The GenCorporate International Forum (GIF) is an annual event, which serves as a platform for interaction between corporate leaders from various industries and students from all over the United Kingdom. Our theme this year, The Transitionists, focused on the transformation of various industries over the years and how this has affected and could affect the world today and in the future. Recognising the importance of change, we aimed to promote to students the concept of innovation and the rise of entirely new skills and industries. GenCorporate had the opportunity to host the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Kuala Lumpur for an intimate dinner and a panel session with students from all over the United Kingdom. The representatives present included Managing Directors, Senior Partners and other individuals from the from BCG offices in London, Malaysia and Singapore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students had the opportunity to interact with the representatives in a casual setting throughout the dinner and had the opportunity to ask questions during the panel session. A range of ideas were brought up and discussed by the representatives from BCG. They spoke about their experience of working as a consultant, which in Malaysia involves working with BCG offices throughout the South East Asian region. Among the many topics discussed included how strategic consulting would tie into working with governments and how it sometimes mirrors the work of policy makers.
