Learn how to adapt, lead, and future-proof your business.

Author

I am moved by Datuk CK Tan who shared about his lowest point in life as an entrepreneur to an extent of almost losing his entire family. The session gave me a fresh perspective of an ideal work-life balance, leading him on a solid career path.

PROGRAMME

9th July 2025 (Half-Day Workshop)

8:00AM - 12:00PM

The 11X Growth Strategy

In today's business landscape, it is no longer enough to organically grow. It is no longer enough to have 10-20% Year on Year growth. Why? Because we are in competition with the world, with technology and with speed. If you don't have a strategy for exponential growth, you may see an exponential fall. 

We've seen closure of many traditional and legendary businesses event the likes of Borders bookstore, Toys "R" Us, Tower Records and more. If you are not growing... you are dying. 

In this session, we look at the areas that today's thriving businesses look at to scale exponentially and successfully.

The Speaker

Ray Chou is an award-winning serial entrepreneur having founded or co-founded 18 companies over the last 29 years. 3 of them sold, the most recent being a tech company that expanded to 9 countries around the world, to a telco public listed company for a valuation of 150 million. He has been awarded a total of 86 awards across his companies and him personally receiving 6 Entrepreneurship related awards. Ray's portfolio of companies include a marketing agency, a software development, game development, restaurant chain, food import, e-commerce, property management, datacenter management, business education, food manufacturing and social media management.

Today he dedicates some of his time in sharing his experiences through business coaching and his signature academic program called LEAD, which focuses on building high-performing teams to scale companies. Ray has been invited to speak in 21 countries, spoken to more than 5000 business owners and has dedicatedly helped more than 400 companies to scale an average of 5X in a period of 3 years. His most proud achievement is helping a company scale 26X in 4 years.

He still manages 3 businesses today, while some of the businesses he remains as Board of Director or Advisor.

Ray is also a musician, regularly singing and performing with his band, the Music Mayhem, aat least 3 times a year in curated charity performances around Asia.

The Session

01 An Introduction to the Components of 11X

  • A view of the 8 areas of growth and how each area plays a significant role for each other.


02 Solidifying the Core Customer

  • Everything starts from the Who...NOT the Why... So getting this right means you can start getting everything else Right
  • A short exercise will be performed to discover your ideal Core Customer


03 Scaling Companies through Scaling People

  • How do we attract, motivate, retain, and reward our teams so that they can drive the company to growth?


04 Leading Leaders

  • Do we build followers? Or do we build leaders? How do we create an army of gladiators?


05 The 11X Canvas

  • Take home the 11X Canvas to work on to solidify your plan of action
