Digital Transformation Leadership

EGN Malaysia/Digital Transformation Leadership

Cultivate a network that is built on mutual professional aspirations and personal ventures with other senior executives.

This confidential peer group brings together business executives that lead digital transformation in their organisations. These senior executives collectively discuss transformation strategy, best practices, people, and technology issues, and get advice from peers as a sounding board on their specific challenges.

Digital Transformation leaders have an incredibly difficult challenge in moving their organisations forward in the digital age. Our members come from large global MNCs as well as from home grown Asia focused medium-sized companies. We encourage diversity and so you will find members coming from a wide range of industries including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare and life sciences, technology, and professional services to name a few.

As there is no standard roadmap for excellence in digital transformation, this is purpose-built peer group that brings together the right people who can support each other to discover excellence together.

The current key topics that are being explored during our meetings, and we regularly seek our members’ input to flex and change these as situations change:

Emerging Technology: Web 3.0- Blockchain, Crypto, NFT, & DeFi
Start-Up and Venture & Entrepreneurship
The Future of Work
Change and Transformation Leadership
Digital Talent of the Future
The intersection of Digital, Sustainability and Climate Change
Intersection of Sustainability and Digital
The Triple Bottom Line: The Intersection of People, Profit and Planet
Transformation and Transition into a Digital / Technology Company
Ecosystem and Strategic Partnerships
DC Journey and Learnings: Why, How and What & Cultural Transformation
Emerging Technology: 5G, IoT, AI 
Metaverse

From strategy development to effective execution, this is a peer group that will exchange ideas to identify the best practices for tomorrow.
The members in this group include the Chief Executive Officer Malaysia & Indonesia at Crayon, Senior Director - APAC Firmware at Western Digital, Head of Tech Cloud Engineering Hub, APAC at Oracle, Country Partner Specialist, Sustainability Software – Global Ecosystem Sales at IBM, Head of Transformation & Strategic Alliances – Asia at Tech Mahindra, Head of Technology at Gran Tigris and many more.
