I am now Certified as a Senior Practicing Management Consultant! 🎉   Friends, I'm thrilled to share a personal milestone: I've recently been certified as a Senior Practicing Management Consultant by the Singapore Business Advisors and Consultants Council (SBACC)!   Why does this matter? Well, it's not just another accolade to add to the wall. This certification is a testament to the journey I've been on since 1996, working with amazing clients to drive real business impact through transformation and change and embedding culture.   In today's BANI world (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, and Incomprehensible), we're all facing unprecedented challenges. As an entrepreneur for 28 years myself, I've experienced firsthand how running a business is becoming increasingly complex. That's why I'm passionate about supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) – the backbone of our economy.   Here's the exciting part: This Senior PMC certification opens up new possibilities for me to support SMEs in a more impactful way. It allows me to undertake consulting projects eligible for government funding, like the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG). This means SMEs can access top-tier HR consulting with up to 50% funding support!   I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to make a difference. Through ODE Consulting®'s three-pronged approach of Learning, Coaching and Consulting, we're ready to help businesses not just survive, but thrive in these turbulent times.   ⭐ So to all my SME friends out there: Let's connect! I'd love to explore how we can work together to grow your business and create positive change not just in your business but also in our community.   #ManagementConsulting #SMESupport #BusinessGrowth #CultureTransformation #BANI #lifelonglearning #coaching

What does it take to transform good leaders into great ones? At YPO, it's all about connection, learning, and growth. Last week, I had the privilege of spending time with 15 professional facilitators in Hong Kong, all dedicated to creating transformational learning experiences for leaders. What struck me most was the incredible power of YPO Forums, where members from diverse backgrounds come together in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. In these Forums, leaders don't just share challenges—they explore the emotions and experiences that shape their leadership journey. This level of vulnerability and connection is what drives real change and growth. How are you fostering deeper connections and growth in your leadership journey? #LeadershipDevelopment #ForumPower #YPO https://lnkd.in/gyV9JMjD

The strategies that served us well in the past no longer hold the same power. Success hinges on a strategic trifecta: prediction, adaptability and resilience. These capabilities are essential for navigating the complexities of our current era, where the contours of opportunity and risk have dramatically transformed. Allocating resources across these three areas requires a new strategic approach—one that abandons the search for a single solution in favor of continuous awareness, experimentation and execution. This dynamic strategy enables businesses to anticipate profitable trends, adjust their approaches swiftly and safeguard against unexpected challenges. Embrace this triad of capabilities to chart a course for growth and stability in an unpredictable world. https://lnkd.in/g7sTkB89 Via Dunigan O’Keeffe et al. from HBR #BusinessStrategy #Leadership #Adaptability
