Performance check China
Clear analysis, sustainable optimization – Strategy consulting with foresight.
Intransparent reporting, delayed initiatives, and a growing uncertainty about the situation on the ground. Without external perspective, critical problems often remain undiscovered.
We uncover hidden opportunities and address core challenges directly. Together, we build the strategic clarity needed for sound decisions and long-term success.
Person, country, or system?
The basis of our expertise at Steinkellner China Search is personnel consulting for carefully selected executives. Thanks to our extensive experience, we know that surface-level conflicts often mask more fundamental, systemic problems.
Before making expensive personnel decisions, our “Performance Check China” provides clarity. As a strategic diagnostic tool, it identifies the actual causes of stagnating performance – whether personal, structural, or strategic. This provides an objective basis for the right decision and concrete options for action instead of costly misjudgments.
Security before the next step: Objectively evaluate and manage performance in China.
Many companies acting in China know the feeling of uncertainty:
- Is the performance optimized or do hidden inefficiencies exist?
- Are our executives on-site acting in line with the overall strategy?
- Do the structures and processes still meet current market requirements?
- Are there cultural or communicative hurdles that are hindering success?
Distance, cultural nuances, and limited transparency often cloud objective evaluation – that’s where our expertise becomes invaluable.
Tailored analysis: Our approach for your specific China questions.
The “China Performance Check” is not a standard product, but a flexible analytical tool developed from concrete, individual challenges of our clients. As your interculturally versed partner, we precisely adapt this systematic, in-depth process for each specific issue and every situation.
Core components of our approach typically include:
- Analysis of performance indicators: Evaluation of the most important KPIs in the context of the local market and your company goals.
- Evaluation of leadership structures & key personnel: Objective assessment of the competencies, potential, and cultural fit of your management team on-site.
- Identification of efficiency brakes & untapped potentials: Uncovering weaknesses in processes, structures, and collaboration.
- Risk analysis: Identification of hidden operational, personnel, or compliance risks.
- Well-founded presentation of results: We provide a direct, unsparing, but always constructive analysis with honest, prioritized recommendations for action.

Client testimonials that speak for themselves:
Trust Results.
„Steinkellner China Search is now a long-standing cooperation partner of DEWETRON GmbH – with complete success and great satisfaction.
This cooperation took place from the very beginning with extensive preparation, a strong understanding of the requirements of our business – we were presented with candidates with an optimal requirement profile – as well as the excellent additional component of being able to think into the other person’s mind and, as a result, to act accordingly.
Even in this challenging time with COVID-19, the recruiting process in cooperation with Steinkellner China Search was very professional. Instead of face-to-face interviews, video calls for an initial interview were conducted very promptly and flexibly.“
„Although the requirements profile changed several times, Steinkellner China Search reacted quickly and presented us with very good plant manager candidates in line with the requirements profile. 9 months after recruitment, I can say that I am very satisfied with the choice and performance of the candidate.“
„The intensive consultation from start to finish was very important to me. Not everyone can do that. I was also surprised by the speed with which we found the right candidate.“
„We now finally have an unbeatable man on site with whom we can really make progress – even though we never got to meet him in person despite coronavirus.
The new plant manager was the best personnel decision of 2021!“
„They provided us with two perfect candidates for the final selection and our joint venture partner was able to choose one of them. Just as we had planned in advance.“
