Asia Digital Australia

At the end of last week Scott completed two full days at the Asialink Leaders program on Cross Cultural Management run by UGM with Dr Margaret Byrne. He live blogged the two days and wishes to thank all of you who followed and provided feedback.

The most important lesson learnt from the workshops in relation to Asia Digital Update is the idea of Low and High Context in communication. That in the west we prefer high context where the communication is direct, explicit and we spell our message out. In Asia, however, high context means that the communication is indirect, implicit and we need to deliver our message by other means.

This idea of supporting both low and high context has some direct applications to the Asia Digital Events and the way they are run and some changes will be introduced in our next event to reflect these leanings which should be announced very soon.


Business Directory

We are extremely excited to have just launched the first trial of our Business Directory. If your organisation works in Asia or is looking to work in Asia we invite you to join. We have some interesting plans for the directory in the coming months.

Presentation Partners

Finally we are on the hunt for some presentation partners to work with us over the next twelve months. If your company could benefit from positioning itself with our audience and our members across Asia please contact us.

Sincere Thanks
Scott and the Asia Digital Update team
