A full year of touch points for you and your team to create value together.

Abstract:
In their efforts to build high performing teams, most organizations focus exclusively on building the skills of their individual members, but do talented individuals guarantee you’ll have a cohesive team? In this session, we’ll discuss the “stuff” – the intangibles – that transform a collection of talented individuals into extraordinary teams; how leaders connect the passion of each team member to the achievement of the team’s common goal; and helping team members understand their responsibility as curators of the organization’s culture.

Key Take-Aways:

• An understanding of the necessity for team members to make individual sacrifices in order to achieve the team’s common goal/shared vision
• Best practices for communicating openly and honestly to foster a culture of trust
• Insight into leveraging daily, focused discipline to develop machine-like consistency

Abstract:
It’s time to account for the full toll that modern work is exacting on our ability to keep up with and stay ahead of the pace of change. With our boundaries broken down by a more interconnected world, time has proven to be an insufficient resource in this era. It is energy, not time, that is our most precious and undervalued resource to solve this extraordinary challenge.

Key Take-Aways:

• A practical and fresh perspective on the role of personal energy as a resource in your life to increase your capacity
• Critical insights on the choices you are making right now that impact your capacity
• A proven technique to improve your day to day energy

APAC Transformational Think Tank: Mobility Series:  A collaborative platform to introduce, share and discuss a diverse range of new ideas and provoke discussion on critical issues surrounding the future of mobility. This is where members engage with one another to share cross-industry perspectives on the forces shaping and driving new growth opportunities and areas of innovation.

Topic: Impact of Post-Pandemic New Normal on Mobility

• Redefining Mobility: The Pandemic placed attention on the “purpose” of mobility – rather than “mode” of mobility. Covid accelerated the adaptation of modes by purpose – especially with the onset of digitalization resulting in remote work and e-commerce.
•  As a lens to understand this issue, suggest to consider from the perspective of individual (private transport), society (public or shared mobility) and state (regulation).

1. Individual mobility significantly repurposed: Mobility for the purposes of getting to and from work (and shopping) will reduce for many industries. However likely to witness an increase in mobility for healthcare, hygiene and entertainment. Immediately after Covid, individual car sales have actually rebounded with high demand (pent up + unwillingness to take public transport). Greater awareness and sentiment to de-carbonize mobility (shared responsibility) but balanced with economic uncertainty. Also an increase in non-motorized mobility – with bicycle and walking increasing(for health and shorter travel.
2. Societal mobility likely to recover with incentives: Transport through public and shared mobility actually went down for passenger transport, with the public unwillingness to take crowded transport. Requires greater emphasis on sanitized transport and integrated 1st and last mile mobility integration (especially fare) to incentivize people to move back to public transportation. Shared mobility and public transport slowly recovering, but service and customization required to allow flexible utilization. MaaS as public transportation likely to be future approach (private MaaS unlikely to make business sense).
3.  Regulatory role becoming more important: Environmental concerns, energy self-reliance and optimization of costs (health, transport, oil) likely to drive states to be more prescriptive (however in a non-punitive manner) on urban mobility, with greater freedom for private players in suburban and rural markets.

Abstract:
The United States faces a looming threat to be displaced from its leadership position in technological advancements from China. As the race intensifies, businesses must prepare to discover, plan and implement a strategic vision that differentiates them from competition.

Key Take-Aways:

• Identify major technological shifts that will have a lasting impact on your business
• Derive understanding of future growth disruptions, opportunities and innovations in the mid-to-long term
• Explore necessary framework and steps to put in place for consistent trends and technology discovery

Abstract:
Many companies focus exclusively on short-term and incremental innovation, placing less effort on the long-term horizon (10+ years). Yet without a strong long-term strategy and aligned innovation goals, companies remain vulnerable to disruption. Solving the ongoing challenge of embedding long-term thinking within the organization’s innovation culture ultimately requires a clear, defined processes and strategic adaptability.

Key Take-Aways:

• Consensus on the best tools to use for long-term innovation
• Process insights for embedding long-term thinking within innovation culture
• Perspective on how to balance both short-term and long-term priorities

Topic: Growing influence of Digital Twins – Design and Implementation

The concept of Digital Twins – a virtual/digital representation of products, production systems, processes or performance – is becoming a critical tool with which to drive competitive advantage. Such cost-effective simulations are creating an environment where businesses can make errors and rectify them early, thereby significantly minimizing production costs and implementation risks for the end-user. Advances in Digital Twin technology are also allowing for more targeted deployment of scarce resources, channeling them towards development and quality enhancements. In the mobility industry, Digital Twin technology is being used to facilitate R&D, design and feature verification, data integration, streamlined product development, and enhanced operations. Among its wide range of benefits include accelerated production times, economical product testing, higher productivity, resource optimization, minimized downtime due to predictive maintenance, yielding superior overall outcomes in terms of customer satisfaction, vehicle performance and operational efficiencies.

Key Benefits of attending this Think Tank:

• Explore key use cases and applications
• Discover how Digital Twins can benefit business bottom lines and end-customers
• Understand where in the value chain it is likely to have the maximum impact
• Learn how companies can put together a Digital Twin and operate it for B2B customers
• Uncover what tooling needs to be enabled by the Digital Twin to support customer workflows
