WelCome!
Power of success lies within you.
To know what you do not know and to know what you know proper, are equally important to navigate towards success. Wisdom and intellect are interwoven in this journey.
The biggest hindrance to see the world with an open mind is the baggage that we carry. The baggage of memories that we’ve accumulated since birth through the five senses and myriad of inputs through cultural, educational and other means. To unleash the power within, its paramount that we challenge ourselves and go beyond these traditional boundaries.
The idea of this blog is to share some actions and thoughts, that could inspire. Ideas that would be useful to another. Knowledge that could be helpful to break barriers. Create networks that would build a collaborative mindset to further your goals. Wisdom to see beyond.
Read. Listen. Contribute. Send feedback. I cherish the ideology of sharing knowledge and learning from one another.
About Me
For nearly four decades I have been learning. Learning through superiors, peers, subordinates, and a myriad of networks that I have built including friends and family. I didn’t just learn economics and business, but gained wisdom, obtained knowledge, learnt to understand behaviour, and aided in changing lives of people around. Corporates from multinationals to local conglomerates provided me the platform to operate, whilst many an association, professional body, non-profit to other social communities, moulded me to become who I am today. I can boldly say that I am wiser by many-folds, patient to understand diversity in business and sharp as an eagle to spot potential and opportunity. To me, business has been all about changing communities around self, for the better. Read More ….

Experience
Building sustainable businesses that are aligned with the organizations vision and created through a robust platform of governance, risk, and compliance to optimize stakeholder wealth. Aligning corporate strategy including financial alignment for greater wellbeing of the enterprise.
A critical mindset to understand, access and identify the right people and organizations to do business with, to stay at the top of the Industry with business growth and longevity. A strong network of credible and outstanding professionals across many Industries to expand business offerings and strengthen the Brand is key.
As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said “Change is the only constant in life” – this is incredibly relevant to organizations. A deep desire coupled with ample experience to identify financial or operational distress and execute strategies for required shifts. The ability to handle business complexities and provide expertise by bringing in the right tools, processes, and professionals.
This is what creates intangible value and growth that every Leader needs to capitalize on. An organization’s business capability intensely relies on its people and processes to accomplish its business objectives. Good organizations add value to people and equip them with the needed knowledge, skills, abilities, and expertise.
How one markets one’s business will determine the success of an organization. A business not only needs the right product to launch at the right time, but it also needs the best suited sales and marketing leadership to timely align with corporate strategy to fit the ever-changing customer needs and economic dynamics.
A structure that best suits an organization to achieve its goals. A necessity for reorganizing and restructuring could be brought about by a shift in strategy or change in leadership – thereby requiring restructuring in terms of people, processes, and strategies. The right fit at the right time is indeed a great responsibility for CEO’s who are expected to be proactive rather than reactive.
Education
Theory seems to have mostly evolved from practice and when you complete an MBA, you read for it and not study. Future centric action to drive business better stems from management accounting and that is not just a set of figures. Marketing relies more on our ability to position and reposition the proposition and align it better with customer needs and wants, as they keep changing and moving. That’s being relevant throughout.
Business schools and multi-cultural exposure through work arrangements world over gives you experience in diversity that is starkly different, as I leant from Singapore to Manila to Thailand to many other countries in East Asia. Binary codes keep haunting you no matter where or what position you hold in business and thus the roots of your programming as a teenager do not grow waste. In fact, it helps cope and understand better the emerging new economy. The multitude of professional training at various levels gives you self-confidence to overcome issues through the retained learnings and lessons.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON WHAT NEXT …..
HAVE YOUR EVER CHANGED ANYTHING ABOUT YOU THAT’S SIGNIFICANT?
IF NOT…
CHANGING OTHERS IS NOT PERHAPS FOR YOU….
CHANGE STARTS FROM WITHIN.UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GOOD AND BAD,
YOU CANNOT EMPATHIZE AND GUIDE OTHERS TO CHANGE.CHANGE IS LIKE LEARNING TO SWIM.
UNLESS YOU HAVE IMMERSED YOURSELF IN IT,
YOU WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE !
