The summer months are traditionally when we at Asia Society Switzerland are start planning our next year. The process looks slightly different each year, but always follows the same logic: 📝 In early July we kick off by reviewing all our programs and projects. Are they delivering on our mission to foster Asia Competence? How could we modify and expand them? We also review our objectives for the current year, and start discussing possible objectives for the next year. 🔧 Over the summer, we work on the projects and objectives. By end of August, we have a draft schedule for 2025 and a draft resource planning (who works on which projects when) ready. 📅 In September and October, we refine the planning, and finalize our budget draft. 💼 In November, the board discusses the objectives and budget, and immediately after, we set our Key Results for 2025. 🤔 What is your yearly planning process?

[Get your China CIO to talk to us] Why did we speak at the East China CIO Conference (华东CIO大会) in Hangzhou? - In the Chinese market, CIOs often face major headaches when selecting and implementing solutions for Asset Management and Maintenance. - Success rates are absurdly low, inevitably blamed on end-users. - Custom-developed software, still prevalent in the Chinese market and thought to be cheap, end up costing much more (if not abandoned in the first year, which is still the most common scenario). + Many CIOs either do not know us (our marketing problem, let's admit we have never been very sales oriented...) or/and are confused by our focus on operational issues rather than IT. We should talk more! With 20 years in the Chinese market, a longevity and track record unmatched, we may have solutions addressing both operational needs and IT constraints. This event was part of our 20th Anniversary Roadshow campaign to reach out to CIOs.
