Why Asia capabilities matter

Importance of Asia capabilities

Understanding what it takes to do business in and with Asia, is vital to achieving long term financial and strategic outcomes. Although many Australian businesses say a lack of Asia capability is holding them back.

Asialink Business offers market-leading expertise in building these capabilities. Our mandate and mission are born from recommendations of a taskforce of prominent business leaders convened by Asialink. In collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group, the taskforce identified a strong correlation between business success in the region and Asia capabilities.

Asia capabilities are a mix of individual and organisational capabilities. They encompass relationship building skills, Asia knowledge and experience and cultural intelligence. These are complemented by organisational capabilities based around leadership and corporate strategy, customised offerings and talent management.
