4. Mr. Manoj Menon, Senior Partner & Asia
Pacific Managing Director, Frost & Sullivan
said that disruption everywhere is a frighten-
ing prospect for most companies unaware
of new technologies that will soon arrive to
threaten market position and send their
strategy, R&D, and product development
teams into tail spins.
He shared views from Frost & Sullivan's
TechVision program to highlight the top 50
disruptive technologies with a powerful
message around what you should do to get
ahead of the threat.
Mr. Bhat also said that better access to
capital to finance acquisitions for mid-sized
companies and the organization of
business-to-business matchmaking exercis-
es would also help raise the competitiveness
of Malaysian companies ahead of AEC
implementation.
He added that further liberalization of
sectors will result in cross-border invest-
ments in the financial, infrastructure and
logistics, energy, utilities, food, retail and
healthcare sector.
In his presentation ASEAN Economic
Community: Opportunity or Threat? What
should you know and what should you do?,
Mr. Nitin Bhat, Partner & Head of Consulting
at Frost & Sullivan said that the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) could push
local companies to become regional power-
houses.
“To increase the competitiveness of Malay-
sian companies and prepare them better for
further economic integration, local compa-
nies need to move away from low-labor cost
production operations. The Government also
should invest heavily in upgrading technical
and vocational training through closer collab-
oration with private sector,” he said.

5. Frost & Sullivan’s key analysts took to the
stage to share their latest research findings
in the GIL Bytes Presentation, a rapid-fire
session.
Below are key ideas from Frost & Sullivan’s
analysts’ presentations:
“Wearables has the potential to impact
virtually every consumer and enterprise
regardless of demography, job function or
industry vertical. Wearable tech will disrupt
the status quo in many areas such as
logistics, healthcare, security and impact
efficiency of workers in construction and
field engineering.”
WINNIE WONG (ICT)
“The sharing economy is already disrupting
traditional businesses. It is a model that
challenges rules and regulations. The
sharing business is also a double edged
sword.”
CHIA YI HAN (PUBLIC SECTOR)
“Healthcare delivery and payment model
needs to change radically. We continue to
pay for treatments rather than outcomes.
Care coordination and primary care
solutions should be the next step for
Malaysia.”
NATASHA GULATI (HEALTHCARE)
“Aspects of natural resources pertaining to
depletion of resources, environmental
impact (pollution) and volatility in price of
natural resources paves the way towards
sustainable sources for renewable energy ”
KEITH LEE (BUSINESS, FINANCIAL
SERVICES)
“Home care technologies to support
aged-care have seen an exponential
increase in demand globally. Elderly
residential communities need to be
constructed using an evidence-based
approach. Augmenting elderly income
could significantly reduce the cost impact
of an ageing population.”
FAKHIRAH ROSLAN (HEALTHCARE)
“Crime rates are falling in most countries,
while fear of crime is increasing. Fear of
Crime is a larger problem than crime itself.”

Legends of Asia
The highlight of the conference was the GIL Exclusive:
Legends of Asia session where Mr. Manoj Menon had a
conversation on leadership with one of Malaysia’s
prominent leaders who has made a remarkable
transition from leading corporate businesses to holding
cabinet positions in government, Dato’ Sri Idris Jala,
CEO of PEMANDU and Minister in the Prime Minister’s
Department.
By Manoj Menon
First published on Manoj’s Linkedin
Conversations with Dato’ Sri Idris Jala
I first met Dato’ Sri Idris Jala when he was
the CEO of Malaysian Airlines on October
16, 2008. He was receiving the Excellence in
Leadership award for the commendable
work he had done at Malaysian Airlines. He
had managed to make the company profit-
able in less than 2 years after the airline had
posted its largest ever loss in its history in
2005.
His acceptance speech that evening in 2008
is still very clear in my memory. He talked
about the six secrets of business transforma-
tion that he had embarked on at Malaysian
Airlines. These six precepts* as he called it
include:
1. Play the game of the impossible
2. Use Key Performance Indicators as
anchors
3. Discipline of action
4. Exercise situational leadership
5. Building a winning coalition
6. Accept “divine intervention”

8. On 14th April 2015, I had the opportunity to
have a conversation with Dato’ Sri on the
same forum – the Frost & Sullivan Growth,
Innovation & Leadership summit - (seven
years later) in a session aptly titled “Legends
of Asia”. By this time he had added another
feather to his cap. He had now spent the
last five years as the Chief Transformation
Officer of the Government of Malaysia.
His career is most unique in a way that it has
traversed the private sector, the semi
government sector and finally in govern-
ment. Following are some of the lessons
from this recent conversation:
• On whether the six secrets of
business transformation was still relevant
today – “The six principles are universal,
what has changed is how you apply them.
Leadership style for example changes from
being directive at the beginning to empow-
erment once the followers become compe-
tent.
• To be a very successful leader you
have to leverage both the emotion and
intellect. If you use only one of the two, you
are using only half your capability. We must
evoke push to the hill our intellect as well as
our emotion. Communication cannot be just
done rationally, it has to reach out to the
hearts of the people. Music helps me evoke
the inner part of the soul, particularly the
Blues.
• What separates a good leader and
a GREAT leader - Strength of Conviction- A
great leader should have the ability to follow
through on his conviction. He should feel
deeply about the cause or idea he
represents. There are always lots of compel-
ling reasons to not follow through. Convic-
tion is what separates a great leader from a
good leader.
• Who has inspired him- Nelson
Mandela and his ability to forgive and
forget. He was able to forgive the people
who kept him in jail for 27 years. The way he
brought the nation together post-indepen-
dence is remarkable.
• Vulnerability is a virtue. Every
leader should know that he/she cannot
control everything that happens in our life.
This makes the leader humble. Humility is a
great part of leadership. Humility should
not be misunderstood with assertiveness or
being directive. The graveyard is full of
people who thought they are indispensable.
Leaders should also know when to put a
full-stop and let their teams continue the
journey.
• The only way to develop your
leadership is by doing it. No amount of
education can help you become a great
leader. Leadership is honed through experi-
ence. Failure is the best teacher, but do not
make it a habit. Do not repeat your failures.
• “Finally, a leader is all about his or
her followers.” This one statement was also
repeated by Malaysia’s former Prime Minis-
ter Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad later in the
day at the Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Excel-
lence Awards. Without the followers, there
is no leader.
Dato’ Sri had the entire audience
spellbound with his stories, humor and
candor. He is undeniably one of the best
communicators we have in Malaysia today.
We wish him continued success as he leads
PEMANDU through another transformation
of becoming a financially self-sufficient
organization.
