relationships with the China-based team and work? Are employees comfortable doing business with China?
Enthusiasm
Is the US-based work a priority of the company? Is it perceived as being good for the company? For participant’s careers?
Clarity
What is the company’s strategy in the US? How is it being communicated? What is the employee’s role within that strategy?
Trust & Collaboration
How well can the teams communicate? Align? Trust? Bond? Brainstorm?
Market Knowledge
How well does the US-based team understand Chinese market dynamics? Work norms? Communication best practices?
Here is what the CPI looks like in action with one of our F500 clients.
