Localisation of senior management is high on the agenda for many organizations 
operating in China for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are cost and 
market penetration. However, experience elsewhere and here in China shows that 
there are many issues to be addressed and obstacles to be overcome in achieving 
effective localization that does not impact negatively on an organisation's 
business performance over time. This seminar aims to provide attendees with a 
clearer understanding of the issues, a practical framework for assessing readiness 
and guidelines for addressing these challenges in their own organizations.
