FROM PROBLEM TO MOVE
AN OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE
You know your business better than we do. Our job is different.
Working from the outside, DSI brings an independent perspective that helps challenge established assumptions, break recurring patterns and frame different questions.
We then test those questions against the realities of the market — before deciding what the next move should be.
WHY DSI?
If Al can do it, you don't need us.
If the work can be done without getting on a plane, walking into the company, meeting the people, challenging what happens on the ground and sitting across the table from those who can make things happen - then you probably don't need DSI.
And you shouldn't pay us for it.
We step in where analysis has to become access, relationships and action. Sometimes that means data.
Sometimes a factory floor. Sometimes a negotiation.
And sometimes, in China, it ends with a 干杯- ganbei.
We don't compete with AI on information.
We go where information ends.
Expertise
01 — FIND & SECURE THE RIGHT PARTNER
Does the business fit the market?
We identify, qualify and approach distributors, JV partners, suppliers, industrial customers or technology partners. We meet them, assess real interest and bring the right counterparties to the negotiating table.
Outcome: A qualified counterpart ready to discuss a real deal.
02 — FIX OR REBUILD THE CHINA OPERATION
We work directly inside the existing operation to identify what is not working and intervene where necessary — management, organization, partners, distribution, costs, supply chain or operating model.
Outcome: A reconfigured operation, not a report about one.
03 — BUILD THE LOCAL TEAM
We identify and recruit the people required to execute the strategy — from Country Managers and General Managers to commercial, technical and operational roles. We can also assess the effectiveness of the existing organization.
Outcome: The people needed to make the business work.
OUR PRINCIPLE
We don't assume the answer.
Enter. Stay. Change. Rebuild. Exit. Start again.
None of these is inherently the right decision.
You know your business better than we do.
Our role is different: to bring an independent perspective, challenge established assumptions and help frame the questions that are difficult to ask from inside.
Then we test them against the reality of the market.
Because the right move starts with seeing the position clearly.
