“In 1994 or 1995, when i Capital first raised the serious problem of Malaysia’s poor PEC (Productivity, Efficiency and Competitiveness), China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc were not competitors. Malaysia was naively thinking she was ahead of them. How so foolish we look now. When the Great Asian Crisis broke out in 1997, Malaysia again lost valuable opportunities and failed and refused to undertake serious reforms. Are we now repeating the same fatal errors?”

- Tan Teng Boo, i Capital

For some organizations, near-term survival or changing to new businesses is the order of the day. Others are thinking about how to position themselves once the crisis has passed and things return to normal. With much uncertainty that lies ahead, it will not look like the normal of recent years. It is the era of the New Normal where, for organizations to succeed, they must focus on what has changed and what remains.

On 2 November 2009, a CEO Tea talk was held at the The Saujana, Kuala Lumpur.
