Getting Malaysian Students Ready to Innovate at a Global Level
In conjunction with Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009, Alpha Catalyst Consulting (ACC), a Malaysian based innovation consulting company shall be co-hosting Stanford's Global Innovation Tournament in Malaysia together with Warisan Global Sdn. Bhd., the country host for Global Entrepreneurship Week in Malaysia. The main sponsor for this event in Malaysia is Bank Rakyat.
Last year, for Global Entrepreneurship Week 2008, ACC’s focus was to encourage the youth to embrace innovation. We provided scholarships to Generation Y executives and entrepreneurs for our workshop; I-workshop: Being an Innovation Catalyst at one of KL’s top boutique hotels. In an effort to mould the emerging minds towards innovation, we also held a talk at Petronas Galeri on the Parent’s Role to Encourage Creativity and Innovation among their children. Other activities included the launch of the Malaysian Innovation Climate Survey 2008 and various talks on innovation and the innovative mindset to university students and youth.
This year, we are expanding our reach and scope. We want to involve the youth, corporate sector as well as parents. Our company shall be hosting Stanford University’s Global Innovation Tournament. This lasts for 8 days during which the participants are to produce a 3 minute video on a solution to a global problem. The problem is released globally on the web, on the 4th of November '09. Prior to this, we will be sharing with the students a framework on how to approach innovation and rapid prototyping; and the mindset needed to spur creative thinking. We hope that this will help them churn out more solid ideas during the tournament.
Apart from co-hosting GIT, we are also going on the road to conduct a series of talks on the Innovation Climate in Malaysia based on our Innovation Climate Survey done this year. We hope to inspire people to embrace innovation and be ready to lead Malaysia into the innovation economy.
Lastly, during the week, we are planning to launch our book which will contain findings from the Malaysian Innovation Climate Survey and organize talks about the need for another type of Climate Change; an organizational climate that is more conducive for innovation.
