To support the businesses during this pandemic, the Singapore government is ramping up the funding support for companies to take on transformative digital automation projects. Automating your processes through digitalization can lead to revenue growth, cost savings, and improved customer and employee experiences.
During this session, the panelists discussed grant eligibility criteria and explored the purpose, the pros, and the cons of various grant programs, as well as how to improve the chances of grant approval.
They also discussed how you and your employees can tap on the SkillFuture Credits to upskill and train and be ready to adapt to the changes in the market, acquire the skills required during the implementation of these digital automation projects.

We need to be creative to be innovative. But the relentless push to innovate faster is producing a toxic culture that may undermine the whole creative process. In our rush for end results fast, we could ironically be killing the very thing that will lead us to innovation: creativity. Creativity and innovation are not interchangeable words, and it’s important for effective businesses to understand why. In this session, we explore why we need both and the paradoxes behind this that can impact our work.
Innovation is key for organizational transformation - but to prepare for innovation there needs to be both a culture of creativity (at the organization level) and creative thinking mindset and skill development (at the personal level). There are no shortcuts, and this is why many companies that only focus on embracing design thinking, agile, digital, and other innovation activities & tools (such as innovation labs, hackathons, sprints, scrum, and design thinking models) often fail.

This fireside chat with Andrew Grant and Dr. Gaia Grant (the authors of several books including: “ Who killed creativity? and how can we get it back? And “The Innovation Race”) will focus on the potential psychological and neurological blocks to critical and creative thinking, and the practical process leaders can engage in with practical strategies to achieve more innovative results in themselves, their team, and their organization.

“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that is very applicable to mentoring.

Our “village” has never been more necessary than it is today. We live in a fast-paced, instant information, and pressure-packed world.
Mentees also go through different stages in life, play multiple roles, that require different types of mentors, and at times more than one mentor for different parts of their life. Different mentors, with their own unique set of skills and mentoring expertise, can work with mentees to give them a well-rounded and multi-faceted mentoring environment.

This discussion is about collaboration and partnerships you need to build as a mentor with your peers to support your mentee in the best way possible.
