Free webinar: China+1 — Where do multinationals go from China? (1)

Trade wars and COVID19 turned global supply chains upside-down and  violently shook them. While politicians triumphantly point out winners  and losers, executives and managers search for viable alternatives. In  this East-West Leadership webinar we probe into a corporate strategy  designed to surpass politics and pandemic. ‘China+1’ is the concept of  balancing the increasing geopolitical and human resource risks in China  with a wider Asian portfolio, where South-East Asian countries play an  essential role.

Leading American, European, Asian and even Chinese firms  have engineered China+1 strategies in recent years, overcoming some of  their China-induced problems but also facing new challenges in the  process.

Shanghai-based intercultural leadership consultant Gabor Holch will  discuss the potential, benefits, headaches, lessons and likely future of  China+1 with Jurriaan Meyer, Technology Business Builder & Mentor,  who after more of a decade in China now observes an increasing trend  towards diversification into SE Asia. They will address the wider  geopolitical context of economic and trade relations between China and  ASEAN countries, the motivations and challenges of China-based firms  moving some of their activities to China+1 destinations, and the impact  of the current pandemic. Based on their first-hand coaching and advisory  experience, they discuss the executive and human resource management  skills needed to manage effective China+1 transitions. They will compare  their impressions while living through COVID 19 in different locations  and the prospects of Shanghai and up and coming Vietnamese metropolis Ho  Chi Minh City. As usual, participants are welcome to share their  questions and views.
