“As one, our resources and strengths are limited, as a group, they are endless and unlimited….”
Dear Reader
One might say, that to build a new product or service to be commercialized in the most efficient way, several important elements are required.
For example, if we want to develop an apartment complex to fulfill the needs of the local customers, we will need the following “ingredients”, in order to complete the project efficiently and in a profitable way.
We will need (included but not limited to): Land to build on, Developers, Financers, Architects, Engineers, Marketing and Branding specialists and of course, we also need the most important player of them all, the “Captain” who is leading the project at hand and setting its course for success.
The Management of Ikaros Group Corporation believes, that no product or service can truly become successful without a qualified and committed Captain with a mission to steer the ship all the way from port A to port B.
We believe, that as the global economical turbulence started to effect most of the industries around the world approximately one and a half years ago, the importance of this “Captaincy role” combined with the right Management Team, has become increasingly more important in all businesses around the world.
For Ikaros Group, the past one and a half years have meant a time of changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the sometimes difficult and even challenging decisions that the Management of the company has made, these changes will and are at this very moment starting to show themselves to be very prudent.
The rationale for this is rather simple.
The current Global Economic Crises mobilized and committed the Management of Ikaros Group, even more than before, to formulate more innovative business strategies and manage our resources more efficiently than before. This also included higher priority and focus on building our contact network in Thailand and Asia.
Now, approximately one year later, this constantly expanding contact network includes extremely valuable, high-level connections and relations in several areas of Thai businesses and organizations, such as:
- Financing (private and institutional)
- Banking,
- Political (local and national level)
- Construction and Development
- Farming
- Tourism related operations
- Industrial operators (factory owners from several industries)
- Members of some of the country’s most appreciated and well known business families
- Members of the Royal Thai Parliament
- High-level Police and Military officials
- and several other important influencers in Thailand.
This list can, and will be made longer through our daily networking efforts, also in order to ensure the safety, continuity and growth of our businesses in Thailand.
It is here worth pointing out, that as a foreign company operating in Thailand, it is of paramount importance to have a solid contact network at different levels in Thai business and social circles.
We at the Management of Ikaros Group are of the firmest belief that this fact can also ultimately determine the success or failure of any such business venture in Asia.
As such, this has been our key strategy from the outset in building our business here in Thailand, and we are already, regardless of the short operational time, considered to have an excellent track record in this area.
Our goal is not to build a network of just “names” on a list, but creating a valuable network of professionals that are committed to the cause of achieving long-term relationships and partnerships, where all parties can benefit from the connections created.
By reaching the above, we will create a true win-win situation that can be enjoyed among all parties for a long time to come.
