Mr. David Frigstad, Global Chairman of Frost & Sullivan, highlighted the importance of the "Transformational Growth Journey," which Frost & Sullivan defines as a seven-stage process to help companies navigate disruption and achieve sustainable success. He explained that the journey begins with understanding industry ecosystems across nine value chains, then leveraging data through the Growth Generator to enable rapid decision-making. Mr. David Frigstad emphasized that CEOs must view the world through a lens of prioritized growth opportunities and benchmark their organizations against global best practices. He also pointed to the Frost Radar as a tool for measuring future growth potential, built on both execution and innovation.

Mr. Aroop Zutshi, Global President and Managing Partner of Frost & Sullivan, centered his speech on "Empowering Enterprises' Transformational Growth Journey", delivering an in-depth sharing focusing on global economic changes and corporate development, illuminating the growth path for enterprises seeking breakthroughs. He pointed out that the global economy is currently experiencing an unprecedented wave of change, and most enterprises are trapped in transformation dilemmas. The root causes lie in the difficulty in responding to change, missing hidden strategic opportunities and lacking a clear transformation framework. Only by taking proactive actions and focusing on strategic priorities can enterprises gain a firm foothold in the market reshuffle. To address the transformation challenges of enterprises, Mr. Aroop Zutshi proposed the "Top 5 Strategic Imperatives", including: 1. Transformation; 2. Ecosystem; 3. Growth Generator; 4. Growth Opportunities; 5. Frost Radar, Best Practices and Companies to Action, forming a systematic solution to support enterprises' transformational growth. Mr. Aroop Zutshi also detailed the six phases of Frost & Sullivan's "Growth Pipeline Engine", from growth audit and opportunity screening to strategy implementation and dynamic optimization, forming a interlocking systematic growth process to ensure that corporate growth is implementable and sustainable. Facing the Intelligence Revolution that began in 2023, he emphasized that this round of revolution is different from the Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. By leveraging intelligent AI architectures, enterprises can deeply integrate deep web data, internal enterprise data and real-time public information. Only by equipping themselves with adaptive systems can enterprises seize technological dividends and occupy competitive high grounds. This sharing not only pointed out a way for enterprises to break through from "survival" to "development", but also conveyed clear growth value: by unifying team goals, stimulating innovation vitality and transforming strategies into practical actions, enterprises can not only avoid the risks of change, but also enhance their future growth potential, achieve sustainable high-quality development in the era of the Intelligence Revolution, and inject strong momentum into industrial transformation.
