What does it take for SMEs to scale beyond Singapore? At the “Grow Local, Scale Regional, Compete Globally” conference, co-organised by SME Centre North West and SIM, Mr Seong Kim Ho, CEO of SIM Academy, drew on the Strategic Enterprise™ framework to share how strengthening core organisational capabilities can help SMEs navigate the complexities of regional expansion and build a foundation for sustainable growth.​
​
A key takeaway from his session, “Unlocking Regional Growth: How Core Capabilities Drive SME Expansion”, was that sustainable growth starts with getting the fundamentals right. For SMEs looking to expand, this means:​
🔹 Addressing inefficiencies before taking on the complexities of new markets.​
🔹 Defining roles and decision-making authority to drive business outcomes.​
🔹 Building capable teams and fostering a culture of trust to support organisational effectiveness.​
​
Regional expansion is more than entering new markets. It requires building an organisation that can adapt, scale, and deliver results sustainably. Through initiatives and industry engagements like these, SIM continues to support enterprises in building the capabilities needed for long-term growth.

🎉 That's a wrap on our first AI Workflow Transformation Lab!

Many professionals have tried AI tools, but far fewer know how to turn that usage into real, measurable business value. That's the gap this programme, organised in collaboration with Preface, sets out to close.

In our inaugural run, managers from finance, IT, and a range of other functions came together for a hands-on, one-day course to rethink how they work with AI. Participants learnt to pinpoint the business pain points worth solving, map their current workflows, and assess where AI can create genuine value. They then redesigned selected processes into AI-ready workflows thatthey can take back to their teams.

The feedback says it best:

💬 "An eye-opening course that gave me a whole new perspective on how AI agents can go beyond assisting with tasks to transforming the way we work." – Senior Finance Manager

A big thank you to all our participants for making this first run such a success!

Ever had a team member come to you with a problem and your first instinct was to tell them what to do? It’s a natural response. When you have the experience and know how to fix something, giving the answer can feel like the most helpful thing to do. But sometimes, a better approach is to pause and ask a question instead.

At SIM Academy’s webinar, Coaching for Leaders: Unlocking Potential and Driving Performance, Dr Henry Toi, certified coach and author of Think.Thrive.Coach, explored how we can move from simply solving problems to helping others think through them.

Instead of immediately asking, “Why did this happen?”, consider exploring what the person was thinking, what they noticed and what they might do differently next time. Good coaching isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating the space for others to find their own. With patience, curiosity and practice, coaching conversations can help others build confidence, reflect more deeply and take greater ownership of their challenges.

The next time someone comes to you with a problem, could you ask a question before giving the answer? Want to build more effective coaching conversations at work? Explore SIM Academy’s Lead, Coach, Inspire: Everyday Techniques for Powerful Conversations at https://ow.ly/ee4j50ZSg3G.

Where has AI actually earned its keep? What is really holding back the business leaders who have not taken the leap? And how do we scale AI adoption without compromising cyber resilience?​

These were some of the questions at the centre of the Affordable AI for SMBs Forum, organised by Singapore Business Circle and Singtel, and graced by Guest of Honour, Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State at the Ministry of Health & Ministry of Digital Development and Information..

Over 80 C-suite and business leaders came together to explore the AI advantage and tackle essential questions around unlocking business value from AI and scaling it safely. The session was co-led by SIM Academy’s AI Programme Architect, Ms Michelle Yeo, and Singtel’s Senior Director, Mr Wilson Tan, with SIM Academy CEO Mr Ho Seong Kim among the table facilitators steering the conversations.​

To help leaders move from strategy to ex*****on, the session also spotlighted the AI.dea Programme, co-developed by Singtel and SIM Academy, which offers eligible SMBs SkillsFuture funding support to build structured AI roadmaps and test a real-world proof of concept.​

You might already be using AI to draft an email, summarise a document or brainstorm ideas. But are you making the most of it in your day-to-day work?

The AI Workflow Transformation Lab, offered by SIM Academy in collaboration with Preface, takes you beyond simply using AI tools.

In this hands-on programme, you will take a real workflow from your own work, identify where AI can make a difference, and redesign it into a more effective, AI-ready process.

Ready to move from simply using AI to working smarter with it? Check out our upcoming course at https://ow.ly/M6we50ZPYwY.

Registration closes on 16 October 2026.

Ever notice how when a company underperforms, "people problems" get blamed first? Poor communication, low morale, the wrong hires but rarely does anyone stop to ask if the real issue is structural.

That is the gap we are addressing in an upcoming webinar with Ho Seong Kim, CEO of SIM Academy. Over 1 hour, we will explore why performance issues often are not about strategy or talent at all; they are about missing the right language to diagnose what's actually broken beneath the surface. ​

Using the Strategic Enterprise™ framework, you will walk away with practical tools to spot friction points in your organisation's structure and design, and turn strategy into results you can actually measure. If you have ever felt like you are solving the wrong problem, this session is for you. Register now at https://ow.ly/IGos50ZKucr.

Have you ever had a great idea at work, only for it to go nowhere? Innovation is not just about having good ideas. It is also about creating the right environment for people to experiment, learn from what does not work and turn ideas into meaningful improvements.

In SIM Academy’s webinar on Systems Thinking for Innovation and Change, Mr Thomas Lim, Dean of SIM Academy’s Centre for Systems Leadership, explored how organisations can make innovation a more consistent part of the way they work. From having the confidence to experiment to creating simple ways to share and build on what works, small changes in how we work can help good ideas go further.

Ever feel like something at work is not working, but you are not quite sure what the problem is? Sometimes, the issue is not about people not working hard enough. It could be how roles, responsibilities and ways of working are designed.

At SIM Academy's recent Organisation Design: Accountable Work Systems Design & Optimisation course, participants explored how to better understand the systems behind common workplace challenges, from cross-team friction and unclear accountabilities to talented people struggling to meet expectations.

One participant shared that she had long felt that something was not working in her organisation but struggled to put her finger on what it was. Through the course, she gained a structured framework and shared language to better understand the issue and identify possible changes.

Sometimes, gaining clarity is the first step towards making work work better. Learn more about SIM Academy's Organisation Design: Accountable Work Systems Design & Optimisation course at https://ow.ly/Zypq50ZGnHE.

Ever feel like getting work done is harder than it should be? Maybe responsibilities are not always clear, decisions take too long, or getting different teams on the same page feels like a challenge. Sometimes, the issue is not about individual performance. It could be how roles, responsibilities and ways of working are designed.

At SIM Academy’s recent Breakfast Briefing, “Designing Organisation and Building Sustainable Systemic Structure for Success”, leaders explored how organisation design can shape the way people collaborate, make decisions and get work done. The discussion also touched on how stretch assignments and meaningful conversations can support professional growth and why, even as AI helps us work faster and make sense of information, people still need to take ownership of important decisions.

Want to understand how better organisation design can improve the way work gets done? Explore SIM Academy’s IHRP-accredited, SkillsFuture-funded Organisation Design course at https://ow.ly/VUV850ZF13S.
