Stakeholder Primacy: Increased Emphasis on ESG

Monday, 6/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

In August 2019, the Business Roundtable in the US released the ‘Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation’, signed by 181 CEOs who committed to leading their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers, communities and shareholders. The shift of focus from shareholders to all stakeholders has prompted Boards to pay closer attention to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) measures - especially human capital management, as a critical part of the “S” in ESG.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought human capital and ESG issues to the forefront of most companies’ responses. While some companies are integrating ESG in their management and human capital systems, there is still work to do to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders.

In this session, we will discuss key ESG metrics, how they can be integrated in incentive plans, and the drivers and issues for increased human capital governance, including culture.

Innovating Through Chaos

Tuesday, 7/4/2020
1.00 am Malaysian Time

I'd like to invite you to a free innovation webinar / virtual innovation keynote I'm hosting on my birthday, April 7th. The webinar is about innovating through chaos, being recession-ready, and tactics for thriving in times of uncertainty, based on my new double-sided book: Create the Future.

In times of chaos, it is easy to get caught in the doom and gloom, and our current time is certainly not short on doom and gloom. However, your consumers' needs are evolving by the minute, and this time period is going to cause a great shakeout between companies that adapt and those who do not. I'll be sharing some battle-tested tactics from those that have navigated chaos before you to help you plan for whatever comes next.

Review Competitive Strategies using AI: A Board’s Perspective

Tuesday, 7/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

No board can fulfil its oversight duties without considering artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to transform and disrupt strategy. AI’s potential value is enormous. According to a study of 16 industries by Accenture, AI is capable of increasing profitability rates by an average of 38% and add trillions of dollars in gross value by 2035.

To reap that value, companies are starting to compete using AI by disrupting industries with new business models. They have to simultaneously raise and serve customer expectations and partner with technically advanced ecosystem partners. It is timely for directors to perform both an inward and outward evaluation - reviewing their own knowledge and their company’s activities, as well as appraising the use of AI beyond the walls of the boardroom and the company.

This webinar will help boards and directors independently evaluate and guide management in using AI to advance their company’s strategy in a responsible way, providing them with frameworks and questions to assess their understanding of AI & their company’s future AI activities.

Readiness, Response & Recovery

Wednesday, 8/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

Dealing with a pandemic like COVID-19, is uncharted territory for all of us. Coupled with uncertainty, fear and pressure to safeguard employee wellbeing and business continuity, leaders of companies are being tested beyond the ordinary as the decisions made today will determine the success or failure of their company or business.

How companies act and communicate in times of crisis will have a significant long-term impact on their reputation. Businesses need to assure their customers, business partners and suppliers, and at the same time, ensure employees are well informed of how the situation impacts them.

While the severity of this crisis and its long-term implications are still unknown, there are several steps companies and businesses can take to help improve the situation.

Leadership Today: Authentic, Open & Transparent

Thursday, 9/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

Recently, a lot has changed in a very short period of time. Will the world ever be the same? Working remotely and working from home are becoming the new normal (and this will not disappear immediately in the post-coronavirus world).

In this time of crisis, we need authentic leaders. Traditional wartime leaders, “control-freaks,” and micromanagers can't and will not be able to solve the problems we are facing today. They create more difficulties and add to the confusion. We don't need leaders who just issue specific orders and don't offer their workers a significant degree of autonomy.

Instead, we need a different kind of leader. Leaders who appreciate the value of decentralised systems and collaborative co-creation. Future leadership is about stimulating entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity. It is about designing a work environment that continuously puts things in perspective, gives workers energy, and helps them overcome the most challenging problems with great humility and empathy.

Cybersecurity Considerations Amid A Global Pandemic

Monday, 13/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

As the effects of the Coronavirus are felt around the world, the primary focus of governments and businesses is the safety of their citizens, employees, and customers. Meanwhile, cyber attackers are impersonating health organisations and other government entities in malicious email campaigns designed to invoke fear, hoping to trigger reactions that will provide them opportunities to gain access to systems and sensitive information. A carefully considered approach will enable an organisation to proactively address cyber challenges during extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this webinar, we will discuss (1) the heightened security challenges faced by organisations amidst extraordinary events, (2) activities initiated by threat actors to take advantage of the current pandemic situation and (3) steps that organisations may consider to sustain organisational cybersecurity during periods of disrupted business operations.

Managing HR for the Long Haul: Road to Recovery

Wednesday, 15/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

Some say it will take a year, others predict it will take a longer time for businesses to return to normalcy. From business models to people's strategy and the way we work and communicate, things are going to be radically different post COVID.

It is therefore vital to look beyond crisis response to recovery and post-recovery planning. Companies who are proactively looking ahead, regularly reviewing their policies and reprioritising their efforts, are those that may have a higher chance of surviving during this turbulent time.

In this webinar, we will address the 5 HR imperatives that every company should pay attention to in their future people's strategy - Workforce Management, Performance Redefined, Way of Work, Achieve More with Less and People-First Agenda.

These are moments that matter, and how you rally your team will be key.

In Times of Crisis: Stakeholders Take Centre Stage

Thursday, 16/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

We are experiencing unprecedented changes in our world. Free movement has stopped. Airports are empty. Countries are on lockdown. The coronavirus outbreak has already had an enormous impact on businesses. To use the words of the former Unilever CEO: “Companies, small and large, are at risk as the global economy has hit the pause button.”

The coronavirus crisis forces companies to reconsider their business models. Business-as-usual doesn't work anymore. There are many questions and uncertainties. What should companies do when their primary revenue streams are being impacted? What should companies do to overcome supply chain issues? In general, what's the best response to the coronavirus?

While businesses regroup and rethink their strategies, stakeholder engagement is of utmost importance: (1) Should companies pay a dividend to investors in times of crisis?, (2) How can companies take immediate and effective action to protect their workers and customers and (3)What can companies do to mitigate business risks, such as stressed supply chains?

Leading Through Crisis and Uncertainty: Harnessing Mental Health and Resilience to Navigate Storms of Change

Monday, 20/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

Having built businesses through multiple economic crises, natural disasters, restrictive and changing policies and regulations, and bouncing back from a life-threatening accident, Azran shares his experiences of harnessing resilience and curiosity to lead teams during turbulence and volatility.

Our brains perceive crises as threats to our survival. It desperately seeks familiar patterns. This leads to cognitive biases where we decide and act based on what we intuitively believe to work. Past successes can limit our ability to challenge these fixed beliefs and be open to new ideas.

Understand the differences between necessary levels of stress to perform at our peak, and how prolonged stress can lead to depression and anxiety that hinders us from being calm, curious and energetic – key crisis leadership traits. Learn practices that strengthen these traits within us, how we build a high-energy team and four practices to embed curiosity and resilience into Board meetings.

PowerTalk #10 - The Path to the Next Normal: So What Now for Leadership?

Tuesday, 21/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.30pm

As societies and businesses cope with the new normal, the priorities for leadership have changed

2020 has so far been a year of great challenge and disruption. The implications of this leadership, work and learning have been rapid and are continuing.

As the outbreak continues to move quickly, some of the perspectives and strategies may rapidly fall out of date. We are witnessing an imminent restructuring to the global economic order, where societies and businesses are having to cope with the ‘new normal’. The economic upheaval is forcing companies to view digitalisation not only as a strategically important issue, but a necessity at the present time.

The post-pandemic world will be a very different place to live in. Digitalisation has now created an even larger leadership gap in companies around the world but as we are witnessing, venturing into the unknown is now viewed as an opportunity rather than a challenge.

So how has COVID-19 changed the priorities for leadership? What are the leadership traits that we should hold on to during this transition and those that we must cultivate, as businesses pivot from a crisis management mindset to a more creative and innovative one to survive the brutal short term in order to thrive in the long run? This webinar session looks into a hybrid approach towards leadership, simplifying the qualities that combine technology and human ingenuity towards the creation of a trusted and purposeful organisation that is resilient and innovative beyond 2020. There will be no ‘return to normal’.

Turning Crisis into Opportunity: Emerging Stronger Post-Covid-19 with Prof. Dennis Campbell from Harvard Business School

Tuesday & Wednesday, 21 & 22 April 2020
9.00am – 12.00pm ( MYT)

The year 2020 began with the Covid-19 global crisis, forcing unprecedented change upon leaders to manoeuvre into a new norm within their organizations. Insurers are being challenged to review and update their crisis management plans and take steps to continue operations with minimum disruption to clients. Balancing the need for responding to this influx of activity in centres with a remote workforce has to be addressed. During a major crisis like this, insurers should start preparing for the future by accelerating the digitization of their operations and planning for business opportunities ahead by quickly embracing the new “Data Driven Culture”. Unfortunately, only 8 out of 10 companies found that business adoption of Big Data and AI initiatives remains a major challenge. How can organizations quickly learn and adopt key drivers in Digital Transformation from similar financial intermediaries such as traditional banks ?

Why should you attend ?
As the coronavirus infects the global economy to the point of virtual shutdown, daily predictions of GDP decline are getting worse by the day. Predictions that the world’s output could decline by at least 25% might be optimistic. International Labour Org, a UN agency, predicts the impact could see 195 million job losses. 

As one of the current crisis responders, the Insurance sector may face a daunting task to mitigate the impact the crisis will have on their shortterm and long-term financial outlooks.

Insurance companies play a pivotal role during times of economic stress by helping companies and households manage risks and cushion against losses. It is critical to understand the potential impacts to the business—such as those from loss of life and health-impacted insureds—to being able to manage shifting liabilities and assets, interruptions to supply chains and potential litigation. There is an opportunity to re-evaluate how technology, insight and analytics can accelerate the future growth and competitiveness of insurance institutions. To move forward will require a new perspective from most C-suites regarding priorities, deployment of resources and futureproofing the workforce.

Speaker Profile

Rising Corporate Risks of Weaponised Fake News

Wednesday, 22/4/2020
2.00pm - 3.00pm

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, fake news has caused fear, confusion, scams, and even panic buying. Corporations must appreciate the rising threats and risks of weaponised fake news to be better prepared to mitigate them.

This webinar aims to increase the awareness and understanding of the rising risks from weaponised fake news. Fake news erodes consumers’ trust, disrupts business operations and can potentially damage corporate performance. This threat can be mounted almost immediately without warning, and scaled to quickly go viral with severe offline consequences that catches most organisations off guard. We will be looking into cases of known attack vectors employed by malicious bad actors including the hijacking of conventional corporate crisis responses to manipulate public/stakeholder perception, destroying/discrediting key stakeholder reputations as well as those with intention in eroding public trust through coordinated attacks to inflict maximum business damage.

Boards must quickly understand the rise and risk of fake news as a growing threat and consider urgent investments into sufficient risk mitigation measures for a better protected and resilient organisation. We are now fighting an ‘infodemic’, as well as a pandemic.

How Intelligent Automation Maximises The Customer Experience

Thursday, April 30th 2020,
11:00 (IST) / 13:30 (SST) / 15:30 (ACST)

All insurance companies are focused on driving growth. Global research across the insurance industry has consistently shown that improving the customer experience can do far more to drive profitable growth than raising advertising spending or lowering prices.

The problem is, insurance companies often burden their workforce with repetitive and operational tasks, rather than channeling them towards more value-added, customer-focused tasks. Automating these processes can free this valuable resource and increase the pace of growth.

So how can insurance companies leverage automation to remove the barriers to growth and maximise customer experience? Find out by registering for a special webinar discussion, hosted by Wipro and AntWorks.

  • Sachiin Rai from Wipro will outline how a seamless insurance sales and service journey for customers can be achieved by leveraging robust automation (cognitive and robotic) solutions.
  • Ben Platts from AntWorks will detail how an Integrated Automation Platform, incorporating Cognitive Machine Reading (CMR), can enable insurance companies to extract complex data to drive the automation of multiple processes, from claims to underwriting.

 The webinar discussion will also focus on other subjects of concern to insurance companies, such as removing barriers to growth and achieving greater cost efficiency.
