Transformation Starts in the Mirror
This is a nice piece of personal reflection I came across from Twitter posts, about the "Power of One" i.e. changing one's own mindset to contribute towards the greater good (Transformation Starts in the Mirror).
Transformation is never a smooth journey. It starts with a realization that it takes only one ... to start and make that change. Enjoy reading this article.

Phase 1 Interventiopn Programme Completed
We originally have 18 session to cover all participant from the group but after 16 session everyone already attended. The last 2 session was redesign for staff's children and power presentation skills for transformation agent.
We are hoping that there will be a considerable changes in the staff's acceptance towards the transformation. It is very hard to measure the improvement but nevertheless we hope the session is of a great value to everyone.
There is a phase 2 session in the Mindset & Culture intervention programme but no final decision has been made by the company.
This blog will continue to be updated with tranformation related information. Do come often, leave you comment and suggestion.

Mushroom
A few companies are producing various mushroom for local and export market. The process had been transformed from labour intensive to technology intensive. This is to ensure consistent quality of the products.
But a few interesting thing that I found:
1) They have started the industries 30 years ago
2) 90% of the product is being sold locally (only 10% is being exported)
They have created a vast market internally. Mushroom have become a favorite source of nutrition and it has been supported by hotels and restaurants which have come up various dishes based on mushroom.
What mushroom has anything to do with our transformation?
Ehmmm.... opinoin anybody?

Do the ride things!
When I reached the island's jetty, I realised there were some improvement compared to my visit a few years ago. More hotel and chalet. More stores and other related facilities. Glad to see such improvement but really disappointed by the rise of hotel price during the festive season. According to a local, the dorm like room for 9 people usually cost RM250 a night but I got it for RM450 last weekend.
But it was fun. Dining at a seashore stall on the sandy beach with a group of friends was memorable. Riding in the sun and in the rain and talking nonsense just for the fun of it.
It's a very nice get away! I don't expect all of you to understand but I do hope you can enjoy a little bit of you life.

Do what you like..........
During the introduction session, we had to get up and tell a little bit about ourselves. Thing that grab me hard was about our chosen profession.
Some said that this is not really what they like to do, some said that their parent was happy when they graduated in the course that their parent choosed for them.
When I took Diploma in QS 25 years ago, I was in the same situation but not because my parent choosed for me, but because I did not know enough what I was getting into.
I survive for 10 years but when I joined KLCC I was asked to choose between Project QS and ICMS System Administrator. It did not take me even 10 minutes to think. I choosed the later.
I enjoy my work ever since but with no less worries or concern about what is going to happened. A paper certificate in QS but a working experiences in IT...... ehmmmmmm.... which will do me more good in the real world?
To those in the above situation, I do not have a clue what you should do but one thing I am very sure, you will have to do something about it.
......It's either you do what you like or you like what you do! ...............
Government Transformation Programme (GTP)
GTP Open Day receives thumbs-up from visitiors
PETALING JAYA Dec 17 — The Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Open Day here has been well received by visitors.National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Lok Yim Pheng said the open day offered a great opportunity for the public to understand the government’s projects and ideas.
“This is a good channel for the public to truly understand what the government is doing and voice out their opinions at the same time,” she said.
The open day, which started yesterday, ends at 5.30 pm today.
She added that the open day provided a “two-way traffic” for both government and the people, especially for the grassroots to know the implementation of projects done by the government.

Malaysia is an establish exporter of a finished product
For thousands of years, Ganoderma Lucidum (the Red Mushroom), a kind of medicinal fungi, has been highly regarded by the Chinese as the "Miraculous King of Herbs." Ganoderma is said to be able to improve the body's healing ability, maintain a healthy body and promote longevity. Under the attentive research done by domestic and foreign scholars in recent years, as well as the cooperative analysis and clinical experiments done by hospitals, colleges and pharmaceutical manufacturers, Ganoderma has shown to have the ability to help and strengthen the body function more effectively and efficiently.
ps//
Well, do you know that a Malaysian company is now exporting a range of products base on this herbs to the America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and West Africa? The herbs are cultured and the final product are processed by the company in Kedah.
So, we are pretty good aren't we? If other company managed to become a world class health products manufacturer why can't KLCC become a world class project manager............

Clear Sky, Soft Winds.......
The weather has been good lately. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and clear. The wind is blowing softly. How is the weather affecting us?
Ehmmmm.... I feel comfortable. I do not have to worry about getting wet. The clothes are drying quickly. Less traffic jam in KL (I think). But that is small talks... right.
Good weather usually give us a chance to fell good, think good, do good things. Do you agree with me? Well, I certainly feel that way..... if you don't.... no problem... you are not me..... but don't you think we ought to fell good, think good and do good things, regardless of the whether?

Position Description
We use to have a Job Description which I am sure most of you had been filling it for more than once. I don't know if they are the same..... Position Description and Job Description..... but we have to fill it up again.
But one thing that I realise though....... Position Description is more general or rather....... belongs to the position not the personnel....... that is a description for an Executive or Senior Executive or Manager or etc..... in the company in general not a job scope for Encik Abdullah whom is an Executive at the Park & Landscape Department in Putrajaya @ PJC.
Phew..... get what I mean? ........eehhhrrrrrrrrr........... I don't blame you. I am pretty confuse myself..... heeeeeeee.............

How stuff works?
People says, knowledge is power. Yeah... yeah.. yeah. When we keep on doing the same thing over and over again, we become expert in doing it but at the same time, the repeated process (and the same knowledge received repeatedly) become our boredom. So, if you are an estimator, doing estimate everyday (because that is what you do for a living) can bored you, if you are a project manager, managing projects for years (even though it's a different project every 2 to 3 years) make you boring too.
So, due to this facts, we tend to find other things to do beside our daily routine. This is where hobbies come in. But to most of us, hobby can only be one or two because most hobbies require certain amount of financial investment. But most of the time, one or two hobby would be sufficient to give colors to our live.
But to those whom are hungry for more knowledge or information (not just the knowledge from the 2 or 3 hobbies), the internet is a good place to start. One of the place I found very interesting is here :

Innovation - A clean cruise
The answer to the problem of pollution-spewing vehicles is a bike that runs on human muscles.
IT’s been called a transport revolution. A bolt of lightning on wheels, it is one of the quickest forms of inner city transport on the planet. Best of all, it is environment-friendly. Meet the eROCKIT, poster child of green mobility.
Basically a motorcycle that you have to pedal like a bicycle to move, the eROCKIT is initially difficult to wrap your mind around. Like the Superman dictum of “Is it a bird? Is it a plane?”, the nifty two-wheeler is neither bicycle nor motorcycle. Instead, its ingenious inventor has come up with its own category: the human-hybrid motorcycle.
That’s because you need human muscles to power (through pedalling) the electric motor. The motor multiplies your muscle power by a factor of up to 50, allowing you to accelerate astonishingly quickly – comparable, in fact to motorcycles. The faster you pedal, the stronger the motor rotates and you can reach speeds of 80kph – that’s how fast a 250cc conventional motorcycle goes. If you stop pedalling, the vehicle will come to a stop.
Mean machine: ‘I came up with an idea of a bicycle that can overtake cars,’ says eROCKIT creator Stefan Gulas (left).
That car manufacturers are heading in the wrong direction, is one reason behind this invention, says eROCKIT’s creator, 39-year-old Stefan Gulas. “Over the years, they haven’t thought about what the driver needs. Everything’s computerised and they keep making cars faster, but it’s not about that. People want to feel they are an active part of the driving.”
There is more to it, though, and a hint of it is in the twinkling eyes and the big laugh of this tall, loose-limbed Austrian. “There’s a pyramid of transport on roads in terms of power,” says Gulas. “The cars are at the top, and bicycles at the bottom. But morally, in terms of the environment, bicycles are at the top. It’s unfair. So I decided to bring something to the market that overturns the pyramid, and came up with an idea of a bicycle that can overtake cars.”
It was with glee that the BBC, for instance, showed the eROCKIT nonchalantly overtaking a Porsche using pedal power, a laugh-out-loud sight.
Many also long to lower their carbon footprint, hence Gulas’ loving attention to the eco-friendliness of his “personal contribution to fighting global warming”.
The eROCKIT uses no petrol. Therefore it has no carbon dioxide emissions. It is also surprisingly silent and you can use either a horn or a bicycle bell to warn people you are coming. The high quality lithium-ion nanophosphate batteries claim to last approximately 50,000km or 10 years, and a battery management system maximises their life cycle. Batteries are recharged when you pedal and brake. When stationary, the bike can be plugged into a normal socket and get fully charged in three to four hours. Battery disposal comes as part of the price you pay for the vehicle.
With a background that includes automobile obsession, rabid environmentalism, mining engineering and multinational management consultancy, Gulas has worked out that the human-hybrid concept is what will make the eROCKIT attractive to greenies as well. “The biggest hurdle for electric vehicles is they’re very boring. Here, you’re not just adding a motor to a bicycle, you’re involving the human in the propulsion.”
Because it handles like a basic bicycle, the bike is also more manoeuvrable than a motorcycle. Anyone who can ride a bicycle will be able to ride an eROCKIT, bearing in mind only that it is heavier, tipping the scales at 110kg. In fact there are no gears or even a clutch.
I keep testing the solidity of Gulas’ concept. I remind him of the Segway, another mould-breaking eco-transport. It never lived up to its potential. “If you want to sell something, you shouldn’t force people to change their behaviour,” says Gulas. The Segway requires users to shift their body weight to propel it. “And they took out the movement of walking, whereas we’ve put in the movement through cycling.”
All of which makes the eROCKIT very cool, but the thing that takes the cake is that it looks cool as well. Its elegant, vintage lines won it a place in BusinessWeek’s 20 coolest bike design list, among others (its technology has garnered numerous other international awards).
At the moment, the plan is to come out with 10 to 20 vehicles by the end of this year, largely hand-made in a low-roofed 10-man Berlin workshop. Production will be ramped up to 500 next year.
“We are now developing cell production processes and considering production regions, but the factors that need to be in place are the right investors, people understanding the concept and a demand for the product,” says Gulas chief operating officer, Andy j. zur Wehme.
In Germany, the pair is exploring three business channels: partnerships with businesses such as renewable energy utility providers; making a presence in the German Environment Ministry’s 12 electric mobility regions (field-test areas for electric mobility); and developing dealerships for end-user sales.
The timing for this product could not be better. Germany’s national development plan for electric mobility kicks off this year, aiming to have one million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020.
Unfortunately, I never did get the chance to propel an eROCKIT, my too-short 163cm allowing me to merely perch on it, balanced on tip-toes. Gulas is profusely apologetic about this, but sets a two-year target for a smaller, lower-horsepower, simplified model.
What’s more, other products are in the pipeline; keep an eye out for “four wheelers” and “water transport”.
If they succeed, the eROCKIT will be to human-hybrid transport the way Coke is to soft drinks, and the face of urban transport changed.

Well, at least for me. I don't know why but whenever images of the same nature come into my view, I feel excited, comfort and energised!
What about you gals and guys? Anything that make you feel like I am now.........
We've got complaint!
I was shocked when Pn Noraishah call me this morning. She said she had a complaint from someone. This someone, was complaining about this blog........
Thank you 'someone'... thank you very much. I've never thought that this blog has been keenly followed. My mistake. I under estimate the interest of the masses in this organisation.
Tell you what.... I will make it a priority to update this blog..... I cannot promise you wonders but if I fail to come up with an update, please remind me again...........
Errrgghhhh.................... semangat baru niii!!!!!!!
Why it has not been updated for so long?

Meaning of COHESIVE
After going through quite a lot of transformation activities (introduction, awareness, intervention session) I am still not clear what 'cohesiveness' means. So, being myself, I searched the internet. This is my finding......
Muahahahahaaaa.......... I really feel like laughing it out...... berdaya lekit lekitan...... muahahahaaaaaaa.....
But....
.... a cohesive group = kumpulan yang padu ....
Ok... that's quite acceptable......

Transformasi dan Innovasi
Di atas adalah sebahagian daripada teks ucapan YAB Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak, semasa pembentangan bajet 2010.
Kita dapati bahawa, inovasi merupakan salah satu kualiti yang ditekankan untuk menyemarakkan pembangunan Malaysia.
Kita dapati juga, negara ini sedang menjalankan proses transformasi ke arah kemajuan yang melibatkan berbagai bidang.
Jadi, tindakan KLCC melakuakan proses yang sama adalah merupakan satu tindakan yang sejajar dengan arah tuju kemajuan negara. Cuma, kita melakukannya pada kadar yang jauh lebih kecil dari apa yang dilakukan oleh kerajaan Malaysia.
ps/
We put so much effort, so much time, so much man hours in this transformation, to transform a group of companies with only 900 people. Just imagine, how much effort is needed to transform a nation of 25 million people. I feel like getting sick just thinking of it..........(because of the magnitude of effort / work / comitment to the transformation........)

Mindset Meeting 04112009 - Innovative
This is one of the shared value that we are trying to understand. Innovative is mostly about dealing with people creativity. In our case, staffs creativity. Creativity alone will not be of any good. It must be translated to presenting it and acting on it. So, how do you handle creativity or in a more simple word, ideas?
We also discussed in some details about the way management should handle ideas. We realised that management must create environment for creativity or in a bigger word, management should create platform for INNOVATION.
Being in KLCC for 12 years, I had this feeling that, somehow, this has got to be improved.
So, we come up with these ideas.............
...... Innovation Year Award
...... Innovation talks
...... Innovation box
GREEN POLICY.... ehmmmmm.... another issue which require some innovation!
"Innovation . . . is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method . . . Innovation is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services".
"All innovation begins with creative ideas . . . We define innovation as the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization. In this view, creativity by individuals and teams is a starting point for innovation; the first is necessary but not sufficient condition for the second".
"Innovation, like many business functions, is a management process that requires specific tools, rules, and discipline."
ps/
If you need more details on the meeting, refer to Pn R Selina. She got it all on her note book..... muahahaaaaa........ Jgn mare Pn R Selina.............

Think about it..............
This email gets into my mailbox. Read through...... my be you can share with me what you think about this story............
********************************************
Tomato Story
A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
'You are employed' he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.
The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.
'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist.. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.
He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.
The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.
Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US ...
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email.
The man replied,'I don't have an email.'
The broker answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'
Moral of the story
Moral 1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.
Moral 2 - If you don't have Internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.
Moral 3 - If you received this message by email, you are closer to being a office boy/girl, than a millionaire. ..........
P.S - Do not forward this email back to me, I am closing my email account & going to sell tomatoes!!!

What is 'Mindset'?
On the positive sides a mindset can also be seen as incident of a persons Weltanschauung or philosophy of life. For example there has been quite some interest in the typical mindset of an entrepreneur.

A Little Story Delivered To My Inbox - Do read it!
I not sure how true is this story, but it's pretty touchy.........
=======================================
Saya mengajar di sekolah rendah di tengah2 bandaraya Kuala Lumpur . Saya mengajar sesi petang. Salah seorang murid saya setiap hari datang lambat ke sekolah. Kasut dan bajunya selalu kotor. Setiap kali saya bertanya tentang baju dan kasutnya dia hanya berdiam diri.
Saya masih bersabar dengan keadaan pakaiannya, tetapi kesabaran saya tercabar dengan sikapnya yang setiap hari datang lambat. Pada mulanya saya hanya memberi nasihat. Dia hanya menundukkan kepala tanpa berkata2 kecuali anggukkan yang seolah2 dipaksa.
Kali kedua saya memberi amaran, dia masih juga mengangguk tetapi masih juga datang lambat keesokannya. Kali ketiga saya terpaksa menjalankan janji saya untuk memukulnya kalau masih lambat. Anehnya dia hanya menyerahkan punggungnya untukdirotan . Airmata saja yang jatuh tanpa sepatah kata dari mulutnya.
Keesokan harinya dia masih juga lambat, dan saya memukulnya lagi. Namun ia masih tetap datang kesekolah dan masih tetap lambat.
Suatu hari saya bercadang untuk mengintipnya ke rumahnya. Setelah mendapatkan alamatnya, saya meneruskan niat saya.
Dia tinggal di sebuah kawasan setinggan tidak berapa jauh dari sekolah. Keadaan rumahnya sangat daif. Saya nampak murid saya itu sedang berdiri di depan rumahnya dalam keadaan gelisah. Seorang wanita yang mungkin ibunya juga kelihatan gelisah.
Lebih kurang pukul 1.30 seorang anak lelaki sedang berlari2 sekuat hati menuju ke rumah itu. Sambil berlari dia membuka baju sekolahnya. Sampai di depan rumah baju dan kasutnya diserahkan pula kepada murid saya yang terus bergegas memakainya. Sebelum pakaian sekolah sempurna dipakai, dia sudah berlari ke arah sekolah.
Saya kembali ke sekolah dengan penuh penyesalan. Saya memanggil anak itu sambil menahan airmata yang mula tergenang.
"Maafkan cikgu. Tadi cikgu pergi ke rumah kamu dan memerhatikan kamu dari jauh. Siapa yang berlari memberikan kamu baju tadi?"
Dia terkejut dan wajahnya berubah.
"Itu abang saya. Kami kongsi baju dan kasut sebab tak ada baju lain. Itu saja baju dan kasut yang ada. Maafkan saya, cikgu." Jawabnya.
"Kenapa kamu tak beritahu cikgu dan kenapa kamu biarkan saja cikgu pukul kamu?"
" Mak pesan, jangan meminta2 pada orang, jangan ceritakan kemiskinan kita pada orang. Kalau cikgu nak pukul serahkan saja punggung kamu."
Sambil menahan airmata yang mula berguguran saya memeluk anak itu, "Maafkan cikgu, ......."
Kejadian itu cukup menginsafkan saya. Selepas itu saya cuba membantunya setakat yang mampu.
Cerita2 begini membantu melembutkan hati yang keras. Kata seorang guru, sekiranya hati kita mula keras lembutkanlah dengan perkara2 berikut;
i. Solat sunat
ii. Puasa sunat
iii. Berzikir
iv. Bersedekah
v. Mengusap rambut anak yatim
vi. Mendengar cerita2 kesusahan orang lain
vii. Membantu orang susah
Jadi .. renung dan insaflah .. semoga hidup kita penuh dgn berkat!

A Sample Of Success
Look at the car! She's a beauty isn't she?
A decade a go, item like this can only be a product of Maserati, Porsche or Lamborghini. But today, the car you are watching is a product of one of the giant economy of the east, Korea.
I am no car lover. Anything that can get me and my family from here to there, is more than enough. But when I see this little beauty, my heart beats like a love drum.
It is such a fine design. I love it. Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
But of course, it is my personal opinion. You may have your own opinion...... but look at it... long and hard.... and tell me what you think?

CLARITY IS POWER!
I think, company's direction must be clear so that staffs can make long term career development programme. I am not saying that there shall be no staff movement (some new employment and some resignation) but at least for those whom are interested to stay, can make an effort to develop themselves.
I think this is one of the issue that being addressed in the transformation exercise(clear in company's direction, clear in career path development). Soon, we may be able to clearly visualise where will we be in the organisation chart of the company 10 years from now........ ehhhmmmm.... interesting.... interesting.....

KLCC Properties Hari Raya Gathering
Location : Promenade, Putrajaya.
I was there. So, did many others. Were you there?
Many of us were there but no indication of transformation activities were there! Arggghhhh.... we miss the opportunity to advertise our transformation activities.
Will it makes any different if we were there with posters, banners and other transformation materials?
Well... orang Melayu kata.... tak cuba maka kita tak tahu.............
Maybe next time, if we have event like this...............................................

Permata (Untuk Isteri Ku)
Telah ku siapkan satu daerah paling sunyi
Dalam hati ini untuk kau isi sebagai isteri
Untuk kau penuhi dengan kemuliaan seorang wanita
Untuk kau beri erti dengan kelembutan
Untuk kau hargai dengan kasih sayang
Ku ingin kau jadi wanita mulia
Yang tahu harga budi dan hati
Seorang lelaki bernama suami
Kerana engkau isteri
Ku ingin kau mengerti bahawa hidup ini
Tak semudah yang kita janjikan
Yang kita janjikan
Kerana kau isteriku
Haa.... ha........ suddently Hisham become Mat Jiwang.........he... he.. he...
Say what ever you wish.......
I have heard of this lyric many, many, many times throughout my life but only a few days ago I listened.
I was editing lists of photos of my nephew's wedding. I was arranging it for a photo CD which I am going to give to him as a wedding present. To make it more interesting, I add a background music (Permata Untuk Isteriku - Kopratasa).
The magic happened when I started running the clips time after time for fine tuning.
It just happened, each photos is displayed just at the right time, corresponding to the lyric. The more I listened and watched the photos, the deeper it gets into me, and the more meaningful the lyric becomes.
I am not sad, I am not under any pressure. But suddently there's tears in my eyes....... Why....
Well, may be, now I understand why Reza created that mini clips with music and images for each of his training session. Run it time after time after time, and soon you will see........ you will understand..........
Good job Right Eye................!!

Masjid Besi (Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin)
I am not going to tell you about the mosque, but I am going to testify my experience during a Friday prayer there.
When I arrived, I did not see many cars parking by the road eventhough it was very near to Zohor time. Why? Aren't anybody interested to come for a prayer here?
Well, I was wrong. Most of the cars were parked in the double storey basement.
In the main prayer hall, it was very comfortable. The temperature was almost like in a shadow of a tree by the lake. I am impressed, because I remember when praying at the Putra Mosque, I was soaking wet in the middle of the prayer hall becasue it was so warm and I was far from the fans and main ventilation outlet.
An around you...... not many light were switched on. Yet it was sufficiently bright, even in the middle of the massive size main prayer hall. Some how, it was design to use natural lighting to brighten most of the covered area.
Whay it is being called "Masjid Besi"? Well everybody can answer this....... of course it is made mostly from steel............
Come and visit, you will be amazed! And to make it more interesting, that is the result of a hard work from our Public Ammenities team at Putrajaya.

I say......
There's a saying:you cant change the wind BUT you can adjust your sail.. the success at makin the quantum leap from hard work to work smart may ultimately depended on the mindset and value system...you need to cultivate the right mindset and value system in order to develope a culture of team work and ensure the success is sustainable=)

Meltinggg....
All the steps taken in the process of changing become more clear. It has created the feeling of urgency, not only toward the tranformation of KLCC but more to the transformation of myself.
I've less than 12 years to collects the right amount of assets to support my well being after retirement. A pension enough for a decent living...... bukan nak kaya... just a decent living........
I have to transform from a reckless to a carefull spender. I have to create enough resources to produce sufficient continuous profits through out my retirement days.
I may last up to 10 years with the current assets (if I am very, very, very carefull) but what if I got to live to be 85years old?
ps/
Nak makan apa beb kalau harta semua dah cair.... masa tu, nasi lemak bukan RM1 lagi dah... makan tengahari tak mungkin dapat RM5...... camana plak dengan kos perubatan....... arrgghhhhhh....... boleh naik tersandar beb kalau fikirkan perkara ni.........

Group Discussion at Googlegroups
I have created a discussion group for our Mindset & Culture Lab. This will make it easier for us to communicate. Discussions are unmoderated but membership is restricted to invitation only.
I have sent the maiden email listing the primary members. I hope this will help. Later, we can extend the membership to all staff in the KLCC Groups of companies. The group homepage is:
http://groups.google.com/group/klccmindset
Start typing guys and gals................

Great Discussion 08/09/2009
Main issues are, the open day latest instruction and away day for MC and labs leader. Now, for open day, we have to do it within the existing Reza's session. The will be no dedicated date for it.
But one that really interest me was 'selling'.
You probably wonder, what 'selling' has anything to do with this transformation journey. Well, we are not going to sell ordinary products, we are not going to sell high value properties, but we are going to sell :
Corperate Agenda
Shared Values
Tranformation Journey
We have identified to whom we are going to sell them.... Yes..... to everybody under the KLCC Properties Group. That's the easy part.
The more challenging part is......how are we going so sell these weird products of ours? Nabil will say... Lu pikir lah sendiriii....... but that will not work for us..... We would rather say ... Mari kita fikirkan bersama!

What drive the nation?
RON 95 = RM1.80
RON 97 = RM2.05
Yeah... that's the price of petrol as at today. Those whom are willing to spend more, can get the feeling of more acceleration, else accelerate moderately.......
Petrol has always been a big issue in Malaysia. Some said our petrol price is one of the cheapest in Soutt East Asia. Regardless of what they said, petrol drive the nation!
Price increased had affected us in many ways. This Ramadhan season aaa....... kuih is no more at 3 pieces for a RM1.00 you know........ popia basah now at 50 sen per piece woooo........
But... in KLCC Groups of Companies, what drive us? Our salary, woking environment, company's benefits?
What ever it is, it must keep on driving us. Driving us forward to achieve the company's mission and vision........ for the sake of our competitiveness and survival in open market.....

Do We Need A Blog?
Do we need a blog as we go along with the transformation journey?
I say there is no 'yes' or 'no' to this question. Just that.... blog is one of the most current communicating fenomena. People of all types are blogging.... for a reason of their own! So, why not we joint them. We do have our reason...... don't we.....
We can taylor design the blog to simulate awareness of our transformation exercise. There may be no direct impact on the timing or result of the transformation but I think it is a good idea to keep our journey interesting.... Don't you agree?
So.... other labs.... if you have blog of you own, please let me know. We can link to each other. In fact, I want to know you through you writing........ it may be a different you, online, you know!
ps/
I really enjoy creating this blog... and I think.... enjoying what you do is one or the best things in life....

Appointment As Change Agent
I got a letter with a title "Appointment As Change Agent For Business Transformation Initiative" signed by Encik Hashim himself.
You know what, I've been in a group serving for the company (doing additional task to the existing functions as per my job description) but so far, none has been properly recorded.
Not that I am asking to be recognised by my extra efforts (if it is considered as 'extra' laa...) but it seems like the company is saying........
We are serious............
We are serious in our migration exercises.......
Ehmmm....... I can't explain why, but I feel rather good.
ps/
...... now you see... it may not cost much to prepare the letter..... but it may makes a lot of different to the person involved (it makes a lot of different to me)...........

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT RAMADHAN / Selamat Berpuasa
Ramadhan menjelma lagi. Bulan yang penuh berkat, penuh nikmat.
Di bulan yang mulia ini, kita menjalani tranformasi :-
Disiang hari, dari seorang yang pelahap nasi lemak, roti canai, mee kari kepada seorang yang bersabar menanggung lapar dan dahaga menjunjung perintah Allah SWT dan mengharapkan keredhaannya. Janganlah sikap pelahap itu kembali di malam hari............
Disiang hari, dari seorang yang bengis, pemarah dan moody, kepada seorang yang penyabar bertimbang rasa dan penuh budi pekerti. Janganlah dimalam hari sifat keji itu dijemput kembali.....
Disiang hari, dari seorang yang acuh tak acuh menyahut seruan Illahi kepada seorang yang sentiasa bergerak-gerak bibirnya memuji-muji dan bersimpuh menunggu waktu mengadap Nya seperti telah dijanji. Jangan dimalam hari kita lepaskan peluang ibadah-ibadah yang dijanjikan Nya balasan maha tinggi...
Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Yang Mulia, Selamat Berpuasa Pembersih Jiwa.

Bentley
Sometimes a go, I watched a documentary about this company; Bentley Motors. They make cars of extremely high quality and performance. Just imagine, a luxury saloon that can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just about 5.3 seconds.
That probably has very little to do with our transformation, but an average of 11 years service duration for their employee....... yes, this is something to be looked at. And they have 4,000 employees around the world.
At the manufacturing plant, many of them have been working for 20 years or more. Why are they staying with the company for so long?
Aren't there any other job around? Are they being paid so well? Is the working environment so good? Is this the type of loyalty we are looking for? What is the expense of this long service?
Have any idea..... anyone.....?

Some troubling issues about "Tranformation"
I am sure some of you are still having doubt about our group tranformation. Well, I am not that surprised because it's quite normal for us being skeptics about all these changes around us, which are scheduled to take place soon.
Things that may come to you mind:-
What is transformation?
What's in it for me?
Will it effect my position in this company?
Will I be transferred to another department?
Will I be transferred to another company within the groups?
Will staff's benefits be different?
... or even, Will I be retrenched?

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
"Anak-anak hari ini mempunyai cita-cita yang jauh berbeza daripada cita-cita dan pemikiran masyarakat pra dan pasca kemerdekaan. Keadaan ini berlaku kerana mereka terdedah kepada pelbagai pengaruh luar melalui pelbagai saluran dan media. Dengan kemajuan teknologi komunikasi dan telekomunikasi, anak-anak yang berusia belasan tahun, seterusnya mereka dalam lingkungan 30-an dan 40-an, mewarisi pemikiran moden. Mereka mungkin faham bahawa sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan adalah detik memperingati kejayaan negara yang berjaya membebaskan diri daripada belenggu penjajahan. Disebabkan tidak pernah mengenal erti penjajahan, sama ada secara fizikal dan pemikiran, mereka tidak pernah menganggap mereka pernah dijajah. Pengalaman tidak pernah mengajar mereka penyeksaan hidup dijajah. Anak-anak hari ini tidak pernah merasa tidur dalam kerlipan pelita minyak tanah kerana setiap masa mereka membesar di dalam bilik berhawa dingin. Bagaimana mereka boleh memahami erti mandi di perigi, sedangkan mereka tidak pernah melihat perigi. Mereka hidup dalam zaman moden yang lama kelamaan menghakis semangat nasionalisme bangsa."
Itulah sebahagian dari teks sebuah artikel dari laman web bharian.com.my. Walaupun ada banyak benarnya, saya rasa, perlu ada ruang untuk sanjungan dan pengiktirafan anak-anak zaman ini.
"Anak-anak hari ini mempunyai cita-cita yang jauh berbeza daripada cita-cita dan pemikiran masyarakat pra dan pasca kemerdekaan". Sudah semestinya. Sedangakan saya dan anak saya yang berbeza satu generasi pun mempunyai pengertian yang berlainan terhadap cita-cita dan pemikiran. Inikan pula masyarakat yang terpisah oleh satu jarak masa selama 50 tahun.
"Disebabkan tidak pernah mengenal erti penjajahan, sama ada secara fizikal dan pemikiran, mereka tidak pernah menganggap mereka pernah dijajah". Rasanya tidak salah sekiranya kita beranggapan demikian, tetapi betulkah begitu? Betulkah kita telah bebas dari idea-idea penjajah?
"Pengalaman tidak pernah mengajar mereka penyeksaan hidup dijajah". Kita mesti bersyukur kerana ini. Keperitan akibat penyeksaan hidup ibarat luka, yang kadang-kadang meninggalkan parut-parut yang boleh kembali berdarah.
"Anak-anak hari ini tidak pernah merasa tidur dalam kerlipan pelita minyak tanah kerana setiap masa mereka membesar di dalam bilik berhawa dingin". Bukankah tidur dalam suasana nyaman berhawa dingin itu lebih selesa dari tidur berteman pelita minyak tanah yang berjelaga? Kita teramat bersyukur kerana nikmat sebegini.
"Mereka hidup dalam zaman moden yang lama kelamaan menghakis semangat nasionalisme bangsa." Bukan zaman moden sahaja yang menyebabkan semangat nasionalisme terhakis. Cuba kita sama-sama fikirkan, apakah sebab-sebab lain yang turut menyumbang kepadanya. Zaman yang dikatakan moden ini adalah kesan dari peredaran yang tidak mungkin dapat kita berhentikan. Kita mesti mengadaptasikan diri kita. Kita ada nilai-nilai yang kita yakini. Bukannya kita perlu hanyut bersama arus permodenan.
Saya yakin, kita lahir tepat pada masanya. Tidak terlewat mahu pun terdahulu. Dan untuk kesinambungan, diri kita, keluarga kita, agama kita, masyarakat kita, hatta negara kita sekali pun........... kita perlu transform......... dari baik kepada yang lebih baik kepada yang terbaik................
Apa kata anda.................................................

Putrajaya - Federal Administrative Capital
The garden city of Putrajaya is the seat of the Malaysian Government, having taken the role from Kuala Lumpur since 1999. Putrajaya was named after Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra.
The intelligent city sits on a magnificent 4,931 hectare spread located in the middle of the Southern Growth Corridor, which forms part of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC).
Planned with a sophisticated information network employing up-to-date communication technologies, the development of Putrajaya is a significant milestone in the history of modern city planning in Malaysia.
...... that's how they describe it at http://www.malaysia.gov.my/. To many KLCC's staffs, Putrajaya will remain to be one of their best effort. Even as I am writing this blog entry, more that 50 KLCC's personel still servicing either Putrajaya Corporation or Putrajaya Holdings developing this beautiful and modern garden city. But don't forget, there are also another 300 people of Putrajaya Holdings's staff dedicating their effort on full time basis, to the development.
So..... after this beautiful success... do we have to transform........?

It's really bad out there!
The smog.... urghhhhh.... very bad. At certain part of the Seremban-KL highway, visibility was hardly 500m. The air feels like...... thick and harder to breath in. To all collegue, please take extra care. Reduce spending time outdoor or if you have to, you may need to used masks.
But... what this isues has anything to do with KLCC Transformation? Everything man... everything........ Staffs is the most valuable asset to KLCC Groups. If they are affected in any way, the KLCC Groups as a company will also be affected.
But to my companion, the smog did not bother her. At 140km/h she just gallop steadily and happily.................................

We are not alone!
I was at the KPJ Hospital yesterday. To my surprise, queing has become an issue even at this private hospital.
What catch my eyes was their walls and message board. They have 'Vision', 'Mission', 'Client Charter' and shared value statement sticked on nicely.
One that really interesting in their shared values was 'Continoues Improvement'. It seems like they are saying.......... they will be no stop to the improvement activities.
Shouldn't we also have the same attitude?

Blessing in disguise....
I manage to finish the book 'Our Iceberg Is Melting' while accompanying my son in the ICU last week.
It is definitely a very nice book. It will help a lot in KLCC's transformation journey. But being new to this group (Mindset & Culture Lab), I am still quite confused with a few things from the books. But....... I would like to re-assure you... I will read it again........
Sorry to say... KLCC's Transformation will be secondary...... my own Transformation will be No. 1 now........ ...ha... ha..... jangan marahhhh...
Thanks for the books Fauzi.......
ps/ My son already out of the ICU but still warded.
