What we do
For the last decade, Sapphire Group’s team has worked with the Boards and Senior Management Teams of our clients in order to identify and capitalize on opportunities to create sustainable growth and ensure that their organization deals with the demands of Asia’s competitive economies.
Sapphire helps Western, Asian and Chinese companies with the issues they face when they are managing their businesses and product ranges through the different economic cycles.
In order to add as much value to our clients as possible, we offer our clients the following three practices:
• Market Research & Strategy Solutions:
Our Market Research & Strategy Solutions Practices assists our Clients with understanding all the segments and details that make up the markets they operate in so that they can make the right decisions for their products and organisations.
Our analysts are combining standard quantitave and qualitative Market Research tools such as Focus Groups, workshops, field research, data mining, demographic research and face to face interviews with their strong analytical skills and Sapphire Group’s proven methodologies to make complex issues more transparant and provide our clients with greater insigths.
Once we have finished our Market Research work, our Strategy people can work with you to develop the best way forwar by developing a winning strategy for your organisation, product or service so you can thrive in your chosen markets.
• Corporate Solutions
Sapphire Group’s Corporate Solutions Practice works with our clients to set up or expand their corporate structure in Asia. Our Corporate Solutions Team has deep experience in mergers and acquisitions, joint venture arrangements, strategic alliances, management buy outs, and divestures. As we are an entrepreneurial organisation, we enjoy coming up with the creative ideas that will make a deal work.
Depending on our clients internal resources, we either manage the entire cycle or only focus on certain areas in which our clients migth lacks the expertise or resources. Especially in areas such as due diligence, negotiations and integration planning have we shown our strenghts as a valuable partner with a huge impact on the success of transaction and its future impact.
While industry research often shows the difficulty in creating shareholder value for the acquiring company, we have seen that the combination of our three Solution Practices allows our clients to find the right partner, understand the different issues the transaction faces and succesfully integrate the new organistion post deal so that the expected synergies are realised.
• People Solutions
Although the quality of a company’s human capital is crucial in all its markets, it is absolutely vital in Asia’s emerging markets and especially in China. Our People Solutions practice is geared towards assisting our clients’ workforce and management team, at all levels, to become more effective, transparant and productive.
In order to achieve this, we focus on solution development and Project Management and where our competitors often use larger teams for certain types of projects, we endeavor to recruit some of your internal resources into our team so that we can transfer our knowledge to your organization from day one. This ensures that your organization has ownership of all projects from day one and this benefits the successful implementation of our projects.
