Issue 282, 5 Feb 2020

Dear Members and Friends

Normally, this e-newsletter is published every Tuesday. We’ve held this week’s issue to today to share a team photo with you taken at our annual lunar new year celebration. We took the opportunity to also celebrate our Chamber’s 183rd Birthday which will take place on 8 February.

Longevity is no guarantee of future success. We know that. We respect our past but are not defined by it. Instead, my team and I are resolutely focused on the present and the future of this Chamber, its members and Singapore.

That’s why SICC will be collaborating even harder to innovate and execute with purpose this year. Some of this will be a direct result of members’ feedback in focus groups and via a survey last year both independently conducted for us by your fellow member Republic Polytechnic.

Each member company will, as promised, be sent a soft copy of the report over the next few days. I would ask all members to please read the report and share it with your colleagues especially those in your marketing and strategy teams. If you or they have constructive ideas and suggestions for how your Chamber could provide more value to you and other members, I’d love to hear them at [email protected].

One opportunity my team and I will be exploring is IMDA’s terrific open innovation platform as we look to increase our member-centric focus through digitalization. www.openinnovation.sg
Watch this space.

Yours faithfully
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
