OPINION: Deeper context required for future SEA Games performance

Nordin Abdullah speaking at the Stratcom Disaster Communication Forum held in Ankara, Turkiye from 25-26 April 2023. | NHA File Photo The classic knee-jerk reaction is to say, fire the coach, change the leadership of associations, and reduce the funding till they start performing better. This kind of negative reinforcement may work for kindergarten children, but we are dealing with high-performance adults – individuals much further along in their psychological and professional development journey. There is a need for a strategic shift in attitude and allocation if Malaysia is going to match its perceived vision of itself and the required image to be projected on the regional and global stage. How the nation competes, how an association competes and ultimately how an athlete competes is a function of the system that they are produced from. Do we have an understanding of the competitive landscape in which our national [...]

ADDRESSING CYBER ATTACKS IN A HYPER SENSITIVE MEDIA ENVIRONMENT AND THE IMPACT ON STAKEHOLDER VALUE

The Malaysia Global Business Forum (MGBF)’s exclusive roundtable on ‘Addressing Weaponised Information in the Media’ was held in a hybrid setting today at the Hilton Kuala Lumpur.

The battlespace has evolved. The objectives remain the same but tactics have changed.

The battlespace has evolved. The objectives remain the same but tactics have changed. "The Cognitive Game" explores how critical corporate supply chains are impacted by cognitive attacks. These attacks play out in the digital and physical worlds, on the surface they may seem like cyber attacks or attacks in the media by activists but they go deeper than initially imagined. We will look at what it means for countries and corporations to fight a conflict in the collective minds of constituent populations. The convergence of human knowledge has come down to how leaders will marshal their resources, but what are the strategic resources in cognitive warfare? What are your core strategic interests and what are the gaps in your defenses? Check out the opening gambit of the game here: https://youtu.be/gW-ZS2iGkmc

What businesses need to know about foresight in Malaysia

The current floods that have impacted various parts of the country have given rise to an extensive commentary on the response cycles of various stakeholders.  It has in turn led to continued crisis communications and statements in the media by agencies and ministries alike.  This binary approach to the discussion has also created a perceived “us and them” situation when in a crisis of this nature there should only be “we”. Instead of being anxious about the ongoing commentary and flood of social media comments, the government should now take the opportunity to actively listen and embrace the process. This is free business intelligence, especially if the business model is keeping people happy and safe.  Don’t let the critical data go the way of the floodwaters – simply flowing into the oceans or seeping back into the soil. The challenge will be organising the information into a meaningful framework. For [...]

Drones and Smart Cities – A response to COVID-19

To drone or not to drone, is no longer a question.  The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need to remove the human touch from the delivery of many goods and services.  How will we humanise this experience in the coming years and strike a balance between the buzz of drones and the friendly smile of a delivery person?  According to the latest data from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 55 per cent of the world’s population lives in urban areas. This is expected to increase to 68 per cent by 2050.  It’s clear that cities will need to be smarter and drones will play an increasingly leading role. A city can only be as smart as the people who live there, which means we are looking at an education problem. Putting that aside, cities vying to be considered “smart” need to be the [...]
