Nadzmi said the BAM under his leadership had carried out various initiatives but produced only minimum results when only products like World number one Datuk Lee Chong Wei and men's doubles pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong came through the mill.
He added that the achievement of other shuttlers was a major concern and would certainly be a major challenge to the new president to find the right formula to produce world champions.
"As the President of the Badminton Asia Confederation (BAC), we had discussed how countries like China and South Korea are able to produce world class players continuously and within a short period of time.
"They are doing something that others are not doing. If we are going to follow what Indonesia or Thailand are doing, we are not going to change or improve. China has embarked on new approaches...we have to find that formula. If we continue to follow the old methods, I do not guarantee that we can succeed," he said.
"We have to invest in the right people and the right management, then you can get the answer," said Mohd Nadzmi.
He added that Malaysia needed psychology experts who understood badminton so that they can help National shuttlers to prepare physically and mentally.
"China too do not have this formula (specialist in psychology) but they integrate all the resources available to come up with a new resource system. It is the same with South Korea. But I could not find the formula for success that China and South Korea had adopted," he said.
Mohd Nadzmi also expressed confidence in the leadership of BAM's new president Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff to produce world class players.
