再见 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘆𝗲 𝗯𝘆𝗲! ✈️ - 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 After 3 months on a work project for Mercedes-Benz Management Consulting (Mercedes-Benz AG) in Beijing, China 🇨🇳 it is time for me to say goodbye and return to Germany 🇩🇪 This project has been an incredibly valuable experience, both personally and professionally. Here are some of my key takeaways: 🚙 𝟭. 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Being in China allowed me to experience competitor vehicles firsthand and better understand industry trends, especially the strong focus on infotainment. 🗣️ 𝟮. 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Working across cultures and time zones taught me the importance of clear communication and effective stakeholder management. 👨🏼💻 𝟯. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: Experiencing a different work culture highlighted the value of diverse work practices, emphasizing the benefits of combining German process-driven methods with pragmatic Chinese approaches. One final update: For those of you who read my last post, yes, the team and I did join one of the daily square dancing gatherings, so I successfully achieved one of my personal KPIs for this month: "Participate in Local Activities." 🕺🏼 A special thanks to my Chinese and German colleagues from MBMC who made this trip such an amazing experience (Simon Deutsch (德希蒙) Alexander Fehrle Jie Cheng Mengjie (Bessy) Ma Yuan ZHOU @Shen, @Mavis) 🙏🏼 #MBMC #ProfessionalGrowth #ProjectRecap
