Consensus, Inclusiveness , Engagement
It will not be easy.
We have to walk the talk of bold, big ideas
BAU no longer accepted

8. 2015 – 2017
2nd Phase
Innovation encompass education, entrepreneurial, research, commercialisation (our core business) and the focus in Science, Engineering and Technology. Wealth creation for the nation and international community
It reflects our philosophy, our vision and mission.
We have to walk the talk of bold, big ideas
BAU no longer accepted, find ways to simplify, reduce layers, no posmen – fully utilise our manpower
We as leaders in UTM – the first task is to become the walking UTM DNA (leadership by example). Of course we are not perfect, but must be willing to learn, learning to do new things, to acquire new skills, should analyze our strengths and weaknesses
Bottom line – we must make things happen
Siapa yang come across, the success come without sweat. Comes easy (yang pipih tak akan datang melayang, yang bulat tak datang bergolek). If success comes without challenges, tak berpeluh, smooth…either we check adakah itu a real success.
