Becoming a Tomorrow Company..Today ! Created and produced by Richard MatsumotoRichard Matsumoto
This is Part 3 of the "Are You A Tomorrow Company" series of keynote presentations I created and designed for Regional and Global CxOs (CIOs, CTOs, CFOs) of leading global companies spanning various industries. The series reflects our thoughts and insights regarding what both Japanese and western multinational companies (MNCs) need to do to thrive in the overall Asia Pacific (APAC) region in the post-"Great Recession" era.
As somebody who has been based in the APAC region for many years, I have seen it all. I have witnessed the evolving, shifting economic landscape, especially after the Asian economic crisis in '97, after which the region rebounded successfully, and has been firing on all six cylinders (In some countries, eight cylinders !) ever since. The economic dynamism of the entire region, fueled by the unprecedented meteoric rise of China and India,
will require school textbooks to be revised, and has certainly brought new meaning to the word, "unprecedented". We are witnessing the rise and emergence of a new global middle class that basically didn't exist as recent as six years ago !
Even the economic malaise from the global financial fallout which plagued other regions could not put the brakes on the APAC region's economy. In fact, the region's surprising resiliency is leading to a fundamental tectonic/paradigm shift in the way the countries in the region view their roles in the new economic order, and has forced these countries' central banks and finance ministers to rethink and revise a whole range of policies from monetary policy, currency policy, quantitative easing, sovereign debt, foreign trade, FDI strategies, etc. It's probably not too far fetched to say the world is entering (or has entered) a pivotal stage in global macroeconomic order, primarily due to the dynamic growth of the APAC region, as well as other emerging regions and countries.
What does all of this mean ? It means that we can't simply rely on the same old ideas and strategies because if anything, it's definitely NOT business as usual.
In APAC region, the economic dynamism is matched only by its incredible diversity.
Across the region, there is so much diversity in terms of culture, language, local economic growth & activity, demographics, labor conditions & wages, etc. This great diversity coupled with the economic dynamism can make managing IT operations (considered to be the crucial engine running daily business operations) throughout the region a difficult challenge & daunting task.
It's quite evident now that every global MNC wants to reap the benefits of the APAC region's economic growth, and take advantage of the opportunities and possibilities by continuing to ride the crest of this unprcedented wave. These global MNCs could leverage our group's experience, capabilities, scale, breadth & depth of our regional reach as well as local presence/coverage in the APAC region. This would allow them to concentrate & focus on seizing the growth opportunities in the region, & grow the business, whilst sleeping better at night knowing that that so-called daunting task is being managed & taken care of.
