  • About OPO

    OPO Global is an executive consulting company specializes in solving business problems from senior executive perspective.

     

    Being the largest growing economy on this planet, China is the place where business success are expected by companies worldwide. However, many stories have been told that this is not the case for everyone. With a relatively business friendly environment, smart people, hardworking attitude and plenty of natural resources, where did things go wrong?

     

    One oft-missed element about China is that China has the fastest transformation rate in regulatory, social, economic, demographic and cultural environments. The business world in China defies most traditional model, culture and even logic, and has disrupted once dependable success factors such as sales strategies, financial models, partnership arrangements, management systems, compensation schemes that had reliably provided success outside of China.

     

    At OPO Global, we provide strategic level perspective and execution skills to handle issues that are critical to success and survival in China of our clients. Our advisors are people who have been real senior executives for global and entrepreneurial companies in China and have deep experience in navigating and operating in the region.

     

    Where possible, we use proven methodologies and framework to achieve our clients’ goals; but the most critical contribution we can make are our experience and creativity in handling situations that are not the 'standard' problems. We are geared to work closely with senior executives to design and deliver customised solutions at their levels to achieve business success via measurable results.

     

    We will be happy to talk to you about your situation.

  • When To Engage OPO

    Just cut to the chase.

    When you haven't the bandwidth to cover your objectives, and wish you could multiply yourself;

     

    When your team doesn't share your cultural background and understands your expectations;

     

    When your team isn't living up to their potential;

     

    When you need battle-tested experience in market planning, organisational diplomacy and creative problem solving;

     

    When you want to build a credible and trustworthy organisation in the mobile economy;

     

    When you need precise navigation in the ocean of Chinese business or confidently take your business overseas;

     

    When you don't want your fees to pay for fancy offices and train their junior staff;

     

    Or

     

    You just need to have an intelligent conversation with someone

    We will act as an Executive Proxy of you to handle your projects or problems with not only experience, but also vision and understanding of executive-level issues.  This minimises risk of unnecessary mistakes that have high-level consequences, and will ensure communications to all levels in your organisation are handled with appropriate tone and power.

    Global Leadership Development Program

    We will build you an A-Team confident in operating on a global scale

    You know your team in China is smart and hardworking, but something seems to be missing.

     

    The difference is what you have come to expect but they were never exposed to.  Basically, it is how to relate, how to express, how to expect, how to fulfil and most importantly how to become owners of solutions

     

    Our Global Leadership Development Program assumes that your team already mastered the hard skills to be successful in their jobs.  Our goal is to push them to the level where they can operate seamlessly with the executive level both from a vision and cultural perspective.

     

    Our GLDP consists of a set of coaching and training programs customised to your company's industry, structure and culture, focus on value, global culture and professional expectations we take for granted to raise your team's credence, forward thinking ability and globalisation EQ.  We also give you candid feedback on how to assemble your A-Team.

     

    Unlike mere training and coaching programs, we will tie our success to actual business results.  That's just what leaders do.

    Strategy Factory

    Is your strategy merely a collection of individual cut-and-pastes?

    Believe that your team knows more than they expressed.

     

    We know that businesses do not compete merely on quality, brand, price, location any more; today companies compete on business models.  With new business models keep emerging and competitors popping up from unexpected corners, you cannot afford to leave your team's brain cells not exploited.  It is their world, and they know how it works and where it is heading.  Your strategy should be future oriented and come from people who are both contributor and user of the culture.

     

    The OPO Global Strategy Factory helps you organise and orient your team to think creatively and strategically.  Our process guides the participants to refine their reasoning by intensifying their ability to interact, absorb and synthesise each others' experience, research and insights to form 360 viewed, forward-thinking strategies.

     

    The result is expected be extraordinary, innovative and contemporary.

    Credence Enforcer

    Trust is the new currency

    In today business world, new technology overtaking existing technology in breakneck speed, ample of VC money pouring into startups, and consumers holding the power over businesses; competition comes from left, right, behind, or who knows where.

     

    To stay ahead, trust is a powerful leverage that no one can take away from you. To earn that honourably, all the components of your business have to be trustworthy. But when employees, processes, partners or technology goes awry, even if its no fault of your own, you still lose.

     

    The OPO Global Credence Enforcer service assess your business infrastructure and systems covering financial control, data security, partner relationship and personnel management so that you know where your exposure might be and fix them before they cost you your trust, and your business.

     

    Everybody can forgive honest mistake but seldom do people forget deliberate deception.  Let us help you make sure of that.

    Because of his experience and leadership insights, I would highly recommend him as a trusted advisor who can get the job done.

    Scarlett Du, Consumer Insights Director, Carat Beijing

    我的coach拥有丰富的管理经验和独到思想。在咨询初期,他很快就让我认清了我的职业发展所处阶段和面临的困境,从而启发我突破和改变的必要性;他为我的个人成长和职业规划指引了明确的方向,并给出了非常切实可行的建议和tips,让我懂得如何迈出这一步;他鼓励我看到自己的特点和优势,启发我做更有效的自我营销;他也启发我更好地平衡工作和生活,快乐的意义大于一切。

     

    最重要的是我在他的指导和启发之下,下定决心开始真正尝试一些态度和行为上的改变,这些改变将对我的个人成长和职业发展意义深远。我由衷地感激他!

    Tracy Shen, Planning Director, Carat Beijing

    As for both my career and life, your suggestions help me to be more clear about what I am going to pursue.  Your homework about the strategy of my company help me to make my final decision to transfer from traditional media planning to digital media planning.   And I succeeded in making this transfer happen in the following month. And your suggestion about “always keeping a relationship map in mind”, “understanding and following the big boss’s direction” will benefit me a lot in my future career life.  All in all, thank you for all your sharing about your experiences of both your career and life.

    Allen Ye, Associate Planning Director, Carat Shanghai

    此次coach session的时期正值我个人经历职业上的转折点。有些疑惑是目前自己想不通或者容易钻牛角尖的;有些问题是想听一下除了老板的建议外,其他专业人士的知道等。导师的解答方式非常独特,会以各种图形生动形象的表达观点,我觉得非常放松和舒服。并且他意见非常中立,有他欣赏的观点他会直接表达,有他觉得思考的不够全面或者不够大局观的地方他也会正面的提出。

     

    通过这次session,我认真的考虑过职业上的规划,并且在几次session之后,对目前工作终于到的困惑有非常“豁然开朗”的领悟;让我看到自己还有待进步的区域,比如在规划不只是想法,更多的是列下每一步具体行动等;也有幸了解了导师的经历一二,包括职场上曾经的瓶颈和解决方法、如何balance工作和家庭、如何坚持自己的兴趣等,轻松的氛围中找到了借鉴。

    Tanya, General Manager - Key Account, Carat Shanghai

    You gave me your suggestion based your working experience or life experience to meet my personalized needs. I am really appreciated for that. I think the what you are helping me is definitely open my mind up and letting me see things from a different perspective.

    Maggie Zeng, Buying Director, Trading Beijing

    这段教练经历,让我更加了解了我的优势以及我的兴趣在哪里,对我未来的职业发展有了更加明确的目标。并且已经在为我的目标设定短期中期及长期规划。

    Oscar Wang, National Trading & Investment Director, Posterscope Beijing

    与您的谈话中,关于对团队管理及自我管理的讨论让我受益匪浅:首先当你面临一个不断扩张的团队,作为LEADER,你需要有领袖意识,不要怕被超越,要大胆的带兵练兵,才可以强将手下无弱兵的,而自己也会被带上另一个更高的台阶;其次,面对两位有目标、有思路、有魄力,同时很信任你的老板,自己除跟进紧他们的前进的方向的同时,依然学会定期与他们用书面的形式交流与汇报,让他们看到你的总结性生产力;最后,思考自己的职业生涯,面对不同的时间,不同的平台,要敢于突破挑战,要舍得下,放的开,为更高的平台而努力。谢谢您的指导,让我们脑洞大开,DUANGDUANG的大赞!

    Leo Liu, Planning Manager, Posterscope Shanghai

    我将之前的一年作为职业生涯的调整和缓冲期,同时自己的确遇到工作热情和瓶颈的问题,在这个Program中,教练以自身经历为案例,在职业发展中建议了几项非常重要的必备意识和思考方式。以此设立了长期目标,制定短期和长期的目标,根据自身情况和外部环境做适时调整,但需要以自己的最终目标为方向。教练的个人经历非常丰富,无论是成功的还是失败的,以前辈的角度在事业和人生的角度给到我很多提醒和建议。我了解到气场建立是一个长期,自然形成的过程,教练从情商培养的角度帮助我设立了长期目标。同时我学到了对于平衡,指定详细的计划,设定和时间管理平衡个人自己的生活和工作,让两者更为平衡,从而可以相互支持。

     

    非常感谢教练在整个过程中亲力亲为给到我非常多务实的建议,并结合多次非常深入和直接的沟通,清晰地指出了我身上存在的缺点,我由此结合自身的经历,为了今后的职业生涯和人生规划制定了一个大致的方向。
