Kepada mereka yang excellent




Dua hari lepas kena attend the group's annual Excellence Conference (EC2006) which was held at the KLCC Convention Centre. This year punya theme is "Passion for Excellence".

If it was an ordinary conference held at an ordinary venue, your's truly memang tak bother nak pegi. Since the event diaorg buat kat this hi-tech punya venue, i jumped on the ocassion. Lagipun ada free food, how can i resist. The KLCC Convention Centre is located next to Mandarin Oriental. To read more about it you can visit http://www.klccconventioncentre.com



The conference is a 2 day thing, 1st and 2nd day is basically a conference but the 2nd half of the 2nd day they will give out prizes to the winners of the CIC competition. Pertandingan ni is a yearly event and each participating team uses 6 sigma to improve apa sahaja process etc in their respective company. This year ada 30 team yang bertanding so the organizers were quite happy with the turn out.

Menurut kata the organizers, this year punya event the speakers invited lebih gempak than before. This year they invited Datuk Tony Fernandez (Air Asia Supreemo), Datuk M Jegathesan (Doctor who still holds the 200m record) and a few other notable speakers. Tapi the speaker i enjoyed most was Tony Fernandez. The guy memang cool, he just wore a t-shirt and jeans for the conference. According to him that is the Air Asia culture, no barriers. I do agree with him. Whenever you dress too formal it creates a barrier between you and your staff. In my future blog, i'll elaborate more on Datuk Tony.

The conference memang berbaloi, i learnt alot from the speakers and got to meet new friends. Cant wait for next years conference, provided i'm still with the company :)
