SID Directors Conference
Since 2010, SID has organised a flagship annual Directors’ Conference, which is positioned as the one forum that board directors would want to attend each year.
SID DIRECTORS CONFERENCE
Asia's Renaissance
The new era of Recovery and Reopening
8 - 9 September 2021
An Asian Renaissance beckons as regional economies recover and rebuild from the throes of the pandemic. As organisations adapt to the new realities of today, many are looking ahead and exploring ways to emerge stronger. The march of the Asian decade is a source of growth and opportunities. This year’s SID Directors Conference returns with a hybrid format to look at emerging trends, through the perspective of industry players, regulators and thought leaders. The conference will cover themes around the new capitalism, geopolitical shifts, hyper digitalisation, focus on ESG (environmental, social and governance) and the global tussle for talent.
Breakout Tracks
The New Capitalism
Stakeholder capitalism has taken on new dimensions, with a renewed focus
on building a collaborative ecosystem. This broadens the corporate
network to include not just shareholders but employees, customers,
suppliers, partners, and the wider community. Is this embrace of a more
compassionate form of capitalism a lasting one, and if so, what are the
implications for boards?
Hyper Digitalisation
The rapid pace of technological advancement across areas like artificial
intelligence, 5G, blockchain technology and cyber security looks set to
continue. This session looks at some of the ways businesses can cut
through the hype and narrow in on potential differentiators and value
creators. In a hyper connected world, what are the key trends that an
organisation should pay attention to and invest in?
ESG at the Core
The sustainability agenda for boards has renewed focus on the
environmental and social impact equation. In the wake of Covid, business
leaders drew lessons from managing crises with the long term in view.
What are the key considerations for businesses to consider in
redesigning their ESG strategies in the Asian context?
Global Tussle for Talent
The future of work is becoming increasingly multi-layered. Businesses
are retooling and reskilling their employees to leverage on new
technology. This session looks at new ways to attract, retain, develop
and incentivise talent that are needed for organisations to stay nimble.
How can boards evolve their human capital strategy to thrive in the new
economy?
Shaping the Future of NonProfits in Singapore
An ageing population, digital acceleration and de-globalisation could
complicate the path to recovery. This session highlights how Asia can
prepare for unintended social disruptions and economic hardships. What
opportunities does this Asia Renaissance present for creating collective
impact and what can we learn from nonprofits that have ventured beyond
Singapore’s shores by partnership with other sectors?
