On-Demand Expert SERVICES

China Business Intelligence & Advisory — Strategic Insight and Real-World Execution Support

When strategy meets reality, the gaps are often cultural, linguistic, or procedural—not conceptual. Drawing on 40 years of embedded commercial and research work in China and the broader Far East, we offer not just analysis—but direct, actionable assistance for the day-to-day complexities of doing business in China.

What We Provide

Strategic Intelligence — On Demand

• Rapid-response briefings on policy shifts, market volatility, or geopolitical developments
• Sun Tzu–informed scenario planning: identifying advantage, timing, and asymmetry
• Historical-context risk assessment (e.g., precedent-based forecasting of regulatory or competitive moves)

Direct Operational Support — Real-World Problem Solving

• Cultural Navigation: Mediating misunderstandings in negotiations, joint ventures, or internal management—anticipating unspoken expectations, hierarchy sensitivities, and face dynamics
• Language & Communication Aid:
   • Real-time clarification of ambiguous terms in contracts, policy documents, or official correspondence
   • Culturally calibrated translation support (e.g., explaining why a phrase was chosen—not just what it says)
   • Drafting or vetting bilingual communications for tone, nuance, and intent
• On-the-Ground Liaison Guidance:
   • Preparing teams for key meetings (e.g., protocol, seating, gifting, agenda sequencing)
   • Troubleshooting stalled projects due to misalignment in expectations or process
   • Interpreting what’s not said in official feedback or partner silence
