From Excellence to

Innovation

Vertical Development Event
Singapore

24 & 25 April 2O24

8.3O AM to 12.3O PM

About the Event

Singapore’s incredible success as a nation is built on a solid foundation of capability, ingenuity and excellence across many industries and sectors. However, our organisations are facing an increasingly complex and unpredictable environment that demands innovative new ways of thinking. Our leaders and teams are realising that the formula for our success thus far may not be enough to secure our future.

There are 3 key questions we need to unpack:

Beyond
Excellence

In the face of adaptive challenges, how can we go beyond technical knowledge, skills, and excellence to effectively navigate the complexities of our time?

Elevating Organisational
Culture and Mindsets

As the complexity of our environment continues to increase, how can we elevate the cultures and mindsets within our organisations to shift behaviours and transform?

Leveraging AI and Cutting-edge
Learning Methods

Leadership is not a role allocated to a few but an active verb, and we need to scale high-quality growth at all levels of our organisations. How can we harness the power of AI and leading-edge learning methods to build sustainable capacity?

Our organisations and people are facing increasing complexity and volatility both within and outside of the workplace. There is a growing awareness within organisations that the “old” ways of working are proving unsustainable for business and unhealthy for our people who are voting with their feet as a result.

Bringing together leading experts in Vertical Development, innovators in AI-driven cultural change, and key industry players, we will explore real-world case studies on how top organisations around the globe are navigating these challenges and building sustainable performance and growth. They will share insights from the latest global research on:

  • Diagnosing where individuals, teams, or organisations are on the “burnout” spectrum
  • Finding the sweet spot that integrates employee growth and retention with organisational performance (dispelling the myth of the trade-off)
  • The shifting role of leaders in creating an environment of psychological safety for growth
  • Emerging practices in the proactive empowerment of employees to manage their mental resilience in the pursuit of excellence and innovation
Session Benefits:
  • Creates exceptional clarity into how your current work approach is impacting you now and in the future
