“Kampungku” (My Village) is an initiative to provide a sustainable source of energy to the indigenous villagers along the Tembeling River in Kuala Tahan, Pahang, Malaysia. Haskell Malaysia has been a proud partner for this program together with ECOMY and VERITAS Design Group since 2018. We had our team embark on our 3rd KampungKu journey recently.

Since its inception in 2018, the Global Lighthouse Network (GLN) of advanced manufacturers has demonstrated how leading companies can work toward realizing the full potential of the innovations and advances at the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Beginning with a select collection of leading-edge organizations, we have seen how lighthouse factories can help entire organizations navigate their modernization journeys.

At the core of these steps is the idea that it’s important for leaders to take time to pause and listen to voices from across their organizations, as part of a more ‘human-centred’ approach to workforce management. This idea, that businesses need to learn to emerge stronger, is advocated by management consultants including McKinsey, which urges leaders to find moments to “stop, reflect, and think ahead”. Deloitte’s recommendations reflect the ambition of the World Economic Forum’s own Sustainable Development Impact Summit and Great Reset initiative.
