PETALING JAYA, Selangor, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) is targeting 5,000 participating companies to benefit from MyReskill IoT Programme which will be officially launched by Secretary General of MITI, YBhg. Dato’ Lokman Hakim Ali on 2^nd September 2021.
 
According to Director General of MPC, Dato’ Abdul Latif Hj. Abu Seman, more firms need to be digitalised to yield more significant impact of digital technologies on productivity growth.
 
“Higher uptake of digital technology among firms represents a greater opportunity to drive productivity growth, said Dato’ Abdul Latif.
 
Currently, the percentage of Malaysian firms that have used automated or computer-controlled machinery is still low, as reported by World Bank. As such, this programme is a timely intervention to enhance productivity performance by accelerating the pace of technology adoption and diffusion across firms.’
 
One of the key components incorporated in this program under the theme ‘Boosting Productivity through Digitalisation’ is Go B.I.G with Digital Pledge. Go B.I.G with Digital, an initiative under Digital Productivity Nexus (DPN), aims to call upon all leaders to embrace a mindset change towards breakthrough performance with digital technology adoption.
 
Dato’ Wei Chuan Beng, Champion of DPN said, productivity gains from digitalisation are not automatic. Leaders need to renew their mindset, not just to survive the pandemic but to come out stronger by leveraging on the opportunities brought forth by digitalization.
 
After the official launch of the programme, presentations on the introduction of MyReskill IoT Programme and the application of IoT to improve productivity have also been scheduled, featuring expert in productivity and industry representative.
