MATTERS DISCUSSED AND DELIBERATED

1. Lessons Learned from the past four (4) workshop sessions were deliberated based on feedback from
Rini+Selina+Reen+Kak Leha+Fauzi. The issues highlighted among others were last minute invitation for
the first session, the last minute changes of participants namelist due to rejections and deferment requests.

Action to be taken :
a. Rini+Reen+Kak Leha to manage the finalization of participants for all future workshop sessions. Ensure at any time the minimum number is at 50 pax.

b. Reen+Kak Leha to liase with others esp. HR Div on list of concurrent events organized by HR to mitigate
overlapping of participants' list.

c. Participants list Session 5 & 6 to be finalised by 9th Sept 09 for target invitation issuance on 15 Sept 09.

d. Fauzi to forward email on the info of fixed dates of future sessions to C&E lab.


2. Input from Right Eye

i. Prelim findings of the iClip sessions showed that majority of participants subscribed grouping to certain 'popular' and easily understandable values i.e Loyalty + Integrity + Professionalism. Predominantly, 'Cohesiveness' and 'Innovativeness' were observed to have attracted significantly lesser participants.

Action to be taken :

a. Reza proposed for us to embark on concept of ' Year of Innovativeness ' or 'Year of Cohesiveness' and
the rest of the other shared values to drive home the needed profound impact. Reza's words - Do what is
strong first and make it stronger.

b. Organize talks by personalities that are role models of the shared values.

c. Reward and Award initiatives recognizing and celebrating achievements.

d. Certificates of Participation to be distributed. Right Eye to propose the approach and effective method so
as to leverage on the opportunity of sparking interest in future attendees.

ii. Sustaining Efforts in Ramadhan - Right Eye to initiate proposals on the posters of group photos and some
critical flipcharts principles meant to grace and adorn the walls of Dayabumi + Menara PJH + Gate 1 offices.

iii. Lab members to identify and propose 'graduates' for affirmation interviews. Hisham to assist in managing
the input and output of this task. A framework needs to be drafted and proposed for lab members' next
deliberations.

iv. Right Eye proposed to create an e-group to encourage active interaction and communication among staff.

Other than the current blogspot, 'kickapps.com' is suggested. Further deliberations needed with the input of
Hisham and C&E lab.

3. Observations

i. 171 staff had attended and graduated from the past four (4) sessions.

ii. Analysis of the Shared Values presentations (flipcharts) to be carried out with input from Right Eye
and all Lab Members.

iii. To organize and propose the sessions for spouse and kids. Reza to write in officially for Lab's next action.

4. Findings from Right Eye

i. 5% feedback touched on proposals to include Islamic Values.

ii. Logistics - tight circulation space especially with the 55 pax in Session 4.

iii. Participants requested incorporation of Local Icons/ Flavour in the citing of examples.

iv. Overall 95% are positive feedback !

p/s : These filenotes were intended to address most of the issues raised and discussed. Each of the
attendees are most welcome to add any other matters discussed but not stated above.

Lab Leaders Meeting

From the table of Communication & Engagement Lab Leader

---------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,


Thanks again for your attendance at last Friday's Lab Leaders meeting, which was well attended and effectively facilitated by Pn Hamidah. Summary and outcome of the meeting :

1. Open Day. This was deliberated at length but later it was suggested that it be incorporated with the on-going Mindset Workshop. Respective Labs will prepare the necessary for use in the respective workshop. It was noted that the workshop will recommence on 5 Oct. 2009 as scheduled.

2. Away-Away Day. Tentatively, it is scheduled for 7-9 Oct. 2009. No. of pax from each Lab was suggested as: Leader+5 Lab members. Location of this Away-Away Day (outside KL, Putrajaya,etc....?) session to be suggested by Lab members by the next meeting. Among others the Workshop will be facilitated by Red Eye (En Reza), focussing Leadership programme and Challenges Ahead (Post-Migration/Integration...),etc.

3. Mid-Year Review of Lab Members for period April to September 2009 (SMART objectives, Achievements). PDA format may be used as format. To be ready for submission at Away-Away Day session.

4. Transformation Website. As a means of updating, each Lab shall prepare document (from part MC presentation material), ready for inclusion into the website upon endorsement from MC at each sitting. This way besides monthly updating, critical/sensitive information released are all endorsed by MC.


4.1 A mechanism for the website in answering questions is to be established whereby a scheduled 'moderator' from each Lab may be assigned to respond to the queries.


4.2 Each Lab is encouraged to develop it's sector in the existing Website already established by the C&E Lab. All to be linked via the Main Page of the website. To liaise with En. Nik Naza on all ICT/website matter.


4.3Mindset Lab has launched a Blog to facilitate its on-going workshop. It was requested that the Blog be linked to the Transformation Website and not independently as all Transformation efforts need to be concerted.

5. Next Meeting. Pn Noraishah will arrange for En. Reza (workshop facilitator) to meet with us at our next meeting to discuss on the content of subsequent scheduled Mindset workshops in order that we integrate the Open Day agenda (as item 1 above) - Structure, Roles, Scope, etc. Pn. Noraishah will inform us accordingly.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Zuraimi Ismail
Communication & Engagement Lab Leader
