Optimise • Accelerate • Transform

EVENT OVERVIEW

There is no doubt that today’s business leaders are under duress. The past three years have shown that disruption is not only the norm but to be expected. The ongoing uncertainty, inflation, global economic, and geopolitical turbulences have created unprecedented challenges and disruptions in current businesses’ operating environments.

While we are always hopeful that things will eventually become less chaotic, as leaders it is incumbent upon us to build organisations that are resilient to disruption and adaptive to change. CEOs and his/her C-Suite team must forge ahead to meet their strategic business goals and key stakeholders’ expectations through relentless innovations and business transformation amid the changing dynamics.

Running in its fourth year under the theme of “Optimise, Accelerate and Transform” at C-Engage Convention 2023, we ask business, technology, finance, and operations leaders how they are laying out frameworks that will enable them to not only transform the business (and business model) but possibly innovate their way out of current and future crises.

At this year’s flagship event, we will cover:

  1. The essentials to outperform and be agile
  2. The future of work
  3. Managing the margin pressures in an inflationary environment
  4. Leading enterprise in the post digital transformation
  5. Closing the talent hole and managing the AI generation

KEYNOTE I: Accelerating AI and ML Adoption in Enterprise Business Systems

As organisations accelerate digitalisation with the infusion of AI and ML into their technology landscape, both IT and user organisations are grappling with the many approaches that could be adopted to achieve tangible results. While the attention is focused on front-end sales and customer engagement systems, the opportunity to leverage the vast volumes of quality data in the core enterprise systems is often overlooked. This session examines the proven and in-production use cases in the areas of business planning, financials and HR, to maximise the benefits of enhanced automation and decision-making through AI and ML in the digital core – the enterprise business applications.

PANEL DISCUSSION I: Continuing the Pace of Change: Unlocking Growth Opportunities and Tackling Challenges in 2024

The confluence of rising inflation and interest rate, tensions in geopolitical, regulatory changes, energy security, foreign exchange volatility, supply chain disruptions as well as climate change risk had reshaped CFO’s responsibilities in magnitudes. With things changing rapidly locally and globally, exacerbated by slowing growth, planning for 2024 is certainly not an easy task for finance leaders in Singapore. CFOs are required to drive the necessary transformations, be agile and flexible to capture new opportunities especially with the potential shrinking in customer demands as the world is likely or already in recession.

  • Doing more with less in the growing volatility, uncertainty complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) environment
  • Managing the margin pressures: How can finance leaders help accelerate recovery and ensure long-term sustainable growth post-pandemic?
  • Areas to raise and cut spending in 2024
  • Keeping pace with sustainable financing and ESG efforts in 2024
  • Navigating the changing tax landscape in 2024-2025

KEYNOTE I: Future of Finance – Tackling the Fundamentals

Global megatrends such as economic pressures, digital push, evolving customer landscapes and ever-changing regulatory environments drive the need for change and redefine the shape of the Future of Finance. However, many organisations must address fundamental core elements within the finance functions to embark on transformations, such as handling information, people readiness and adequacy, operating model definition, legacy policies and procedures, key data structures and many more. If not done well, these would eventually lead to transformation failures, misaligned expectations, loss of investments and underachieved benefits.

  • How best to begin your transformation journey
  • Addressing the fundamentals
  • Adopting new-age solutions sustainably to reap the maximum benefit and achieve your transformation goals

PANEL DISCUSSION II: Digital Transformation and Reality Gap: What’s Next Post Digitalisation?

Digital transformation saved many businesses when the pandemic struck. However, in reality, almost no organisation has finished their digitalisation journey. While most organisations are now more digitally mature and they are in a better position to thrive in the post-pandemic era, what businesses are asking for constantly evolves?

  • Advancing digitalisation initiatives vs. traditional work environments
  • Capitalising on digitalisation investment to stay resilient, flexible and efficient amidst escalating costs
  • Keeping up with digital acceleration while ensuring employee’s continuous engagement
  • Planning and sequencing finance transformation activities in 2024

Excitement around Generative AI (GenAI) is palpable, and executives rightfully want to move ahead with thoughtful and intentional speed.
