Viel des Raumes in Shanghai

7. Juni 2007 durch China Geschäft Erfolg-Geschichten

Viel des Raumes in ShanghaiTalent&Pro ist eine junge und flexible funktionsfähige Beratungagentur, die auf Bänke und Versicherungsgesellschaften konzentriert. Es ist eine Agentur, die, abgesehen von dem Zur Verfügung stellen der hochwertigen Services in Richtung zu den Klienten, betreffend die persönlichen Entwicklung und Karrieregelegenheiten seiner eigenen Angestellten außerdem stark ist. Die, die bei Talent&Pro eingesetzt werden, werden einen zweijährigen Vertrag, mit einer one-off Verlängerung fünf Jahren angeboten, während deren sie allen Raum empfangen, um ihre Pläne während der Zukunft vorzubereiten und zu formen. Im Allgemeinen gerade wie Marco tat Hoekstra es. Mit vielen Jahren' Erfahrung im Bankverkehr und in der Finanzierung, begann er heraus bei Talent&Pro als funktionsfähiger Manager in den Niederlanden vor 7 Jahren. Z.Z. mit über 400 Angestellten, richtet Marco seine Aufmerksamkeit auf Talent&Pro China.

Ein geborener Entwickler, Marco hat großes Interesse an der schnellen ökonomischen Entwicklung. Nach den Niederlanden wurden Deutschland und Großbritannien, es waren der rechte Moment erobert, zum einer neuen Talent&Pro Niederlassung im Fernen Osten zu verwirklichen. „Ein Platz, in dem der Markt oben Geschwindigkeit entwickelt, in der der hektische Schritt der verbessernden Wirtschaft neue Strategien alle Zeit erfordert und wo jung, in hohem Grade qualifizierte Einzelpersonen haben eine Neigung für Internationalisierung…“ Shanghai, China.

Forschung
„Durchaus ging eine Menge Forschung die Wahl für Shanghai voran. Von Singapur nach Thailand, von Taiwan nach Indien: wir reisten ganz über Asien. Anfangs flüchtiger Blick kann es offensichtlicher scheinen, sich in einem Land ökonomisch herzustellen, das wenig mehr vorgerückt hat. Noch gibt es auch Nachteile in dem. Maybe the market in those areas is more ‘ready’ for you as a company with a typical Western style, but that does not necessarily make it more fun. For example, if you arrive from Hong Kong in a relatively less developed place like Shanghai, you will see that over time you have become spoiled. To start out in the youngest economy was a more logical choice for us.”

Switch
The branch in Shanghai became a fact as of October 2006, with Marco Hoekstra at the helm. He visibly feels at home there. “It’s great to see the success we have. In the Netherlands almost all our employees end up with one of our clients holding a permanent contract, after their time at Talent&Pro, and then hire us in their client role for new challenges. Of course we are not that far advanced in Shanghai yet, but the first reactions are encouraging. In a market that is internationalizing this rapidly, we can switch between various cultures, which is invaluable. And that is what Talent&Pro offers. In China we only employ Chinese, all of whom have experience abroad. They are not only experts in insurance and banking issues, but, moreover, they are excellently capable of dealing with cultural differences.”

Just a little different
To maintain highly qualified employees for your company can be difficult in China. How does that work at Talent&Pro? “We have not been active long enough to see how things will work out for us, but I think that our model bears its fruit in precisely this way. All orders that our employees receive are aimed at further development. Our organization structure is flat and open. That is relatively new here in China. People from the ‘lowest’ level within the company are not used to being able to become friends with me, the manager. Despite the fact that personal connections are so important here to successfully do business. Therefore I try to do my best to loosen my employees from the purely business-like issues. Many Chinese are quite bewildered by that, but in my experience they quickly accept from a Westerner that things really can be done in a different way. Especially if you make an effort to deal with the local culture, instead of pressing your own demands at all costs. There is plenty of space for a social approach in this city of millions.”

Talent&Pro is specialised in Operational Consultancy to the international Insurance and Banking markets. Talent&Pro employs over 400 staff deployed throughout Europe and in China. Strategically adding value to work flow and project management needs. Talent&Pro was founded in 1999 by Maarten Timmerman (psychologist) and Cint Kortmann (sociologist). With the idea of filling the gap between university and working life, they developed a unique mission statement: “we develop people for the market”.

To encourage personal and professional development, Talent&Pro became the company, where Master and Bachelor graduates expand their horizons, gaining experience and expertise.
