APAC is a dynamic and exciting region, and these are the leaders who are harnessing the full potential and promise by taming technology through:
1. Taking the lead and ownership for their “own” success
2. Leveraging their experience and expertise within an agent-based framework
3. Choosing the right solution partner(s) with whom to work
Leadership isn’t about a title or position; it is a way of thinking and doing, and these APAC professionals are the 20% who will succeed.
I am excited to introduce them to my Community.

APAC is a fascinating region and very diverse in cultures and attitudes. Corruption is a serious problem in several nations, whilst Singapore is one of the least corrupt nations in the world. In some places procurement people can face threats of physical violence if they fail to award contracts to a local businessman. Some economies are low cost manufacturers in which quality assurance can be a major problem, whilst Singapore is a high quality service and value added nation. Others, like Malaysia, are more mixed. In many nations, QA can be problematic and great attention is needed to supply chain management. Western businesses buying from the region need to be aware of different attitudes to CSR in many parts/nations and the reputational risks of not selecting and managing suppliers effectively.
