TTT and Knowledge-Transfer: A solid Train-the-Trainer and Knowledge-Transfer session with our appointed Facilitators always precedes any programme. SUSTAINABILITY: We believe that the success of any intervention depends on how it is sustained and followed upon. We are here to help make this happen. ALWAYS LINKED BACK TO THE BUSINESS: A successful intervention needs to address real-life business needs. Your people need to know that there is a clear, practical application of any theory, model and process presented.

The SB&A Team

Dr. Shi Bisset (D. Phil. Oxon) President and Group Founder

“Through this simulation, I have come to a deeper understanding of the KPIs involved in car dealership management. I now understand the overall operation process of a 4S business. I have learnt that it is unwise to pursue one-sided business performance. Instead, one should keep the big picture in mind. Dr. Bisset and Mr. Knox worked very hard over many months in customising this simulation to fit our purposes. They are truly exceptional business partners”

- Didon Tang, HR Director, Volvo Car Distribution (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

“I hired Dr. Shi Bisset in June 2011 for executive coaching sessions of a senior manager in my team. Shi was quick to grasp the complexities of his role and our business, and used her coaching skills to create a substantial increase in self-awareness, job satisfaction and performance in my team member, who reports to the MCC Executive Board. Shi and her Chinese team are also doing a great job of Leadership Training for all our Store Managers – we are into our fifth programme.”

- Andre van Regenmortel, Board Member & Vice-President Customer Management at Metro Cash and Carry China.

She proved herself to be a truly expert in Leadership Training and Multi-rater Evaluation/Feedback System and gave us valuable support for that project which was all but not easy to do in the Japanese environment. It is my honour to recommend Dr. Shi Bisset and her team as very reliable, energetic and result oriented consultants. They really do deliver sustainable results.”

Her global business experience and acumen, change management expertise combined with her pragmatic, principle centered and caring approach makes her a highly effective change management coach for senior leaders and teams needing to drive effective and efficient business results. My personal experience with Shi has been excellent.
