The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to join professional interim managers Viktor Arak and Max Braendli at a morning seminar on the subject of “Company Turnaround and Interim Management in China” on
• Why and when do companies deploy an interim manager?
• What roles do interim managers play in reversing major corporate setbacks?
• How can troubleshooters turn around a company’s fortunes?
Viktor and Max will discuss how to successfully navigate the problems of sudden loss of senior management teams as well as the minefields of employee corruption, collusive suppliers, red tape, unfair competition, technology theft, supply squeeze, disappointed customers and demotivated staff, and they will give living examples of how to steer companies back to profitability and growth.
