Context of vision and mission statement
Strive -Indicates an ambitious, committed, energetic approach.
Takaful partner of choice - Making our clients want to do business with us. This is possible
once we are able to differentiate ourselves on the basis of quality proposition. One indicator could be
market leadership in terms of product innovation, customer service, national outreach, ethical approach
to doing business, etc.
Reputable -Reputation is derived from various means: customer experience, commitment to the
society and the industry, ethical approach to doing business, quality and technical depth of our financial
advisors, reliability, trustworthiness, technology-savvy business, sustainable approach to growth. This
in turn has a significant impact on our brand value.
Profitable - Emphasizing commercial viability of the business and therefore value creation for
our shareholders.
Sharia driven - Instead of simply being Sharia compliant. There may be a segment that is
motivated by Sharia authenticity of our products / brand.
Innovative financial solutions -'Innovative' underscores our commitment to bring a fresh approach
to product development; 'solutions' indicates our desire to be proactive to market's needs, instead of a
cut & paste or reactive approach to serving our clients.
Talent -Best in class talent requires a powerful HR policy to attract, develop and retain quality
professionals. It requires significant investment in training. We will ensure that our people understand
insurance business and more importantly understand the differences and similarities with Sharia takaful
principles. Our client-facing people carry a huge responsibility in creating (or destroying) our reputation
and brand value. Our middle office people (risk management, product structuring, etc.) are the backbone to
our long term sustainable growth. And a reliable back office ensures that we are able to safeguard the
trust of our stakeholders through accurate and timely analysis and reporting.
Technology -Our long term sustainable growth will be dependent on the quality of our information
technology infrastructure. More than a support function, it has to be viewed as a business-enabler
helping us in critical decision making.
Distribution - Building a extensive, nationwide distribution network is critical to our long
term survival. Backed by quality talent and technology systems, we need to aggressively strive to develop
strong market access. This will involve a combination of direct sales force, branch network, bancatakaful
, brandassurance (e.g. hypermarket, etc.) and other channels to quickly expand our outreach.
