Yes. Programs are designed city by city and company by company across Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hangzhou. Tell us your focus and we build the route.

How long does a typical program take?

Programs range from a one-day deep dive to a four-day study program, with multi-city routes spanning one to two weeks. We tailor depth and pace to your team.
