Highlights from AIBP Malaysia Conference & Exhibition
Key Takeaways:
Policymakers need to actively engage in robust discussions surrounding governance frameworks for emerging technologies, facilitating responsible and sustainable adoption of these transformative technologies in the region.
Being agile and adapting quickly to new technologies like machine learning and AI was seen as critical. Empowering the workforce by communicating the vision, investing in upskilling, and showing the benefits for individuals was also highlighted.
Proper management of unstructured data can provide significant benefits for organisations. However, before applying data for businesses and implementing AI and machine learning solutions, companies need to have the right data foundations and sound data governance.
Cybersecurity is vital for digital transformation but is often an afterthought - this gap needs to be bridged by designing security into systems from the start to ensure it enables innovation. Collaboration between government, private sector and communities is essential to strengthen the cybersecurity ecosystem as no single entity can handle cybersecurity alone.

Key Takeaways:
Strategically deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and analytics can serve as powerful tools in mitigating risks and gaining "buy-in" from decision-makers. These technologies facilitate informed decision-making by analysing extensive datasets, offering insights that guide effective strategy formulation.
Amidst diversification in legacy organisations and as enterprises aim to consolidate and establish strategic partnerships, a common hurdle is change management. Success in change initiatives often depends on addressing emotional responses, fostering ownership, and building commitment among stakeholders.
The spotlight on how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives can drive revenue growth has been intensifying, capturing the attention of businesses, investors, consumers, and regulators alike. This surge in focus reflects a profound shift in the way we perceive the relationship between responsible practices and financial success.
According to over 600 enterprise respondents, these are the top 5 Challenges to Digital Transformation in Malaysia
… and these are the technology investments being made
A brief survey among our conference attendees revealed that 51% of Malaysian enterprises believe their organisations should allocate more than 20% of their IT budget to cybersecurity. However, at present, over 37% of these organisations allocate less than 5% of their budget to cybersecurity.
Highlights from 2023 ASEAN Advisory Board Meetings
Bridging expectations for digital transformation - Thailand
-
Enterprises know that technology works, but adoption is tied to the value end users see: solution providers need to understand the pain points of end-users (beyond IT/tech teams) in order to encourage adoption
Need to bridge technology and business, and rethink the value-add of people: enterprises are ready to co-work (and co-create) with tech providers through knowledge-sharing
A relook at technology investment costs and pricing: is there a possibility for investment-sharing (hence risk sharing) between technology provider and enterprises to ensure successes from the beginning?
Start-up solutions are novel, but sometimes need help to be able to address a real business case: enterprises are open to validate and ready them
Cybersecurity, Food Security and ESG Goals - Malaysia
-
Cybersecurity is crucial for digital transformation success as organisations become more vulnerable to cyber threats.
Investing in proactive cybersecurity measures is essential for protecting digital assets and infrastructure.
Food security is a significant issue in Malaysia, and measures need to be taken to ensure the country's food supply remains secure and sustainable.
Integrating ESG goals into business operations and decision-making processes can provide long-term benefits beyond compliance.
Standardisation of ESG metrics and regulatory guidance is necessary to ensure consistent implementation across different companies and industries.
Value Optimisation for Enterprise Innovations - Philippines
-
On deciding which digital capabilities to manage centrally to drive efficiencies, it is important to measure scalability in reducing the cost to serve, while managing time resources spent.
On increased cybersecurity risks, a centrally guided cybersecurity roadmap is crucial for conglomerates, with businesses at varying degrees of digital maturity. The discussion highlighted the importance of the minimum viable security product (MVSP), which establishes a baseline security checklist for effective cybersecurity management in the evolving digital landscape.
On enabling a hybrid work model. The shortage of skilled digital workers in the Philippines means that organisations that wish to hire these resources have to offer a hybrid work environment as table stakes. However the availability of technologies such as 3D modelling has also made previously resource intensive work such as maintaining remote sites more efficient. Several companies have also started exploring how to use generative AI to plug the gap. Philippines, with the youngest median age of 25.7 amongst the ASEAN-5, seems to be an an inflection point when it comes to the evolution of work culture
On conglomerates, business consolidation and the value it provides. Mergers and acquisitions are key tools to utilize in extracting value and the Philippines has seen its fair share of consolidation, especially within the banking industry. Discussions centred around creating effective shared services and utilizing scale for technology adoption.
Embracing Volatility, Maximising Value - Indonesia
-
As businesses adjust to a post-pandemic world, they face a rise in digital service demand. Anteraja's CEO discusses the need for operational strategy adjustments. Healthcare companies seek innovation in customer outreach. Investing in technology and digital infrastructure is crucial for resilience and competitiveness.
Market volatility demands agile adaptation from businesses. Blue Bird Group's President Director, Pak Sigit Djokosoetono, highlights the impact of fluctuating supply and demand, evolving consumer behavior, and external factors like global politics and natural disasters. To succeed, enterprises must enhance productivity, manage costs, and embrace adaptability and agility. Predicting future demand is challenging amidst volatility. In healthcare, supply chain disruptions and inflation increase costs, but technology can help improve services and reduce expenses. By optimizing internal operations, businesses can maintain control while waiting for a better environment.
Investing in technology is no longer enough for success in today's business landscape. Enterprises need transparency and collaboration with tech providers to achieve desired outcomes. Transitioning to newer technology should consider long-term financing costs. Alliances with tech giants drive efficiency and productivity. Partnering with technology providers enhances business effectiveness.

Syed Ali Ridha Madihid, Head, Digital Supply Chain, AEON Group Malaysia
In this episode, we discuss AEON's ongoing journey in the shift from traditional retail to digital and e-commerce, along with the unique factors for consideration across culturally diverse ASEAN.
AEON Group Malysia is part of the AEON Group of Companies. It is majority owned by the Japan-incorporated holding company, AEON Co., Ltd, and represents the largest revenue contributor in its overseas market. With a 10% market share in Malaysia, AEON Group Malaysia is one of the largest mall operators in Malaysia, with operations across retail, mall operations, financial services, facilities management, private brand development and supply chains.
In 2020, AEON went digital - a big move for the retailer which had remained largely a brick-and-mortar operation until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The New Retail ecosystem is envisioned to be more demand-based and more attuned to present market dynamics, customer consumption patterns and behaviours. The group targets 15% of revenue to be generated from its e-commerce business in the next five years.
