9.15AM - 10.00AM Integrated talent management – moving from aspiration to reality
There is much research pointing to why talent management is one of the top business and risk areas in global organisations. We only need to look at what is happening in our own backyard to see this pointed reality. While the challenges are multi-faceted and complex, the plethora of intelligence and viewpoints on how to tackle this perennial issue are ever increasing. Are we able to see the wood from the trees? Do we continue to look outward to external intelligence or are we better off relying on our own intuition and analysis of the situation as we perceive it? In our quest to turn into reality, the goals we aspire to, what are the primary concerns we grapple with today and how best should we approach them?

Adjunct Professor Khaeruddin Sudharmin, Managing Director and Chief Executive Motordata Research Consortium (MRC) and Group Company Secretary, HeiTech Padu Berhad
Having been member of the Board and Chief Executive of MRC for the last twelve years, Khaeruddin is well poised to tackle these issues, having been in the driving seat for the strategic direction and the execution of corporate vision, profit responsibility, market development, growth, learning and development and sustainability for his organisation. Simultaneously holding the Chief Administrative Officer role at HeiTech Padu for the last fifteen years has further enabled him to have deeper insight into his role as a leader.
