PREREQUISITES
There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required.
Overview
Despite their best efforts, there inevitably remains critical gaps in strategy, capabilities and operational excellence. The focus tends to be on continuously improving their product or service, without paying enough attention to whether that improvement strengthens their competitive advantage. As such, it is crucial for business leaders to take an outside-in approach. This would help the company be more aware of the external environment, that includes evolving customer needs and wants, the competitive frame, longer-term sectoral trends, and changing social and market conditions.
The specific context of taking an outside-in approach for this course is to gain deeper learning and insights from businesses in another market. The chosen market, Taiwan, has a market environment with some common characteristics to Singapore’s. Taiwan Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) number 1.38 million, that is 97% of all enterprises in that market. They employ 78% of the workforce. More importantly, Taiwan SMEs have found practical and innovative solutions to overcome the challenges and support sustainable growth.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the 5-day course, participants will be able to:
- Appreciate the similar and different growth challenges Taiwan SMEs face
- Understand how Taiwan SMEs overcome growth challenges through innovative solutions
- Obtain deep and actionable insights that would help them develop practical solutions to their own growth challenges
- Develop an MVP based on insights and learning from Taiwan SMEs
- Open lines of communication and learning with targeted Taiwan SMEs – networking
