Seminar

Are Your Technical People Giving Away Your Million Dollar Secrets?
(1 day)

Westerners lose their intellectual property (IP) in the Asia Pacific for all sorts of reasons. My 2,000 hours of interviews with Asians revealed that cultural reasons and human factors contribute greatly to the intellectual piracy scourge.

Our lack of attention to these matters has cost us dearly. (Intellectual Property Law did not come into effect until 1982. The change of mindset has yet to filter through the Chinese consciousness.)

This seminar teaches powerful strategies that you can implement right now to safeguard your trade secrets, at every level of your company.

Course Highlights:                                                                          

 Take a 360º look at the problem, its cultural roots, and the faulty western traits and assumptions that contribute to the problem.

 Draw up a plan to take strategic action to change the things that are within your power to change.

 Outline specific steps your managers can take to make IP protection everyone’s responsibility

 Protect your IP on several fronts:

     ü   Legal Safeguards
        ü   Business Development Strategies
        ü   Human Resource Practices
        ü   Operational Precautions

 Strategic Actions, Guidelines and Checklists
