I still hear people relate innovation solely to products. They tend to forget that it also applies to Process, Marketing, Organisation, Business Model etc. In one of my recent conversations with Professor Jean-Philippe Deschamps, IMD Business School and Dr Suraya Sulaiman, Executive Director of Alpha Catalysts Consulting (ACC) at the recent Innovating Malaysia Conference 2014, my views were concurred that innovation goes beyond products and is needed in every part of the business. According to the ACCCambridge InnovAsian Study 2014, the real perceptions of employees towards Innovation are as follows: creativity; products and services; invention, value creation, R&D/ Research/ prototyping, processes, culture, mindset, design, business model, risks, patents and external collaboration. Personally, I view innovation as a transformational approach or tool, if you like; to change the way a business is done. And to drive such transformation is no other than having the right mindset among the Board of Directors. I can’t help to applaud the belief of Professor Jean-Philippe Deschamps, Emeritus Professor of Technology & Innovation Management from IMD Business School, Lausanne, Switzerland whom we recently invited as a guest speaker in our Q3 Awareness Talk. He thinks that Boards today can and should be treated as competitive advantage for companies. The fact that Board sits “outside” of management gives it an advantage to overcome blind spot and raise awareness of risks. And Board diversity in itself offers different industry background and knowledge to foresee sudden industry shifts or disruptive moves. I couldn’t agree more. Putting on the Innovation hat in MINDA, I am proud to announce we will be launching our irst programme on Innovation as part of the Corporate Directors Advanced Programe (CDAP) Series on the 12 & 13 November 2014. And the programme faculty is none other than Dr Suraya Sulaiman and Mr Azim Pawanchik from ACC. And there are many other programmes MINDA has introduced to make our Boards continue to stay relevant. For example: The 7th Directors Forum @ 12-14 October 2014 People or Human Capital is the fundamental of an organisation’s existence. It is also the very core of an organisation’s culture, ability to innovate and be creative and uphold a sustainable business ethics. This time around, the forum will be focusing on how Board can inluence the organisations in seeking and cultivating the right characteristics to drive corporate growth and creativity. The International Directors Summit @ 27-28 October 2014 Fondly known as IDS 2014, the event will be featuring thoughtful and in-depth discussion that covers important innovation challenges facing businesses and governments today for a cutting-edge yet durable Public-Private Partnerships. Building High Performance Directors @ 16-20 August 2015 Yes. It’s correct. 16-20 August 2015. We understand the time commitment Board of Directors need to make away in advance. So, we made the effort to lock down our programme faculty so that you can plan your 2015 schedule by leaving this period SOLELY for the sake of Enhancing Board Effectiveness.

This shall be supplemented with data from the ACC-Cambridge InnovAsian Study 2014, on real perceptions of employees towards innovation and the types of innovation practised by organisations. Once a clear understanding of innovation is achieved, everyone in the organisation is able to participate in the Part 2: Innovating Innovation There are many new approaches to innovation that have currently been incorporated and ingrained within strong, forward-looking organisations globally. What used to be viewed as novel practices are now increasingly becoming mainstream or key innovation strategies for directly contributing to business growth. These practices include innovation by strategic acquisitions, Crowdsourcing, Open Innovation, and Crowdfunding, among others. Having a good grasp on what these initiatives are all about will help build the repertoire of possibilities within the minds of the strategists or innovation leaders. Part 3: Innovation Strategy leveraging on available resources. Key to setting up this innovation roadmap is having the foresight and openness, yet clarity, to identify new areas of opportunity, while recognising existing capabilities within the organisation, and balancing the risk appetite of the organisation. Part 4: Innovation Strategy 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Does your company have an innovation strategy? Why do you need to innovate? Where should you innovate? Foresight and opportunities for innovation How much risk are you willing to take? How do you want to innovate? Role of the board Part 5: Building Capacity & Culture to Innovate be sustained is imperative. Once employees are primed to churn out innovative solutions, the organisation must bringing feasible ones to fruition or commercialisation. This innovation management process involves multiple stages with key decisions being made. Part 6: Innovation Governance Demanding or overseeing innovation is increasingly becoming a common responsibility or key agenda in the Boardroom can be monitored from an arm’s length, which can be used to discuss the state of innovation in the organisation objectively and accurately. Understanding what these parameters are, and how they are essential in approaching and holistically driving innovation, are important to set the organisation for innovation success. Part 7: Leadership for Innovation In this day and age, the need for organisations to take action to always remain competitive has never been more important and challenging. The fast-evolving competitive landscape demands that leaders have the clarity and courage to drive and lead sustainable growth. Key to this, is identifying what characteristics are needed to lead organisations into the new realm. Don’t wait!

Intensifying War for Talent, globalisation, economic change, more stringent regulation, and tougher governance make realising shareholder value increasingly dificult. But, there is a tougher challenge: identifying and developing new leaders which is critical for developing the sustainable competitive advantage for the organisation and its eventual success. Talent management and retention is perennially at the top of CEO’s most pressing worries. A company’s leadership pipeline is expected to deliver its “next generation” of ready-now leaders. The key to ensuring an organisation has the leaders it needs when it needs them, is to accelerate the performance of future leaders including high potential employees, so that their skills and leadership abilities are as strong as possible when they are needed particularly as leaders transition from role to role. According to Ram Charan in his article published in the 2005 Harvard Business Review, as CEO tenure continues to shrink, with two out of every ive new CEOs failing in their irst 18 months, it has become absolutely critical for companies to cultivate internal candidates for top positions. Yet corporations are beginning to realise that executive geographic and organisation culture succession pipelines are broken and will adversely affect the ability to identify and nurture future leaders. 6 SEPT 2014 This can be alleviated however by establishing ongoing programmes that correctly ascertain the high potential executives and provide them with meaningful and measurable development. A company’s leadership pipeline is expected to deliver its “next generation” of ready-now leaders. The payoff is a supply of leadership talent that simultaneously achieves targets, bolsters and protects ethical reputation, and navigates transformational change in pursuit of a bright competitive future. Unfortunately, some Boards and CEOs neglect their talent management accountability - consequently, their pipelines run dry. When this occurs, the downward spiral of competitive capability becomes discernable, the edge is lost, and the “magic” disappears. The competition begins to outwit, outlank and outperform these companies. BOARD’S ROLE IN TALENT MANAGEMENT In most organisations, talent is the essential resource — In fact, your talent is the one thing that can distinguish you from your competitors. Without the right people to execute and deliver the organisation’s strategy and objectives at all levels, the business will fail to reach its full potential. A board’s oversight responsibility is well understood in the areas of risk governance, ethics, and corporate responsibility, but less often mentioned with regard to talent. Yet, talent is an intrinsic part of the risk culture of an organisation. Instances where talent is at the core of major organisational risk are increasingly prevalent. Talent is, however, an area of organisational risk where boards often fail to implement comprehensive controls. PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor FEATURED ARTICLES _ARTICLE ONE THE BOARD OVERSIGHT OF TALENT MANAGEMENT IN ORGANISATIONS The Talent-Intelligent Board Risk oversight is the foundation for the board and management to govern the organisation and make sound business decisions. Organisational risks include talent-related risks and are frequently identiied by organisations as some of the most critical issues they face. Oversight of an organisation’s talent clearly falls within the board’s responsibilities. Traditionally, talent had been focused on hiring the chief executive oficer, determining executive compensation, planning senior executive succession, and recruiting and developing board members. Yet the board’s responsibility for talent extends well beyond those duties. The ability to attract, develop, and retain talent, particularly at the leadership level, has become a major factor in all capital investments, business strategies, and organisational growth. As a result, it is an important consideration for boards of multinational and ownermanaged businesses alike. HOW CAN THE BOARD HELP THE ORGANISATION ATTRACT, DEVELOP, AND RETAIN TALENT? Boards play a key role in overseeing that talent strategies are in place to execute on the overall business objectives as well as manage the talentrelated risk inherent in the commercial world today. In this role, the board should conirm that its organisation has an effective and robust talent management programme capable of delivering value for shareholders. Talent is one of the ive critical governance elements over which the board provides active oversight. Executing active oversight with regard to the ive elements—performance, strategy, governance, talent, and integrity—cannot be delegated to management. Questions for Board Directors to ask: 1. What is the key talent risks associated with our core business strategies? With our major investments? 2. What is our talent bench strength? How is our organisation mitigating succession risks? 3. What plans are in place to bring about smooth succession or substitution of our key talent, if the need arises? 4. How can we strengthen our talent-related due diligence in joint venture and M&A situations of any of our holdings or subsidiary entities? Talent-related risks traditionally include lack of succession planning; planned or sudden loss of key personnel; lack of return on leadership investment or senior external hires; and failure to attract, develop, and retain talent. These risks can extend to poor talent planning to support capital investments and business strategy; for example, limited leadership bench strength reputational exposure, productivity risk, and inability to execute due to lack of workforce planning. To more effectively oversee risks related to talent, boards should periodically and proactively consider the following talent-related risks identiied in a Deloitte report : • Reputational risks: Financial missteps, ethical breaches, legal problems, or even poor performance by executives can have an impact on a company’s revenue, proits, and market value for years to come, particularly when publicly reported in the media. This is particularly important because decisions are often made by one or more key individuals in an organisation. • Crisis management: “Black swan” events— low-probability events that have far-reaching impact—are increasingly common. Does senior management have a detailed crisis management plan that governs how the organisation addresses these issues? Risks include changes in economic and market trends, the sudden departure of business-critical talent, poaching of whole teams by external sources, and health and safety incidents. • Business and regulatory risks: Boards should satisfy themselves that their talent strategies, compensation, and incentive plans are aligned to create a culture that supports the pursuit of business goals within regulatory constraints. • Broader HR risks: HR risks have expanded beyond compliance with labor regulations. While those remain important, companies now face a broad range of talent-related risks that can undermine organisational performance. These range from security, intellectual property, employee fraud, and inancial risks to the risks of incompetence, poor judgment, and lack of loyalty. MALAYSIAN DIRECTORS ACADEMY 7 PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor FEATURED ARTICLES _ARTICLE ONE IMPROVING BOARD OVERSIGHT OF TALENT-RELATED RISKS Improving the oversight of talent risk begins with understanding those risks and management’s approach to addressing them. Here are ive key steps for boards to consider in their talent oversight role: • Review talent-related risks: Many boards have adopted a twice-a-year talent review in which the chief human resources oficer (CHRO) summarises the external talent trends, and workforce and talent strategy for the business, including a comprehensive review of talent, HR risks and the associated mitigation strategies. • Develop measurable outcomes: It is also wise to request a benchmark analysis that covers employee engagement, top performer and executive attrition, and other factors related to talent retention at the senior levels and for other critical positions. This can be accomplished by leveraging industry or HR data and/or using historical organisational data as comparisons. • Assign the responsibility: More and more boards designate a director and/or members of the remuneration committee to address talentrelated issues and risks (often a former or current CHRO), and ask for frequent “in camera” sessions with the board on talent-related risks. The head of HR could report to both the CEO and the board. For the board, this designated director can help raise awareness of talent issues; moreover, this individual has the appropriate background to question management and inform the board about talent-related risks and how management is addressing them. • Monitor the talent pipeline: Talent supply and demand data should be reviewed as part of capital investments and business strategy reviews at least annually, and ideally more frequently. In addition, the need to develop new products, enter new markets, or combat new competitors will dictate the demand for speciic experience and skills. The board should ascertain that management and the HR team have plans in place to meet that demand. • Align the talent and business strategy: In reviews of strategy, the board should ask management how it aligns the talent strategy with the business strategy. Forward-looking talent strategies maintain this alignment while helping target investments in talent development for optimal eficiency and effectiveness. The board should also be aware of talent issues related to any initiative that comes up for its review or approval. 8 SEPT 2014 For example, in merger and acquisition (M&A) situations, talent due diligence is often neglected and talent the organisation intended to acquire on Day 1 may be lost. CONCLUSION In general, sound talent management strategies and programs can greatly reduce risk, improve sustainable performance, and improve the organisation’s ability to attract external talent. Board oversight into this process can not only provide experienced insight, but help to identify and reduce the risks and take talent management to the next level.

The focus of regulation and academic literature on the problems of principal-agent conlicts has led to boards being regarded by some as adversaries of management as opposed to their partners and sounding boards. Finally, because so much of the discussion is seen through the eyes of lawyers and auditors, the ethical dimension is often missing. That is a pity, since sustainable businesses always have an ethical foundation. WHAT ABOUT UNLISTED ORGANISATIONS? Public listed organisations are not the only form of human enterprise. SMEs are recognised as the engines of economic growth for countries and millions of people around the world are employed by NGOs, charities and mutual. In Malaysia there are also the many companies owned by the Ministry of Finance, which are not listed. How much value is created and destroyed in these organisations? How much more value could we create if we had the right governance focus in such organisations – a focus designed to help them choose the right strategies and execute them well? I believe we focus on listed companies because the primary agenda of regulators is to protect public investors by ensuring fairness and transparency looking at what to do with the money once it has been made. There are two reasons for this. First, the principal-agent conlict which has been at its most extreme in the US, where CEOs get paid huge sums regardless of how well they reward shareholders and where business schools teach that managers cannot be trusted to look after shareholders’ interests. Second, regulators and auditors focus on reported results, recognising they are not qualiied to advise on the choice of strategy or its implementation. Yet, as I have argued in previous articles, 60% of shareholder value destruction is the result of choosing the wrong strategy; 27% through poor implementation; and only 13% through failures of compliance. It is a sobering thought that Sarbanes-Oxley has not prevented a single collapse of a public listed entity when that was what it was designed to do. The right choice of strategy and ensuring its effective implementation is an issue for every organisation, regardless of whether it is listed or not. WHY MUST DIRECTORS BE TURNED INTO POTENTIAL ADVERSARIES? The tone of some of the language of CG portrays the role of non-executive directors as potential adversaries of CEOs. Maybe this is the result of the principal-agent theory and of past failures of boards to check CEOs from destroying great companies. Such tonality seems to me to miss the point that boards and their CEOs are in fact in the same boat, sharing the same objective – the sustainable success of the organisation. MALAYSIAN DIRECTORS ACADEMY 9 PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor FEATURED ARTICLES _ARTICLE TWO The failure of the CEO is the failure of the board. It is the failure of the board because boards are required to hire the right person for the job in the irst place. They are then required to help the CEO through the provision of independent thought and challenge, designed to ensure the business case is as robust as possible. The purpose of challenge is not to second guess management or undermine the CEO, though that is often how it is interpreted, but to protect the CEO and the top management team from the consequences of strategic myopia, groupthink and human fallibility. If boards do not have the “courage to speak truth to power”, how can we expect people reporting to the CEO to have it? The inal failure of the board comes when there is no adequate succession plan. Yet choosing a sustainable strategy (the key role of good governance) requires the board to ensure that the business purpose is ethical. It is one of the lessons of the global inancial crisis that western banks got into trouble because they abandoned their moral and socially valuable business purpose in the pursuit of unethical proits, achieved through sub-prime, misselling, and market ixing. If organisations are known to be unethical, they ultimately lose their “licence to operate” and one of the key tasks of good governance is to maximise the long-term “licence to operate”. Toyota’s quality problems and currently those of GM in the US were caused by putting market share and proits ahead of ethics. Boards must remember the reputation damage caused by unethical behaviour is long-term and expensive to remedy. In short, directors are there to protect CEOs from their own fallibility and mortality. When their role is seen in this light, there is no reason, other than vanity and ego, for CEOs to see their directors as adversaries who need to be controlled through the provision of inadequate or asymmetrical information. CONCLUSION The importance of good governance is clear once we remember it covers unlisted entities as well as listed ones; that boards are not adversaries but share the same objectives as management; and that there must be an ethical foundation to achieve long-term business success.

Lawyers focus on due process and auditors report what has happened. The unintended consequence is an excessive regard for box-ticking when it comes to CG reporting – for observing the letter of the law rather than its spirit. The law is not about ethics, nor are audits.

This journey requires that we set the scene with a few general deinitions and hints as to the subject matter that will come under scrutiny during this series. Technology, speciically information and communications technology (ICT), is one of the core mechanisms that organisations utilise to meet and sustain their strategic objectives. The assets that comprise the organisation’s ICT universe include hardware, software, architecture, intellectual property, skills, vendor and service provider management (including cloud(1)), market awareness, customer management, culture to name a few. Just having these available on the balance sheet, as processes or as ‘ways of working’ is not suficient – they must be made to work in harmony to provide measurable beneit(2) to the organisation. ASSETS INTRODUCTION PRISM, Accumulo, NSA, surveillance, privacy and intrusion – recent events make these dificult to ignore. Should we be concerned about the types of events brought about by Ellsberg, Woodward, Manning, Snowden and countless others in an article aimed at risk professionals? – only in as much as we recognise that risk is everywhere. The often-quoted ‘eternal vigilance is the price of freedom’ (Wendell Phillips, 1852 and attributed to many others thereafter) provides a good segue into the basic theme of this set of articles – governance, risk and compliance (GRC) – by way of recognising that freedom for organisations to meet their objectives must be balanced by the appropriate accountabilities, responsibilities and actions. While we might be tempted into a discussion on ethics, morality, liberty, public interest and whistleblowing – these remind us what the difference between management and governance is. Whether this is at country level or within a small department the distinction is the same – management is typically about ‘running the business’ while governance is about ‘ensuring that the right things are done’. This is where we leave PRISM behind. The assets outlined above must be fully and effectively utilised by organisations in order to deliver their strategies – in order to do these we recognise 3 core GRC capabilities: • Protection of assets • Compliance • Consistent service provision Protection of assets is a broad term that includes all assets (see list above) – we recognise that each of these assets has associated use, ownership/ stewardship, operation, involvement, inluence, and adoption across the organisation all leading to a complex web of interactions and requirements for governance. One particular challenge we have on the ICT asset front is that the pace of change is accelerated and any down/up-side impact can therefore occur with increasing uncertain frequency and magnitude. Compliance includes the adherence to rules, designs, regulations and standards as well as includes the acknowledgement of both static (decision rights, structures and authority remit) and dynamic (proper and timely execution of decisions, policies, standards, performance measurement and BRR) sides of governance. MALAYSIAN DIRECTORS ACADEMY 11 PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor FEATURED ARTICLES _ARTICLE THREE Consistent service provision is the concept of delivery that includes timing, channels, metrics, audience, improvement and recognising that … These 3 capabilities are linked through a backbone of standards which is also an umbrella term that includes regulation, legislation, internal organisational standards, policies, principles, guidelines and standard operating procedures. Central to GRC is the requirement to mitigate risk, deliver strategic objectives and provide beneit over this series of articles we will be exploring how these can be made to work together to drive the correct organisational behaviours and sustain the organisation’s strategy. The ‘GRC Overview’ diagram provides the overall structure that we’ll be following to show this approach. To close this irst article on GRC we’ll highlight some risk challenges both within the ICT and business sides of organisations that must be addressed to support our approach: • Risk-aware culture must be established in the organisation – all stakeholders must understand the IT risks that affect them • Measurement and reporting of the effectiveness and eficiency of IT risk management must become business-as-usual • Risk strategies and architectures must extend beyond near-term regulatory situations • Well-deined IT risk management processes have been implemented Footnotes: (1) Cloud computing - an umbrella term for everything from web-based email to business software that is run remotely via the internet instead of only on-site to reduce costs and add lexibility to IT divisions. (2) Measurable beneit is the preferred metric rather than proit as not all organisations are driven by proit – e.g. NGOs, cooperatives etc. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alan Simmond has over 29 years of practical experience in governance (technology, corporate and contract) and strategy across a broad spectrum of industry and commerce resulting in a proven capability of helping IT GOVERNANCE Information technology governance is both a necessary and formal partner in this journey and we’ll be exploring how frameworks such as COBIT® can be used to provide the support necessary to integrate many of the concepts and constructs mentioned in this article. RISK MANAGEMENT The 3 capabilities outlined above will all contribute to risk management – as we’ll see the use of frameworks is necessary – indeed the ISO31000 will provide us many opportunities to exercise the direction, control and necessary discipline to help embed effective GRC in the organisation. Often however the beneits of risk management are ‘sold’ using threats rather than focussing on risk itself - this leads to a reactive and tactical approach – which is the exact problem we’re trying to avoid through proper, informed and established GRC. 12 SEPT 2014 organisations meet their regulatory and legislative obligations.

It is occurring all over the world—in the U.S., in the EU and the recent French presidential elections, and throughout nations in Asia and the Paciic Rim. But it is apparent that the ultimate solution is neither total reliance on government nor the private sector, but rather, a third-way path—a public-private partnership to bring prosperity and economic progress to the average citizen. That is the model that, in the last several years, Malaysian Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak has followed to implement his Economic Transformation Program (ETP) and Government Transformation Programme. When he began the ETP in 2011, he established speciic goals to be achieved by the year 2020—to transform Malaysia into a higher development nation with a per-capital income of at least RM15,000 and to attract and channel RM444 billion in most private investments to break Malaysia out of the “middle-income” trap and economic stagnation that it had experienced in recent years. Consistent with the “third way” mixture of government and private market leadership, he turned to one of his ministers, Dato’ Sri Idris Jalal, a former successful chief executive of Malaysia Airlines, to lead the ETP. Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib and Dato’ Sri Jala have committed to reduce the country’s chronic budget deicits over ive-to-seven years, streamline government to make it more conducive to private sector investment and job creation. And they already have made considerable progress. For example, the ETP has moved to cut by half 761 varieties of licenses that under the current system are required for most business start-ups to acquire. And under Dato’ Sri Najib and Dato Sri Jala’s leadership, the government has reduced the state’s large role in the economy by divesting stakes in 33 companies. On a variety of social progress fronts, Dato’ Sri Najib’s government has moved aggressively to improve the quality of life of the average Malaysian. In 2010 and 2011 participants in the GTP conducted “laboratory sessions” to establish speciic, achievable social goals in six areas: raising public living standards; improving education outcomes; reducing crime; advancing the ight against government corruption; enhancing urban public transportation; and improving rural basic infrastructure. 14 SEPT 2014 PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor FEATURED ARTICLES _ARTICLE Results have been apparent and measurable. By the end of 2011, Malaysia witnessed a 35% reduction in street crime in high-crime neighbourhoods and built over 35,000 low-cost housing units. The government created anti-corruption courts to adjudicate corruption cases within 12 months and passed a strong whistle-blower law to protect the courageous individuals who come forward to report and identify corrupt practices and public oficials. Further measures were enacted to strengthen private-sector competitiveness, including a new law that levels the playing ield for businesses and guards against anti-competitive practices. And the movement to reduce government ownership and to divest functions to the private sector, where eficiencies and jobs can be allowed to lourish, continued. The oil, gas and energy sector realised signiicant incentives for exploration of marginal oil and gas ields. By the end of 2011, Malaysia had moved ahead of advanced economies of Germany, Japan and Switzerland on the World Bank’s 2012 “Doing Business Report”—and had achieved the highest Gross Domestic Product in its history. But Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib knows that serious challenges remain, especially in the implementation of reform through his two-year-old Government Transformation Program (GTP), and that there is a way to go to guarantee all citizens equal civil rights, the right of political assembly and free speech, and guarantees of equal economic opportunities and justice for all. FOUR the New Economic Model that would permit needbased preferences, not ethnic-based preferences. Unlike most politicians who forget their campaign promises, Dato’ Sri Najib has asked to be judged and held accountable for the progress he has, or has not, made. Over the past year, I have served as a member of Malaysia’s International Review Panel created to review the results of both the Government Transformation Programme and Economic Transformation Programme, and I have seen irsthand that real progress is being made. In other words, Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib wanted a report card—and better yet, he wanted everyone to see it. And they will. Ultimately, he is prepared to be judged by the ultimate arbiters of success or failure in a democracy: the voters of his country. The third pathway of progressive government in partnership with a vibrant private sector has been powering Malaysia towards its goals and helping to create a better life for its citizens. Whatever the results of the next election, the Malaysian model is already an enduring legacy of Dato’ Sri Najib’s government. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Michael J.
