Every year, Canon Singapore hosts its signature ‘Think Big’ Leadership Business Series and 2024 is slightly different from the norm.
With the theme “The Year of Elections – Surviving and Thriving Amid Political Changes,” this year’s conference promised more than just the usual corporate playbook.
Taking place over two action-packed days from 29 to 30 October, the event was designed to equip business leaders with the tools and insights to navigate a world that’s shifting fast.
Day one dove straight into the heart of Singapore’s evolving political scene with a session titled The Vision for Singapore, According to 4G. It’s all about how the next-gen leadership could reshape the policies that impact businesses and the workforce. And for the first time, there’s a dedicated Mandarin segment in the afternoon.
Day two zooms out to the global stage with The World in 2025, a forward-looking analysis of geopolitical currents and their ripple effects on businesses here in our Little Red Dot.
Speakers like Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, graced day one, and Chan Heng Chee, Ambassador-at-Large, stole the spotlight on day two.
Day two’s Flex Forward segment focuses squarely on the new Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests (TG-FWAR), effective from December 2024.
In collaboration with TAFEP and SME Centre@SCCCI, this session aims to demystify these new rules. Whether you’re a sceptical traditionalist or a digital nomad-in-waiting, the segment provided something for everyone.
Of course, the event was field with new AI technologies. Canon’s ‘Towards AI’ technology showcase provided a glimpse into the future of work, where AI tools take the grunt out of mundane tasks.
The crown jewel was Antelope Genie, Canon’s latest AI-powered content management solution. Using large language model technology, it automates content extraction, analysis, and even summarisation.
So why does all of this matter? Canon’s Head of Enterprise Business, Vincent Low, sums it up best: “We’ve been helping businesses thrive for 45 years, and this year’s theme underscores our commitment to staying ahead of the curve.”
Amid global uncertainties and evolving workforce expectations, Canon’s ‘Think Big’ solutions are lifelines for businesses looking to future-proof their operations.
Whether it’s through smarter workflows, AI-driven insights, or embracing flexibility, the message is clear: survival isn’t just about adapting; it’s about thriving.
