For many years OI Partners Hong Kong has been providing cultural orientations for executives arriving in the different countries of the region. These programmes are coached on a one-to-one basis and include key subjects: history and geography, philosophy and religions, economic and political systems, family and education norms, social behaviour and business etiquette.

The aim of these programmes is to help you get up to speed quickly in your new environment. A successful cultural orientation can often save you six months of confusion and lost opportunities in your new role and the new location. The OI Partners programme puts a special focus on managing a cross-cultural team and managing remotely across the region. This is particularly relevant if you are taking up regional duties in one of the regional centres, Hong Kong , Singapore or Shanghai.

Your success also depends to a great extent on your family's ability to settle in happily and cope with the inevitable honeymoon and depression cycle. Please click on Partner Career and Transition Assistance programmes to see how we can help.
