Co-founder and managing director of EGN Indonesia, Dona Amelia, said that AI and other digital technologies stand out as pivotal trends to anticipate this year, as emphasized by EGN Indonesia's members in the survey.
“This is why we place significant emphasis on carefully selecting discussion topics for our peer group meetings and workshops,” Amelia said in a statement from EGN Indonesia on Wednesday.
The goal is to make sure that EGN Indonesia's members can gain valuable insights to help them navigate emerging trends and challenges, she added.
A recent survey has identified the political landscape and economic volatility as the foremost concerns for this year.
The survey has also highlighted that challenges such as the availability of skilled labor, the global recession, and a deficiency in readiness to adopt AI technologies are among the prominent issues that businesses may face this year.
She said that EGN has continued to strengthen its presence in the Indonesian market since the establishment of its branch in the country in March 2022.
To date, EGN Indonesia’s membership has grown to 152 members, consisting of business owners and executives from diverse leading enterprises across various industries.
Currently, EGN Indonesia members get to participate in 6 in-person peer group meetings, 6 in-person cross-functional events, over 24 virtual regional events, and 4 networking events each year.
Moreover, each peer group is assembled by EGN’s experienced networking specialists to ensure that it matches the members’ seniority level.
She said that until today, EGN Indonesia has had a clear mission: to help leaders make each other better.
"This objective has been our enduring motto since 1992, dedicated to empowering leaders to get the boosts they need to make a difference, offer unique value, and further contribute to their personal and organizations’ success,” she said.
Around three-quarters of the survey respondents agreed that the meaningful discussions that take place during EGN’s group meetings are the distinguishing factor that sets EGN apart from other networking organizations, she added.
“Our focus extends beyond numerical growth to the impacts we deliver to our members. This has become increasingly crucial, particularly as businesses face geopolitical challenges and economic volatility that could directly affect their organizations,” she said.
