A bridge between China and Europe
FEIDA Consulting is a consulting firm created in Paris in November 2014, advising business leaders on strategy definition and implementation, continuous corporate performance improvement, and effectiveness of collaboration in a multicultural environment.
The creation of our company is based on such observation:
While the West and China want to know each other better, a lack of mutual understanding still separates our two worlds.
Despite some common points, cultural differences or codes impact the way of thinking, communicating, working and doing business between the Chinese and the Westerners.
OUR COMPANY
As described by our name: 飞 “FEI” meaning “fly” in Chinese and 达 “DA” meaning “arrive”, “achieve” and “succeed“, our goal is to:
Customization:
we integrate up front the specific needs of each client, the specificities of the market and cultural or intercultural elements;
Pragmatism:
we favor a pragmatic and very results-oriented approach;
Proactivity:
we promise prompt and proactive actions for our clients.
