Innovation is more than just a buzzword. It’s a competitive
advantage and it’s a complex undertaking that requires an investment of time and
resources. Real innovation – the kind of breakthrough innovation that warrants a
Harvard Business Review case study – requires the right people in the right
place…and a culture that channels creativity, stimulates entrepreneurship and
encourages teamwork. Join our panel as they discuss the key roadblocks to
innovation (and how to address them) and how an innovative culture can be
fostered.
The panel will tackle timely topics
including:
- What are the key roadblocks for innovation to succeed? How do companies address these roadblocks?
- How to create innovative culture/DNA in a traditional large firm?
- How can companies leverage Asia as a platform for globalizing innovation?
The event will conclude with an
interactive Q&A followed by networking cocktails.

10. Sunday, 24th March, 6:00pm - 8:00pm - A Conversation on Singapore's Population Policy with Dr. Paul Cheung and Prof. Linda Lim - Organized by the University of Michigan Alumni in Singapore
The single most important issue facing Singapore today is its population—arguably too slowly-growing indigenously to maintain a desired rate of economic growth, too densely-packed for environmental and social sustainability, too dependent on large-scale foreign inputs for cultural and political comfort, and so on. Few experts are as well-qualified to comment on the subject from independent perspectives than Paul Cheung and Linda Lim, both Singaporean alumni of the University of Michigan
This UMAS session will feature brief comments by Linda on economic aspects, and Paul on social aspects, of Singapore’s population policy, including the recently-released White Paper on Singapore’s Population. Their comments will be followed by Q&A and open discussion.
