“Today is difficult, tomorrow is even more difficult, but the day after is beautiful. We just need to get through tomorrow evening”

Where were you when COVID-19 happened?
More pertinently, where will it leave your business?

Large and small organisations have been crippled by the outbreak, but perhaps even more so by the restriction measures taken to combat its spread.

Being the leading nation in ASEAN affected by COVID-19, Malaysia has had a head start in seeing the impact of this virus on individuals as well as the business and economic consequences of drastic steps taken to flatten the curve.

As a n institution based in Malaysia for Asia the Iclif Executive Education Center at Asia School of Business is in a unique position to draw from real-life and real-time lessons from leaders who are living, surviving, and succeeding the repercussions of COVID-19, and to enhance that learning with academic rigors of our global faculty.

We bring you a timely, purpose-designed dialogue series that will:

• Reframe your perspective for leading your business in a COVID-19 world
• Refocus you on key issues and factors that will most impact your business
• Reinvent processes and procedures to survive and even thrive in the economic impact of the outbreak

COVID-19: The Day After Tomorrow dialogue series intend to not only provide business practices and guidance for those to follow, but to serve as a reminder that humanity need to come together to fight this virus and do what we can to support one another.

Time:

3pm – 3:45pm on Monday, 30th March 2020
