MyRA is an acronym for the Malaysian Research Assessment Instrument. This evaluation tool is used to assess the research performance of higher education institutions in Malaysia across eight crucial areas. It is a yearly assessment, and now is the time for data entry. My role as a member of the Research Management Centre (RMC) is to filter and validate information for accuracy. I am personally very enthusiastic about research, as I believe it has the power to make a positive impact on society. This belief was instilled in me by my alma mater's motto, "Berilmu Berbakti". I find satisfaction in conducting research and promoting a healthy research culture. In my opinion, the assessment is not just about the star rating. It is about the spirit of striving for research excellence and impactful research.? #researchexcellence #impactfulresearch

With an article for Star Biz 7, this week Center for Market Education CEO, Dr Carmelo Ferlito, came back to the topic of corporate fragmentation in Malaysia. 98% of Malaysia's firms are MSMEs, but they produce only 38% of the GDP. The new government plan to increase MSMEs access to capital markets is useful, but it will be effective only if accompanied by a change in corporate culture. Only a higher degree of consolidation can generate technical progress, social mobility and social protection.

Interesting article in the Irish Times today on the impact of population growth in Fingal. Bordering Meath in the West, it hugs the scenic coastline of the North County Dublin's penisulas looking east across the Irish sea and reaches as far as South Dublin in parts. Demographics tell us, the population increased by more than a third between 2006 - 2022, that it has a well serviced economic corridor accessible via the M50, M1, Dublin Airport and Dublin Port. That it accomodates a young & diverse population, 60% of whom are below the age of 44 and is set for continued growth. With a broad range of industries including; tourism, retail, hospitality, ICT, agriculture, public administration, commerce & trade, it will continue to need a well-balanced workforce. Fingal's Skills Strategy is actively seeking stakeholders to be at the forefront of meeting future demand. https://lnkd.in/eQCvf4yp

PPMI is pleased to announce the completion of a comprehensive study, focusing on the evolving landscape of work across the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) region. Commissioned by the European Training Foundation, the study explored the emergence of online freelancing and platform work in nine SEMED countries, shedding light on their implications for employment, education, and training policies. Our key study findings include: ???Analysis of the prevalence of online and on-location platform work, its attractiveness, worker profiles and skills and working conditions ???Overview of the current regulations and policies related to the new forms of work ???Identification of opportunities and challenges through a SWOT analysis, with a particular focus on quality job creation and inclusiveness ???Policy implications in the areas of labour market and employment, skill development and digitalisation This study, implemented together with project partners GREATVISORY, complements our previous research efforts and contributes to shaping EU initiatives in the Mediterranean, aligning with the 2021 New Agenda for the Mediterranean and the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) on Jobs through Trade and Investment. #PPMIprojects

Amazing to think that I've been at Consulum almost three years now. As the post reflects, a dynamic period of learning across multiple geographies and differing styles of governance. Perhaps a useful time to reflect on two common challenge that I've seen across Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) in this period - 1. Enhanced integration of Communication and Investment functions At Consulum, our strategic governmental advisory support extends to improving strategic communications within government entities. My previous experience in investment promotion helped my understanding of the importance of a unified and effective messaging strategy at all organisational tiers, including local, state, and national levels. But a recurring challenge I've continued to observe in both large and small Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs), irrespective of their budgetary capacities, is the suboptimal coordination between investment and communications divisions. These departments are often perceived as distinct entities with minimal interaction. To remedy this issue, IPAs should prioritise fostering a symbiotic relationship between these teams. Investment professionals need to recognise the important role of communications in enhancing their outreach and targeting precision. Similarly, the communications team should improve their understanding of the IPAs' sectoral and geographical focus, collaborating closely to ensure that the right message is deployed in the right areas. 2. A refined approach to Investor Targeting Closely linked to the point above is the issue of strategic investor targeting. A prevalent issue among IPAs is a 'spray-and-pray' targeting approach, often spread thin over multiple 'priority' sectors. This leads to confusion for potential investors and an inefficient allocation of internal resources. IPAs can benefit from spending more time on identifying genuine opportunities within specific sub-sectors, particularly those where their region holds a competitive edge. Such a focused approach enables more precise and effective investor targeting, optimising resource utilisation. Some leading IPAs we have worked with are at the forefront of this evolution, leveraging advanced AI technologies for comprehensive mapping of entire supply chains in chosen sub-sectors prior to initiating the targeting process - focusing engagement and allowing for practical discussions from the onset. Some food for thought - would be great to hear any views on the points above...
