As some of you may know, Seek Sophie teamed up with the amazing team at Somewhere Else for our rebrand this year. Seriously, they are some of the most talented and hardworking creatives we've worked with.  Growing up I was always a lot stronger in the 'arts' subjects rather than the 'science' subjects. But I often felt that being good at anything creative wasn't taken as seriously as, say, math or science. At school even our 'arts' subjects were taught very much from a left-brain/logic perspective than a free-wheeling right-brain perspective. There was a right and a wrong way to be creative 🤔  But in recent years, building a business has shown me how fundamental creativity is to everything we do – because going from 0 to 1 is pure creativity. How do we dream up something that hasn't existed before, how do we tell our brand story in a way that sticks, and how do we grow something from zero? I felt like a big part of what I had to do in the past few years was to unlearn what I've been taught, so I could free myself to actually create.  That's why I'm really excited about this event where we get to talk about how to build creative teams, with some of the most creative people around. If you're curious about building creative teams, you may enjoy this!

In this installment of "Less is More," I share one CEO's approach to the yearly update yap yap speech. A week before the conference lift-off, he posted a short TED Talk-style company update and asked everyone to watch it before the big meetup. Upon hitting center stage, he began his hour-long scheduled talk with a direct question. '"Well, no pressure," he says, "but I'm curious, who here watched the video?" The laugh was large and a bit awkward. He says, "I won't ask for a show of hands, but I'll start and end with this ... Any questions?" He grabbed a chair, sat and waited. That was his speech. Brilliant, right? He said seriously, "There's nothing I could say here that would be better than hearing from my team." He took questions for about 20 minutes before bringing me up to do some funny motivational inspiration, but it was I who was inspired and schooled by a master communicator and true leader. All speakers in 2024 should feel less pressure to fill blocks of time and more pressure to create exchanges that meet the moment and add power and meaning. *** Tim Clue is a funny motivational and inspirational speaker, trying to help the modern-day conference stay with it and kick it. #funnymotivationalspeaker #motivationalspeaker  #inspirationalspeaker #conferencespeakers

Managing Singapore’s foreign worker quotas can be challenging. Work Permit quotas vary by sector—35% in services and up to 87.5% in construction.  - Additionally, quotas for workers from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) differ between manufacturing and services. This complexity requires careful planning.   Let me share a recent success story where we helped a client navigate these regulations effectively. Our client, a mid-sized construction company, was expanding rapidly and needed to hire more workers. They were unsure about the quota limits and the monthly levies they would face. They came to us for guidance on how to hire the right mix of local and foreign talent while staying compliant. Here's how we helped them: 📌 we started by assessing their current workforce and understanding their hiring needs. Using the quota calculator, we determined the optimal number of Work Permits and S Pass holders they could hire without exceeding sector limits. 📌 For roles requiring specialized skills, we recommended hiring Employment Pass (EP) holders. Since there are no quotas for EP holders, this gave them more flexibility. We ensured that the candidates met the minimum salary requirement. 📌We calculated the monthly levy costs based on the number of Work Permits and S Pass holders. This helped the client budget effectively and understand the financial implications of their hiring decisions. 📌To reduce dependency on foreign workers, we advised investing in training programs for local employees. We helped them access government grants and initiatives to support these training efforts. We provided continuous support by keeping them updated on changes in MOM regulations and advising on best practices for compliance. Our client successfully expanded their workforce while staying within the quota limits and managing their levy costs effectively. By hiring a mix of skilled EP holders and well-trained local employees, they built a strong, diverse team that supported their growth. Understanding Singapore’s foreign worker quotas doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right guidance and tools, it’s possible to stay compliant and build a thriving workforce.

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 (𝐕𝐂) 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠). A decade since the government's push to build Singapore's venture ecosystem - 2nd round of NRF's ESVF, birth of Seeds Capital, launch of Block71 etc., Singapore's VC scene is undoubtedly overcrowded (183 Venture funds licensed with MAS VCFM), with too many investors and insufficient good deals to deploy in Singapore and Southeast Asia.   Coupled with slowing economic growth, high Fed rates, geopolitical strain and not to mention the slowdown of Chinese hot money, Singapore's VC scene is bound for consolidation. And here is why:   1️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐏𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐄𝐀 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬. Notable startups in the region find themselves with much funding options leading to less than attractive investments done by VCs. Meanwhile, exits are relatively more difficult in comparison to other markets due to the lack of mature businesses in the region. Lack of growth stage focused funds in the ecosystem also hinders businesses pathway to IPO.   2️⃣ 𝐃𝐏𝐈𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬. Distributed to Paid-In (DPI) Capital in layman is the measure of how much LPs/Investors get paid relative to money invested. And it is currently at an all-time low. Multiple notable VC funds in the region rely heavily on recycled funds from LPs, riding on their success of high singles/low doubles from the heydays of VC (2018-21). Those numbers are not coming back anytime soon.   3️⃣ 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐅𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. High inflation and high unemployment are the 2 signals for feds to cut rate. Unfortunately, inflation rates in the US have come down and unemployment is currently lower than its long term average. There is simply no incentive for Fed's to cut rates. With rates that high, the incentive to park money with VCs for LPs/investors is simply unappealing in comparison to other asset classes.   With all that said, VC funds that has already found a formula, or are nimble enough to pivot amidst this climate, such as taking on a thematic approach, rebranding towards investing in next-gen sectors, or simply taking on a hands-on, deep value approach to VC, will emerge stronger.   What are your thoughts on this?

📢 Introducing EV Car Sharing Services in Rental Apartments! 🚗🔌 A new initiative has begun in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture. The Saitama Prefecture Housing Supply Corporation, in collaboration with a carーsharing service company, has introduced an electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing service in a rental apartment complex. This initiative aims to strengthen the region's disaster preparedness. In the parking lot of a rental apartment building where about 100 households live, an EV is available for car sharing. During emergencies or power outages, this EV is an emergency power source, supplying electricity to the community center. This allows residents to use devices like microwaves and water heaters, and the EV can charge smartphones up to approximately 2,000 times. This initiative demonstrates a new possibility for disaster preparedness, and it is hoped that similar efforts will spread to other regions. #DisasterPreparedness #EV #CarSharing #NiizaCity #SaitamaHousingSupply #CommunitySupport #DisasterRelief #SmartCity For more details: https://lnkd.in/eguWXsKJ For more insightful industry updates, follow Turnpoint Consulting Co., Ltd for regular news and analyses.
