With Asia on the course of economic recovery following over two years of volatility arising from multiple crises seemingly contriving to pose unrelenting challenges on economies, businesses and societies in general, have business leaders sufficiently transformed their organisations to lead and thrive in the new normal?  

With us on this episode of PodChats for FutureCIO is Frost & Sullivan partner and managing director for Asia Pacific, Shivaji Das, to share with us his perspective on what a masterplan for post-digitalisation will look like in 2023.

1.       If we look from before the pandemic, and throughout the period of extended uncertainties, how have the roles of executive leaders evolved?

2.       As economies begin the road to recovery, we anticipate a natural acceleration of growth among businesses in Asia. Do you see digitalization as accelerating or decelerating in the years ahead?

3.       What factors would have the most influence on reshaping leadership priorities in the years ahead?

4.       At the C-Engage Convention, you spoke about a gap between investments by companies around data management and protection, and less than the satisfaction that leadership are reporting following these investments. Any suggestion on how to narrow this gap?

5.       You also mentioned that organisations are not expecting to return to pre-pandemic ways of working. What do you anticipate the workplace will look like in the coming years? 

a.       What should leaders do to maximise the benefits to everyone of this new workstyle?

6.       You also observed that the post-pandemic hybrid operating model is bringing new risks. How can leadership better manage these evolving risks?

7.       Finally, you spoke about distributed trust and how it shifts relationships between consumers and organisations. Can you offer some recommendations on how to tap this distributed trust?
