The digital economy is booming, but KRI warns MSME digitalisation is “broad but shallow.” We explore why many micro- and small businesses digitise only their customer-facing functions while core operations remain manual, the practical costs of shallow digitalisation, and why micro-enterprises, about 71% of MSMEs, struggle to improve their digital maturity.

Emellia Shariff explores why psychological safety is as critical to resilience as any business strategy, and how to create a workplace where people feel psychologically safe.

Organisational Resilience Starts With People 

After studying expert entrepreneurs, Professor Saras Sarasvathy found they weren't better at predicting the future; they simply made decisions differently. In a world shaped by AI, geopolitical shocks, and fast-changing consumer behaviour, we explore what a different mindset can teach entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone making decisions when the future cannot be predicted. 

We discuss:


Why expert entrepreneurs don't out-predict everyone else, and what they do instead


The five principles of Effectuation


How successful entrepreneurs turn surprises into opportunities rather than setbacks


Whether entrepreneurship is a learnable method rather than an inborn talent, and what that means for developing it within a company

Why Great Entrepreneurs Don't Predict the Future

Malaysia's creative industry has never lacked talent; the bigger question has always been how to turn that talent into sustainable businesses. Zainol Haqim Zainol Rashid tells us what's working, what's still holding creative entrepreneurs back, and what it will take for Malaysian creative brands to go global.



We discuss:


The "orange economy," and where the biggest opportunities and challenges lie today


Why funding alone hasn't been enough, and whether the real gap is commercial viability rather than capital


How AI is reshaping design, music, publishing, and content creation


Valuing creative IP, and what it will take for more Malaysian creative companies to build globally recognised brands without losing their local identity
