To develop a thorough understanding of your situation and create a suitably informed roadmap, Grok will undertake a combination of extensive desk and field research. We will work with you to identify your areas of strength and, for those areas where further development is indicated, we will discuss best practices and recommendations with you. Based on the deep analysis and discussion, we will assist you to set your strategy in the local market, with short and mid-term action plans.
“Both China and New Zealand have been going through significant reforms in the vocational education sector. To fully understand the opportunities for New Zealand TVET providers, in 2020, Education New Zealand commissioned Grok to undertake market research in the Greater China region. The project was extensive, and we were glad to see such an informative and professionally prepared report with valuable insights, and presentations to ENZ and our key stakeholders. This project has helped create positive and engaging conversations across different departments in New Zealand in order to form a more strategic approach with governments, institutions, and enterprises in China. We enjoyed working with Grok, as their team are professional, knowledgeable, and are really nice to work with.
