Dato’ Dr. Kamal Jit Singh is the founder of Global Innovation Research Centre (GIRC), a strategic Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Status think tank. GIRC was setup to instil innovation and thinking skills in Malaysian industry, government and education sectors.
He has a Doctoral degree in Strategic Management and his underlying expertise and passion is in using Innovation to develop sustainable Competitive Strategies that provide a higher barrier of entry. Dato’ has an MBA whilst his earlier qualifications are in Information Technology. He is a Chartered Information Technology Practitioner (UK) and a Chartered Marketer (UK).
He has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) by the Prime Minister of Malaysia and is also a Member of the National Branding Taskforce for Malaysia.
Before establishing GIRC, Dato’ was the CEO of British Telecom’s Asian Research Centre for a period of 8 years, where he spearheaded the creation of over 50 International patents. Prior to that, Dato’ founded an Interactive Multimedia Computer Aided Training Company and led the R & D for an authoring and content management system. Before that, Dato’ spent 8 years with a Multi-National in New Zealand, where he left as the General Manager.
A regular speaker at many international technology conferences, Dato’ is also a columnist in “The Edge”- Malaysia’s premier business weekly. His column emphasises the usage of Innovation and Disruptive Technology as strategic competitive tools in the new economy.
Dato’s belief is that innovation is a direct result of our core thinking processes. Leadership requires us to change the way we think – we have to think critically to become more creative, so that the end result is heightened competitiveness. Innovation requires specific ingredients and skills – all of which can be acquired and learnt.
Dato’ has pioneered the “Science of Innovation” – a structured methodology for conceptualising and creating Innovative products and services. In use extensively by over 400 Malaysian companies, the Methodology has recently been approved for a Pilot Programme for Government-owned Companies. He is also the creator of the “Mental Protein” Thinking Series – a set of thinking tools that build Critical, Constructive and Creative Thinking skills.
