One of the key highlights of the<br />
programme was the opportunity for<br />
these young talents to get up close and<br />
personal with Group CEO Samuel Tsien<br />
(photo on page 6). Besides hearing about<br />
OCBC’s corporate strategy, the young<br />
talents had a 90-minute fireside chat<br />
where they raised burning questions, both<br />
professional and personal.<br />
Besides Sam, the young talents had the<br />
chance to interact with business leaders<br />
across our core markets and entities as<br />
this week encouraged them to seek a<br />
global perspective.<br />
They were given the platform to<br />
engage industry leaders and speakers,<br />
from major companies such as Olam<br />
International and Schneider Electric, on<br />
mega trends impacting the banking and<br />
finance industry and understand how<br />
these companies are leveraging new<br />
technologies, and finding out ways of<br />
working and collaborations.<br />
Another key aspect of Regional Week<br />
was getting exposure to cutting-edge<br />
technology. Our young talents visited<br />
Accenture Innovation Centre (above),<br />
Mastercard Innovation Hub and our own<br />
OCBC Group Regional Data Centre at<br />
Tampines Centre 1, for an eye-opening<br />
experience of the latest innovations<br />
available in the finance industry.<br />
At the end of the programme, the young<br />
talents had to apply what they learnt<br />
through a Business Model Analysis<br />
Competition. They had to analyse how<br />
an innovative company had evolved to<br />
take advantage of new opportunities and<br />
respond to new forms of competition,<br />
then apply it to the OCBC context.<br />
Jason Ho, head of Group Human<br />
Resources, said: “The Regional Week is<br />
customised to enable you to navigate the<br />
VUCA environment. The organisation will<br />
take care of you by providing you with<br />
resources such as a learning ecosystem<br />
and our regional networks. You’ll need<br />
to own your development and growth in<br />
this organisation to be where you aspire<br />
to be.”<br />
Watch highlights of the OCBC Young<br />
Talent Regional Week and hear from some<br />
of our Young Bankers.<br />
Thoughts from a few of our Young Bankers<br />
“We had the chance to share our experiences<br />
with one another and, at the same time hear<br />
from our leaders, gain a broader perspective<br />
into the bank and the things we do together.<br />
This network and the friendships that we<br />
built is really what I found most meaningful<br />
during the regional week.” – Ong Jia Hui (Singapore),<br />
Group Financial Control & Advisory<br />
“Be the difference, we see you!” The theme of<br />
the regional week encouraged us to embrace<br />
our uniqueness and be courageous to make<br />
the first move. The fireside chat with Sam<br />
and other regional heads delivered the same<br />
message – step out your comfort zone, accept<br />
new challenges and most importantly enjoy<br />
life!” – Abraham Kwak (Hong Kong), Relationship<br />
Manager for small and medium enterprises<br />
“The heartfelt discussions with the leaders<br />
and participants across the regions, as well as<br />
their insights and conversations were priceless<br />
and extremely impactful.” – Joey Goey<br />
(Malaysia), Card Ops<br />
“I was so inspired by speakers who attended<br />
during the week, specifically the session<br />
delivered by Sam. I got to understand unique<br />
business strategies and experiences from different<br />
business leaders about their respective<br />
fields in and outside OCBC.” – Kemal Caesar<br />
Sutama (Indonesia), Market and Liquidity Risk<br />
Management<br />
