Business Model Innovation for B2B Engineering Solutions Provider
As the pandemic brings about significant disruptions globally, business transformations have become imperative. However, this is a complex step which requires immense commitment from all stakeholders of a company. Just last week, I concluded the 2nd half of a programme to help a client develop their strategic business growth plan.
At the end, the teams managed to cross-pollinate ideas and came up with a few innovative initiatives to add to their business roadmap.
Digital High Impact Sales Online Training for B2B Cable Solutions Provider
Digital High Impact Sales Online Training for Singapore Business Federation
Developing a better understanding of customers has never been a more strategic necessity, with more than 90% of B2Bs having transitioned to a virtual sales model during COVID-19. The increasing new environments, technologies & business models are changing what customers need, want & how they make decisions. Yet, many companies still treat insights as an afterthought, placing emphasis on information instead.
Our Founder & Managing Director, Ms Vivien Koh, has conducted a 3.5hr online training at Singapore Business Federation in July 2020.

Reinventing Your Business Model For Wholesale Distribution
For decades, wholesale distributors serve as middlemen between consumers and manufacturers. With accelerating digital transformation, we are experiencing rapid evolving business models, intense competition and more empowered customers.
Today, traditional wholesalers and retailers are concerned with this distribution disruption and there is a need for wholesalers to respond fast, adapt and be more agile. Many distributors are responding with cost cutting measures to sustain and improve their business fundamentals but today’s disrupted forces requires a more fundamental shift in the business model.
Our Founder & Managing Director conducted VKT’s first Digital High Impact Sales training (PSMB approved) to help one of the businesses from her hometown, Penang, to upskill their sales team. Based on a CSO report, in 2016, only 50% of sales reps attained their quota, as compared to 63% in 2012, & this is still decreasing. Given the dynamic environment, unsurprisingly, firms find difficulty in adapting to the changing mindsets & habits of customers. I had an exciting morning helping the team uncover customer insights, align their sales culture & adopt new virtual selling strategies to better influence & generate customers through a customised program.

Can Critical & Creative Thinking be Taught or Leaned?
Our Founder and Managing Director, Vivien Koh was invited to be part of a great panel discussions at SGInnovate with the majority of the participants think that creativity & critical thinking skills can be taught or learned. Some of the key insights from the panel:
-Effective complex problem solving requires diverse team members and strong collaboration amongst them
-Design Thinking helps to enable innovative problem solving through user-centric
-Old way of doing things will kill innovation
To be updated
As the future of work unfolds, what makes us human is what will make us employable. In this light, we look to research and learning sciences where personal and social capabilities are discussed and seek directions on how skills sought after in the future may be developed.
Can critical thinking and creativity be taught or learned?
Most will agree that human beings are creatures of habit. Based on this premise, one would think that critical thinking and creativity are skills and thus can be taught or learned. However, there is a problem with this notion if we think about creativity as a talent, presumed to be an aptitude, or the ability to be good at something without being taught or in the case of critical thinking, it is an innate quality that implies one may not be trained or nurtured to think more critically. In this interactive session, we explore Pearson’s research on the Future of Skills and the Skills for Today whitepapers, specifically on Critical Thinking Skills and Creative Thinking, and discuss how employers can support skill development.
