Business Dilemma: Scale Up or Slow Down?

At Louken Group, we believe that one of the best ways to grow is to connect—with people, ideas, and challenges that stretch our thinking. That’s why we were excited to take part in The Business Show Asia, where our CEO, Lee Haoming, delivered a keynote address titled “Business Dilemma: Scale Up or Slow Down?”

Speaking to a room filled with entrepreneurs, business owners, and aspiring leaders, Haoming explored one of the most pressing questions businesses face today: when is the right time to accelerate growth, and when should you hit pause to recalibrate?

Key Takeaways from the Keynote

The session unpacked real-world dilemmas that founders and leaders often struggle with—managing resources, staying true to your core, and finding the balance between ambition and sustainability. Haoming shared practical frameworks and hard-earned lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey and from scaling Louken Group into a leading brand transformation consultancy.

We were especially grateful to have Edric Poon, known to many as The Podsmith, moderate the session with sharp insights and an engaging presence that brought the conversation to life.

More Than a Talk—A Shared Moment

The atmosphere in the room was electric—filled with curiosity, ambition, and a sense of community. It was a valuable reminder that while the business path can be uncertain, we’re not walking it alone. Events like these remind us of the power of shared experience and collective growth.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organisers for inviting Louken Group to be part of such a dynamic platform. It was an honour to stand alongside a talented lineup of speakers and attendees who are shaping the future of business in Asia.

Here’s to more conversations that challenge us, more connections that inspire us, and more clarity in every business decision we make.
