MALAYSIA MEDIA CASE STUDY

Examples of organisational culture transformation

Shifting to a culture of accountability and customer-centricity

The business challenge

Our client is Malaysia’s leading media company serving 5.7 million Malaysians (75% of households) across their TV, radio, digital and commerce platforms. With the appointment of a new CEO, and against the background of a fast moving industry, our client was seeking to redefine themselves from the inside out.

Our client’s drive to change culture stemmed from a desire to significantly improve the customer experience and thereby enhance their reputation in the market; retain customers for the long term, mitigating significant threats from OTT competition, as well as financial loss due to piracy; and to leverage market dominance to grow.
