in a Digital World
FT | IE Corporate Learning Alliance - Singapore Management University Breakfast Event
20 June 2017, Tuesday | 8.30am - 11.30am | SMU Administration Building
*** We are reaching full capacity and event registration will close at 2pm on Thursday, 15 June 2017.
According to the World Economic Forum, we are only at the beginning of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and digital disruption has already caused just over half of the companies that comprise the Fortune 500 to disappear since the year 2000.
The digital revolution is about customer-centricity and improving internal productivity. Companies are evolving business models to strengthen their digital innovation capabilities. Yet many struggle to translate new business models into a viable organisational structure and company culture.
The panel discussion will be touching on how companies can respond to the three main disruptive forces the world is facing today:
- Technology (automation and artificial intelligence)
- Pacific Pivot (the shift in economic power from west to east)
- Changing Demography (the ageing of society)
The panellist and speakers will address the following 3 major talking points:
Technology
How do we make working processes more nimble?
Do more companies need to adopt the agile management processes used in software - tighter feedback loops with customers, getting products to market faster? Are there limits to how easily this method can be deployed outside of software development? How can teams be organized to match flexible ways of working?
Pacific Pivot
Shifting powers from West to East
By 2025, half the world's biggest companies will be operating in emerging markets[1]. What does this mean for corporations? How can they understand their customers, where should they be based? What management techniques are required to run highly dispersed companies?
Demography
Low-cost labour will no longer deliver growth for Asia
In future, Asian countries will rely on their own consumers rather than exports. They will have to find productivity gains to keep growing. What does this mean for companies? How will they fill labour shortages as experienced workers retire? How can they keep an ageing workforce up to speed? And how can individuals maintain their employability while ageing?
