Questions we asked Bo:
1. You’ve devoted more than 10 years of your life to helping European companies expand their businesses in China. Why have you chosen this area of focus? Given China’s resources and strength, why does it need the West?
2. In the COVID-19 new normal world, what do you see as the top opportunities for Western companies to genuinely serve the Chinese market?
3. Clearly, communication, PR and relationships with influencers are key components of success in any market. Can you give any actionable tips for Western companies as to strategies you believe are particularly effective in China?
4. Can you give any examples of Western brands who you admire and who you think are managing their China PR and communications well, right now? What is it that they are doing right?
5. You recently launched “Igniting Innovation for Impact” programme with Moller Institute, Churchill College of the University of Cambridge. Could you please tell us what impact leadership is exactly? What do you want to achieve through this programme? For more information about the programme, download the brochure here.
