While I might not be quite sober right now, it's the perfect moment to spill my Thoughts about this trip. Among us, there are End-User Organizations, folks like me deep into education, and our Rockstar Sponsors.
What's burning in our hearts here is to snag a Victory for Singapore, a win that echoes through Organizations, and, most importantly, a triumph that sets the stage for our future Generations—your Children. In the midst of this whirlwind of ever-advancing Technologies, our North Star is collaboration. Private or public, it's about nailing successful and meaningful deployment, with our vendor comrades playing starring roles in the grand success narrative.
From where I stand, it's not just about me and my fellow Institute of Higher Learning warriors training workforces; it's about creating the kind of talent that can not only survive but thrive in both end-user and vendor realms. To the heavy-hitters of this study Trip, you're the titans of Singapore in technology leadership. When we lock arms and go all in together, the impact we create is a force to be reckoned with.
In my role, it's not just about promising top-notch foundational training for tech talent; it's about using NUS-ISS's neutral position to shake things up. I wish to help influence senior business bigwigs and board members, team up with tech providers, and craft a triple-win scenario.
Massive thanks, from the bottom of my heart, to the 15th CIO Study organization committee. Your selflessness in putting together this mind-blowing trip deserves a standing ovation. And to our sponsors and hosts, your role in turning our learning journey into a wild adventure—priceless. And to my comrades in this journey, your care and camaraderie mean the world.
Here's to tearing down walls and winning together like never before! Happy Birthday to Benny :) !!. Cheers to GenAI world!
