Ahoy! #EventAlert in Singapore 🇸🇬 for those keen to learn about how to become a #BoardDirector. In 2021, I was given the opportunity to establish the #NewDirectorsNetwork at the Singapore Institute of Directors. 🎩 tips to Howie, Su-Yen, Junie for reposing their faith in me. We had found an under addressed space in how an #Executive should chart their #NonExecutive journey, since deciding on which organisation to serve as a #BoardMember is a non-linear process that’s in contrast to the linearities of applying for a #CorporateFullTime role. Dial forward three years, and those early, tentative baby steps have become firm strides of a young adult; by hosting events where new and aspiring directorial candidates learn from those ahead of the curve. For our next event, we are delighted to be hosted by Kuan-Thye SEAN, Tan Tzann Chang . and their amazing team at The NUSS - National University of Singapore Society 🤝🫵🏼👌🏽🥂🎩 I will be hosting a panel discussion with Serene, Frank and Chee Weng Lam to share our journey and how much of it is or remains #AlwaysInBeta! 📆 July 16th, 2024 (Tuesday) 🕰️ 630pm, Registration & Canapés 📍Suntec City Guildhouse Function Room Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/gUEYhjbA Please ping Christopher Lee (email in the eDM) for all else. This event is open to non-NUSS and non-SID members and not just #Corporate or #Listed firms as well as #Startups, #Charities or #SMEs #BeThereOrBeSquare. #WelcomeAll

We're proud to have co-organised a customised programme with Vietstar and board directors from Vietnam, focusing on the key themes of Corporate Governance, Sustainability Strategies and Decarbonisation Pathways and Board Culture. This collaborative effort brought together industry experts and board directors to explore strategies that can drive both governance excellence and sustainable growth. Discussions were rich with insights on how boards can lead the way in ensuring a sustainable future while maintaining robust governance frameworks. A big thank you to Vietstar for the partnership and to all participants for their active engagement! Joe Keen Poon Sunil Kumar Yadav David Wilkins Neo S.

While the business landscape is shifting, many of the fundamental qualities that make for a successful board have not changed. Directors attending our latest Current Topic discussion last week drew insights from the experience of seasoned board members and corporate governance experts. Addressing real-life boardroom issues through creative role-play, the cast/speakers presented different perspectives: Chair, Independent Director, Regulator, Auditor, Shareholder, Management. Directors have to exercise due diligence, ask questions, support management, be accountable and engage stakeholders. #corporategovernance #boardsofdirectors

Directors charged or sued - what can we learn from recent cases? This was the theme of the recent Current Topic organised by Singapore Institute of Directors attended by some 120 directors, company secretaries, and regulators. The session started with a context setting by Adrian Chan, SID Vice Chair and Head of Corporate at Lee & Lee, where he dissected a recent high profile case to draw lessons (and questions) for directors. The panel moderated by SID Council member and Managing Partner at WongPartnership LLP Wai King Ng then presented three scenarios based on real cases, with each panelist taking turns to role-play various positions to illuminate the key issues to bring the learning to life. Due to sensitivity, the names and industry of the companies and individuals involved in each scenario where changed, but as the scenarios were all based on real life cases, the lessons drawn from the discussions were universal. Chatham house rules was enforced and no media was present to allow the panelists to be candid. There were many reflection points and key takeaways, but for me, the top three are: 📌 As a director, you have fiduciary duty. You are responsibility to supervise and monitor all aspects of the business, so you really need to always apply your mind. 📌 As a director, you can’t just rely on others to bring matters to light. You have a duty to ask questions, such as the impact of regulatory, licensing, compliance issues on profitability, financial conditions, and business viability. You’ve got to have the questions minuted down too. 📌 Section 157C of the Companies Act 1967 spells out that directors may rely on reports, statements, financial data, etc prepared or supplied by competent employees, professional advisers or experts. However, the caveat is that the director acts in good faith and makes proper inquiry. So it all boils down to: 👉 Act honestly and dutifully 👉Apply your mind 👉Ask questions === Big thanks to the esteemed panelists for bringing the lessons to life: Adrian Chan Wai King Ng Su-Yen Wong 黄素燕 Grace Ho Irving Low Gim Teik Soh Ong Jia Ni === Directors play a critical role in preserving and enhancing the value of organisations. It's a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Here's a comprehensive resource for directors. It's online and free - https://lnkd.in/g_UN2C8M If you would like to know the essentials of being a director, especially on the board of an SGX listed company, don’t miss the upcoming “Listed Entity Director Essentials” on 8 Oct. It’ll be in in-person class. Registration is now open https://lnkd.in/gq4BUNRP #Governanceforgood #directorship #duties

Thank you for being part of our recent SID Members Networking Session! Our guest speaker, Nishant Kasibhatla, delivered an inspiring talk on “The Director’s Edge: Memory Mastery for Peak Performance.” His ability to memorise a huge set of random numbers wowed everyone, and he shared practical memory techniques to enhance cognitive performance in the boardroom and beyond. Members connected over delectable Mexican-Korean canapes, unlimited chips + salsa, classic margaritas and more. We were delighted to have SID Council Members, both past and present, at our event as well (Su-Yen Wong 黄素燕, Philip Forrest AM, Ivan Ng, Dhirendra Shantilal). Special thanks to our partner Diligent for supporting our event. We were glad to have you with us - Ambili Nair, Dusk Lim, Ayano Sakuma, Irina Tjahjana, Lih Chin Ong! We look forward to meet everyone again at our next members networking event in November 2024. #SID #professionalnetworking #community #network #SIDevent #boardsofdirectors #governanceforgood SID Executive Team: Terence Quek | Lee Edwin | Ryan Leow | Calis Cheah | Vidya Ramnani | Edith Neo

Under what circumstances should independent directors evaluate their decision to step down from a board?
