Growth Leadership Roundtable to Help CEOs Identify Future Success
June 24, 2019 | Frost & SullivanEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Frost & Sullivan, a growth consulting firm, is launching the Growth Leadership Roundtable in Malaysia to provide a platform for business leaders and C-Suite executives to engage in interactive discussions with industry experts and uncover the latest opportunities and challenges impacting future business growth.
“As we prepare for a future of disruption and transformational growth, access to the Growth Leadership Roundtables provides the opportunity to navigate economic changes and identify the innovative technologies, Mega Trends, new business models, and companies to action that will result in a continuous flow of opportunities to help companies accelerate growth,” said Hazmi Yusof, Managing Director, Malaysia at Frost & Sullivan.
The launch will be held at Frost & Sullivan’s inaugural event on 26th June at Hilton, Kuala Lumpur, where a panel of C-level executives will showcase how their organisations are innovating for the future, followed by a discussion on industry convergences and business models, as well as collaborations that drive growth. The audience will consist of a small, selected group of C-suite individuals across various industries. Participants include:
- Hazmi Yusof, Managing Director, Malaysia, & Senior Vice President, Frost & Sullivan
- Shivaji Das, Partner and Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Frost & Sullivan
- Dr. Claus Weidner, President & CEO, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia
- Yin Boll, Head of Scientific Engagement, Asia, Philip Morris International
- Thirupathi Rao, Head, Climate Change, ESP, Group HSSE, Petronas
“We witness new business model concepts impacting the industries, such as everything-as-a-service, platform-based, personalization. However, these have had limited impact in fomenting greater competition as established major market players counter using organic and inorganic strategies,” said Shivaji Das, Partner and Managing Director, Asia-Pacific at Frost & Sullivan. “The true benefit of new business models will therefore only be realized if regulators are able to discourage market concentration while encouraging innovation.”
Discuss and brainstorm business models that would enable the Innovate to Zero concept with exclusive presentations and interactive panels. Topics to be discussed include Trends, Technology, and Business Models: The Mega Vision of a Zero Concept World, Innovating to Zero Emissions, Innovating to Zero Smoke, Innovating to Zero Carbon, and a panel discussion, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Innovate to Zero.
Frost & Sullivan’s Growth Leadership Roundtables sessions represent important expert-driven events that highlight the significant findings from our ongoing thought leadership into future growth opportunities and cutting-edge technological innovations.

Better Sustainability Policies for Electronics
10/29/2025 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationI joined the Global Electronics Association in August 2025 as the director of sustainability policy. Since then, much has happened in terms of geopolitics and in the development and re-envisioning of sustainability policies in the industry. While the European Commission has released several legislative packages to simplify sustainability requirements (“omnibus”), these developments haven’t yet settled and are not in effect. Given the many recent and ongoing public consultations, with often conflicting input from a broad range of stakeholders, final negotiations remain rather polarized among policymakers.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.

Ziglar delivers this book in his typical fashion, with the punch of hard-earned wisdom, a bit of humor, and a lot of common sense.
