🔙 Last week, on 22 October, we held our annual GUBERNA - Instituut voor Bestuurders/Institut des Administrateurs Board of Trustees meeting at Delen Private Bank in Brussels, hosted by @Luc Bertrand, who passed on his role as Chair of the Board of Trustees to Gaëtan Hannecart. Luc’s exceptional leadership and invaluable insights over the past eight years have been instrumental to our organisation, and we will always hold his contributions in high regard. We look forward to the vision and guidance that Gaëtan will bring in his new role. 🌟We gathered high-level representatives of our premium corporate members and key stakeholders to discuss emerging governance trends, including #Climate, #AI, and #geopolitical issues. It was my pleasure to present these CG trends to the participants. Some key takeaways from our inspiring discussions: ✔️Transparency is crucial for navigating challenges and preparing for various scenarios. ✔️Boards must maintain leadership in strategy development. ✔️Radical transformation can lead to new opportunities. ✔️Balancing long-term vision with short-term priorities is essential, especially during crises. After the group discussions during lunch and the plenary reporting, our very own Sandra Gobert (she/her) provided the concluding remarks that summarised these takeaways. #corpgov #companies #corporategovernance

Sat down with Timothy Goh from The Straits Times ahead of our 22nd AGM to share about the emerging trends and challenges affecting Singapore, and how in that context, Singapore Business Federation can be relevant to our 30,000 members and the larger business community.    With >600 activities organised in 2023 that engaged 13,000 companies and 35,000 individuals, SBF is well poised to bring value to our businesses by strengthening our network of partners across both the government and private sectors.  You can catch a glimpse of our 2023 activities in this video. https://lnkd.in/gCPG5Gfm   As their trusted partner and leveraging on our unique convening role as the Apex Business Chamber, we can orchestrate and mobilise their resources, expertise and network to help our businesses build capabilities to be future-ready.   We have set ourselves an ambitious set of 2030 targets to double our number of partners from 150 to 300 and double the companies we engaged from 13,000 to 25,000. If we can do that, we project that our membership will grow by 1/3 from 30,000 to 40,000 by 2030.   Amidst the external uncertainties, internal constraints and the accelerated pace of change, the road ahead will not be easy as our businesses navigate through an “End of BAU” operating environment.    With the support of our members, stakeholders and Council, we believe SBF can be the partner to help businesses become future-ready for a globally competitive and sustainable Singapore.   https://lnkd.in/geYBvk5x

Very well said! COVID has accelerated businesses in technological adoption and also allowed for flexi-work arrangements. Climate change has also drawn attention to net-zero initiatives and sustainability practices, failing which businesses will eventually 'green-out' of the supply chain. In my humble opinion, IHLs could also support SBF's quest in helping businesses, by having our students to be the implementers of solutions through their final year projects and internships! It's a win-win situation where students are given real world problem statements to solve whereas businesses could gain access to young talents as future employees!
