Organised by the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu), the forum is touted as the world’s only platform to share and discuss transformative actions and experiences at three distinct levels: governments, businesses and individuals.
Themed “Driving Transformation”, the forum will also feature other notable speakers, including Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson, entrepreneur and author of “The Pursuit of Happyness” Chris Gardner, and winner of 13 Formula One Grand Prix races, David Coulthard.
The past instalment of the forum in 2015 featured speakers such as actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, former prime minister of New Zealand Helen Clark, six-time winner of FIFA’s “Best Referee of the Year” Pierluigi Collina, and Starbucks co-founder Zev Siegl, and attracted over 3,000 delegates from 76 countries.
Pemandu Chief Executive Officer Idris Jala said the increasingly borderless world demanded that change be effected to transform lives, societies, economies, and even in the pursuit of “happyness”.
“The components of transformation include an ever-increasing array of disciplines – from target-setting and hitting these targeted marks to the endless possibilities of innovation afforded by the sheer will to transform and succeed.
“These secrets will be shared by our guest speakers who have ‘been there and done that’,” he said in a statement today.
