Reading Tom Peter’s book on the circle of innovation and he makes a lot of good points and gives plenty of good career advice. There’s no more loyalty and lifelong servitude to the huge conglomerates. It’s everyone and their own self-development, the ability to adapt and regain new skills, and the ability to create worth to the company and to ownself. It is both selfish and survival.
Anyway, when I let the point sink in, the concern is how the engineering and technical workforce are going to adapt. The white-collars themselves are too firmly entrenched, let alone the blue-collar labourers. What the country needs is a transformation, a point of focus, an innovation-led perspective on value creation and the independence and liberation to move forward at our own initiative, at a pace and speed not seen before. Let go of the deep-seated resentment felt at the favouritism towards the private sector shown throughout the Mahathir years, but to move forward there needs to be a close working model for development and forward moving.
