As the managing director of Kepner-Tregoe in Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Greater China, David Choo believes in the power of a sound strategy. Whether it�s helping to transform the workplace at companies like Corning and Hitachi Chemical, exploring new business frontiers in China, or deciding to go for the green on a long, par-five golf hole, David knows that the right strategy makes all the difference.
For the past 20 years, David has used Kepner-Tregoe�s acclaimed critical thinking processes to help companies improve the way work is done by pursuing strategies that generate operational improvements, revenue growth, and workplace transformation. For example, David led the consulting team that developed and executed a complete strategic overhaul at one of the world�s largest and most renowned utility companies. This resulted in an 8% return on fixed assets, an accumulated productivity increase of 160%, and a three-fold reduction in annual customer complaints.
For David, the power of strategy lies not only in the bottom-line business benefits it produces, but also in how it can change the way a company thinks. At Kepner-Tregoe, we use a core set of ideas and technologies to address business issues ranging from strategic, to operational, to organizational. Helping companies and employees adopt a process of critical thinking leads to innovative solutions that reduce downtime, and improve on-time delivery and bottom-line results. This creative thinking produces behaviors that are consistent with a firm�s values and beliefs, and that strengthen its culture.
David is a mentor and advisor to business leaders worldwide as well as to Kepner-Tregoe consultants who rely on his guidance and collaboration. David holds a bachelor�s degree in business administration from Berea College in the U.S. and a master�s degree in international marketing from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Kepner-Tregoe, Inc. |
