We had the opportunity to hear from Mr. Robin Speculand, CEO of Bridges Business Consultancy Int and Co-founder of Strategy Implementation Institute and Digital Leadership Specialists, Mr. Kevin Chan, Chief Partner Officer, Microsoft Singapore and Ms. Sneha Tyagi, Head of Strategy, Marketing & Communications, APAC, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Siemens, in a panel conversation to discuss how leaders can shape their digital strategy and create a culture of innovation and agility to better adapt to technological changes. This discussion was moderated by Mr. Adrian Guttridge, Corporate VP, WNS.

Here’s what we learnt:

🚀 Effective leadership is the catalyst for driving digital transformation and shaping the narrative for change.

🚀 Organizations should foster a culture of innovation by empowering their employees to always be curious, create a safe space for everyone to experiment and take calculated risks.

🚀 Identify your digital ambition and adopt reverse mentoring – learn from the experts in your company. The digital transformation framework should be flexible to create an agile infrastructure that will become the core of the organization’s digital transformation.

🚀 Having great technology does not guarantee great customer experience. Businesses must continue to evolve and adapt to work towards the greater digital ambition.

🚀 Leverage the data operating model and embrace Gen AI as an accelerator that enhances efficiency and productivity.

🚀 Traditional management styles are no longer relevant in this digital age where the status quo is challenged to embrace change with constant learning, communication, and feedback. These work in parallel with the speed of digital adoption.

Thank you, once again to our expert speakers and to our audience for a very spirited discussion.
