Today’s Reality

Over the past decade, we at sim were in the lucky position to accompany our clients in their development in China. Skilled talents have always been a key factor to successfully run businesses, and this will certainly not change.

Some years ago, experts were flown in to accomplish the difficult tasks; people from China were brought to the headquarters to get trained. Today, there is a very clear trend, even a necessity to develop talents directly on the spot, here in China.

 

Corporates alike smaller businesses have to improve and adapt constantly. They have to stay up to date with the latest methods, techniques and opportunities. Nowadays everyone has to be able to innovate, to change and to excel with the daily evolving environment. Any organization needs to equip their employees with leadership and management skills that focus on innovation, customer-focus, decision-making and collaboration.

 

Our Swissness is Key

 

Chinese Higher Education made significant leaps forward in its development with universities ranking among the best in Asia. However, corporate development in China is still lacking a practical, hands-on and pragmatic approach for on-the-job skill improvement.

Switzerland has a long tradition of practical training and education. The Dual Education System with the combination of academic and vocational education has been exported and adopted in many regions across the world.

 

A number of qualities are key to the economic success of Switzerland. Continuous innovation from the academic and private sector; a multi-cultural population with influences from across Europe; international exposure due to its small size; strong and proven system of vocational training. Such pragmatism and the high Swiss quality are the key attributes to our Swissness.

Proven Return on Investment

People development is an investment; with a strong and proven return! Companies that focus on design have outperformed their peers and tripled their market valuation (McKinsey). Projects with high change management effectiveness are 6x more likely to meet or exceed the expectations (Prosci). Equipping people with the right the project management skills, influences 88% of the project success (PMI). Sales people that prepare and deliver high value to clients win deals 3.6x more than their peers (Richardson). These are examples that display the importance of developing the skills of our employees – for our success and the success of our people.
