I’m thrilled to see someone as experienced as Adis take on this role. Thailand’s industries desperately need his expertise!
I agree! With his background, he might just be what Thailand needs to turn things around.
While Adis has a solid resume, it’s not all about one person. Systemic changes are needed urgently.
But does his past corporate experience translate into real improvements on the ground?
This appointment should have happened years ago. Our manufacturing sector is dying!
Dying might be a dramatic word. Struggling, yes, but hiring Adis is a step in the right direction.
Struggling is just a polite way of saying dying. Let’s call a spade a spade.
Katie has a point. We need to acknowledge the severity of the issues.
True, but a leadership change can only do so much. We need consistent policies and support.
Why do we always need foreigners to fix our problems? Aren’t there capable Thai leaders?
Adis is Thai, though. He’s worked internationally, but he is still very much connected to Thailand.
Fair point, but we need more homegrown solutions rather than importing expertise all the time.
Sometimes international perspectives can bring fresh insights. It’s a balance.
Energy costs are killing us. Can Adis really address that?
Reducing energy costs is complex, but it’s definitely on Adis’s agenda. His experience could offer new strategies.
Innovative solutions in energy management are crucial. Let’s give him a chance.
Innovation is key, but the execution matters the most. Talk is cheap.
I think he’ll focus more on operational efficiency than just cutting costs.
Why is dss+ only now beginning to focus on Thailand? The challenges aren’t new.
Hoping Adis prioritizes sustainability. Thailand needs to go green.
Sustainability is important, but the immediate financial challenges can’t be ignored.
Sustainability and financial health aren’t mutually exclusive. Both can be achieved with the right approach.
What will be his first move? Any guesses?
Probably a comprehensive review of current operations. Understanding the landscape is crucial before making changes.
That makes sense. Any significant initiatives you think he might prioritize?
Energy management and production efficiency, I’d guess. Those are critical areas needing immediate attention.
Let’s hope he doesn’t take too long. Timely action is crucial!
Adis’s past roles seem impressive. Can he live up to his legacy at dss+?
Legacy is one thing, but every new role has its unique challenges and expectations.
I’m optimistic, but also cautious. He needs to prove his worth here just like anywhere else.
Does anyone know how his previous strategies at Johnson Controls worked out? Will they apply here?
dss+ needs structural changes, not just a leadership facelift. Will Adis do what’s necessary?
True, deep-rooted changes are often what’s needed. Surface-level fixes won’t cut it.
Exactly, and those changes need strong backing and real commitment.
Let’s hope the company truly empowers him to make those deep changes.
Looking forward to seeing how he tackles regulatory hurdles. They can be a real headache.
I wonder what dss+’s growth strategy for Southeast Asia entails beyond just this appointment.
Diversification maybe? Southeast Asia is a growing market.
Agriculture needs just as much attention as industrial sectors. Hope Adis sees that.
