Wordpress Site Design - Managing Across Asia (consulting services)
Managing Across Asia
Please design a WordPress web template/site for www.ManagingAcross.Asia (the extension is dot Asia) with the objective that I will be able to maintain it myself afterwards. This website will allow me to decommission two other websites of mine www.RFPCompany.com and www.ExtractValueFromConsultants.com although I will create redirects so that if there is an internet search for RFPCompany, it will land on ManagingAcross.Asia . There are some comments in the outline below about some content that should be extracted from these two sites to be decommissioned. I also maintain a Wordpress blog site www.MNCGuru.com which I either will retain or you are welcome to suggest how I could incorporate it into the ManagingAcross.Asia WordPress site. I will continue to need a blogging capability. Right now, reach me through Gordon@MNCGuru.com and I can email you the files below (photos, book cover) that cannot be captured in this briefing box. The logo for the firm is shown below. I have listed the various formats I have available below - just ask for what you need to leverage the logo design and coloring for the site. I suspect your design will reflect a similar gold/brown tone with Asia/map/journey imagery but that is up to your creativity. The target audience is executives of multinationals or SMEs (or the reality, their direct reports).  Logo is created on adobe illustrator CS5 with os window 7. Editing can be done on any vector editable software like illustrator CS5 onward ,coral draw ,freehand..etc. Web and ms office suite files is ready for use(transparent PNG). Files formats available are: EPS - Ai vector PDF vector jpeg transparent PNG (web and ms office) transparent gif tif vector files(EPS,PDF and AI are fully editable and used for high class print) jpeg file is in high res and used as general print. font file is attached with the set. font used as Managing - TrajanPro-bold Across Asia -TrajanPro-Regular Color info brown - light brown- #CBB477, CMYK (22,25,62,0 ) dark brown - #876D2F, CMYK (41,49,96,21 ) grey- light grey- #999999, CMYK (43,35,35,1 ) dark grey- #666666, CMYK (60,51,51,20 ) black background- black- #000000, CMYK (100,100,100,100 ) Obviously, in the website you can incorporate graphics or pictures (some photos of me below).      Below are content for various pages which should be self-explanatory - use as appropriate. You should have a contact email button on the pages (probably right corner) which would populate Gordon@ManagingAcross.Asia in the user’s email application. HOME PAGE (SERVICES) Academic research has found that Western organizations have failed to perform as well in Asia as in their home region. This finding has significant implications for as Asia returns to its historical role as the primary economic engine of the world, Western organizations will be unable to maintain the growth rates they enjoyed in the era when Western markets were pre-eminent. Our more optimistic scenario assumes that Western organizations have not applied the appropriate strategic and operational approaches in Asia precisely due to the greater economic opportunities that were available during the 20th century within their home region. But Western organizations are now making Asia a strategic priority and have the capability to build and manage highly successful operations across Asia. And Managing Across Asia is there to support them. Managing Across Asia advises board members, CEOs, and their management team at the corporate headquarters, Asia regional office, and local country level with: - Enhancing corporate governance to promote greater success in Asia - Realigning Asia regional office to cost effectively balance among local responsiveness, risk management, knowledge sharing, and regional synergy objectives - Structuring multi-country initiatives/projects at the inception stage so that they build new capabilities while promoting a broader global mindset across Asia regional and country-level operating entities - Developing more productive Asian-Western cross-cultural management teams at the corporate, regional, and particularly, local country level Undertaking strategic and operational assessments of local country operations Managing Across Asia also undertakes strategic research of markets and competitors as well as facilitating strategic management workshops and Asia regional meetings ORGANISATIONS SERVED Since the mid-1980s, Gordon Perchthold has personally served 42 organisations headquartered in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States delivering more than 150 projects involving the cultures, markets, and/or business operations in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, United States, and Vietnam. These organisations include: AEGON Aetna Allianz AIG/AIA American Nuclear Insurers AMP ANZ Bank AXA Bankers Trust Bank of Nova Scotia Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Canadian Surety CIL Commonwealth Bank of Australia Daimler Chrysler Mitsubishi Fuso Deutsche Bank The Doctors’ Company Dominion General Insurance Company of Canada Gibraltar Life Hartford Life ING Manulife Financial Mass Mutual MetLife National Australia Bank New York Life Old Mutual Ontario Mutual Insurance Group Perth Building Society PruCanada Prudential plc Prudential Financial Prudential Healthcare Group Richard Ivey School of Business / Asia Royal Trust Samsung Life SK Life State Bank of New South Wales State Bank of South Australia State Bank of Victoria Sun Life Financial Telesat Canada PROJECT EXAMPLES Restructure Asia Regional Office: This Fortune 200 company recognised that its Asia regional office simply emerged over the years defined by the preferences of its regional CEO or in response to critical events. Without an architecture, Asia Regional Office risked evolving into a costly bureaucracy that added more cost than value to the organisation. The new Regional CEO wished to apply a more logical and structured approach that considered what should be the role of Asia Regional Office visa via its country operations that would allow its local operations to continue to be responsive to the local market, facilitate knowledge transfer across the different operations in Asia, allow the synergies of being a multinational to be realised in selected areas while maintaining protecting the corporation with the appropriate infrastructure for monitoring and managing risks at the country and regional level. Structure Pan-Asia Initiative: <Gordon to create text> Facilitate Regional Strategic Workshop: <Gordon to create text> PRINCIPAL OFFICER Over a period of three decades, as a management consultant, Partner, and/or Managing Partner, the firms of Accenture, Deloitte Consulting, ABeam Consulting (headquartered in Japan), and The RFP Company (Hong Kong) have formed the pedigree from which Gordon Perchthold today delivers the international management consulting services for Managing Across Asia. Accenture contributed technical and project management discipline, Deloitte honed general management and people skills, ABeam enhanced multi-cultural capabilities, while The RFP Company, not being tied to country-level P&L targets that encumber the foregoing firms, permitted the development of expertise to architect large-scale multi-country pan-Asian initiatives for multinationals. The RFP Company also allowed Gordon the opportunity to reassess the value that the management consulting industry actually provides to its clients culminating in the published book for users of consultants entitled Extract Value From Consultants: How to Hire, Use, and Fire Them! From an scholastic perspective, Gordon was unique in 1984 (when punch cards were still prevalent) in being the only student to graduate from the University of Toronto with joint specialist degrees in both Commerce and Computer Sciences. After six years project managing the delivery of technology solutions on behalf of Unisys and NCR to retail banks in Canada and Australia (contributing to the establishment of Australia’s EFTPOS network), Gordon focused on business strategy and international business while obtaining an MBA from Canada’s elite case study business school, Ivey. Today, his PhD research through the University of Sydney on How Corporate Boards of Western Multinationals Can Build and Manage Successful Operations Across Asia is not only a relevant topic for multinationals pursuing business throughout Asia but the association also enhances the rigor of the research methods applied for his clients. A Canadian and Australian, Gordon has served over 40 multinationals headquartered in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States. Client management teams advised and their cross-cultural employees worked with have been located at corporate office, Asia regional office, and extensively within local country operations. Local countries assignments have spanned Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, United States and since 1997, the 12 largest countries (by GDP) in Asia, both as a region and as individual countries. Since the late 1990’s, Gordon has lived in Korea, Japan, Thailand and now Hong Kong where he assists multinationals with Managing Across Asia. EXTRACT VALUE FROM CONSULTANTS <note to web designer: please review http://extractvaluefromconsultants.com/2011/?page_id=608 which is my booksite which I no longer wish to retain. I would like to create a page within the ManagingAcrossAsia website that includes the cover page of the book and associated text, plus the book content links (opens new web page), and finally a link to the book on amazon.com (you can forget about the other bookstores).> Generate greater value from consultants with this simple proactive plan. During 2010, Gordon Perchthold co-authored Extract Value from Consultants to help organizations make appropriate choices about the consultants they hire, and to manage them more effectively over the course of the project. Packed with firsthand observations, case studies, and valuable templates, the book details a step-by-step approach for companies to successfully select and manage consultants, particularly in Asia where consulting capability, even among the globally branded firms, is still highly variable. Derived from decades of experience in consulting practices and work in locations around the globe—including projects to evaluate consulting firms like Accenture, Bain, Deloitte, IBM, and Infosys; and consulting to many leading companies including AFLAC, AMP, BP, DeBeers, Deutsche Bank, Prudential, Samsung, and Telesat Canada – the authors reveal the inside secrets of the consulting trade. In clear and commonsense language, they demystify the increasingly complex world of global consulting, and explain how to maximize benefits while reducing consulting expenditure. The consulting industry has evolved from a profession where work was undertaken on the basis of trust and a handshake to a massive, revenue-driven industry, with sophisticated sales, contracting and client management processes. Yet many of the organizations that hire consultants have failed to recognize these changes and the need to adapt their approaches accordingly. Too often organizations let consultants dictate where, when, and how they will deliver value. In today’s economic environment, it’s time for executives and managers to turn the tables and take back control—from the consultant’s initial sales call to the end of their engagement. KNOWLEDGE CAPITAL <note to web developer: There are a range of past articles and presentations on http://www.rfpcompany.com/2011/?page_id=22 . I should probably find an approach to bring them across to this new site> The experiences of Managing Across Asia span across a broad range of markets and management practices that have accumulated over many projects, research studies, clients, countries and years. Documenting and communicating perspectives not only helps to structure and refine one’s thoughts, but also feeds back learnings and experiences back to the client base and broader business community. Accordingly, over the years there have been regular contributors to various publications and conferences which you are welcome to review. MNCGURU BLOG This will either be a separate page integrated into the ManagingAcross.Asia site or perhaps capture the posts in a sidebar from the separate www.MNCGuru.com blog site - not sure which is better approach.
