Creating Exponential Growth

REGISTER NOW
Picture
Divergent notions are needed to adapt to the rapid change in technology to remain competitive. Organisations must leverage emerging technologies to create abundance and scale to deliver exponential value. Futureproof your mindset and strategy to navigate intuitively into the future economy with us this 20th November 2019.​

INTRODUCTION
Technology and availability of information are reshaping business landscapes in many ways, faster than ever, however, many organisations are still structured in a linear manner, unable to embrace the potential quantum leap it is able to take on. The transformation process required is not only about infusing technology into existing processes but more of a crosscutting of strategies which will influence priorities, processes, culture and mindset within the organisation, for it to identify new growth areas and emerging opportunities, while contriving game-changing innovations. 

We have curated a remarkable lineup of speakers and panellist for the morning to share the experience and insights. 
Based on numerous global conversations, Tim Jones will be starting off with trends and potential challenges that would impact large companies. This will be followed by Hirzun who will share his experience of innovating in Sime Darby Plantations and how they balance long term with short term gains while creating the right mindset within. Raja will be sharing how MDEC is supporting the ecosystem in the adoption of  Digital Transformation, while Azim will be talking about the hybrid Digital and Innovation Mindset that is needed to create exponential growth. Last but not least, Kevin will be sharing how organisations can scale by utilising the Exponential Organisations (ExO) Attributes.  

Come and join us to learn about the latest trends which your organisation should be considering to remain relevant and competitive, grasp how the ‘Organisation 3.0’ should operate and strategise how you can help your organisation stand out from the competition! The Digital Age waits for no one… #futureishere. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This session is designed for audiences who are from medium and large organisations, in particular, those from Innovation, Digital or Transformation teams, leaders involved in Transformation or Strategy, CIOs, CTOs and other leaders who are exploring how to tap of innovative and digital to drive innovation in large organisations.
