The Inescapable Reality of Crisis

We live in the age of crisis. At the heart of any crisis is the threat of rapid change. Change too deep or too wide that the current coping mechanisms for an individual, corporation or government are unable to remain resilient. An unwelcome paradigm shift, like the proverbial spider, that catches unprepared decision makers off guard in a web of entanglement. Yet, crisis has become an advanced business strategy, a political survival strategy, a cunning military strategy. That means everything can and eventually will be weaponised to achieve a strategic objective. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in seemingly obscure components of a critical value chain. Malaysia has seen several prime examples in recent times – palm oil, the glove industry and, as of a few days ago, the semiconductor sectors received external pressure due to their critical importance in defence technologies. What critical value chain do you find yourself [...]

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 [...]
