SIM GE inspires collaborative human capital development in the new world of work

Put together a diverse group of speakers representing talent economics, HR entrepreneurship (or, HR-preneurship), education and technology - and you've got a great forum on the new world of work.

That's what SIM Global Education's Industry Forum 2016 was about, held on March 11 at the SIM headquarters, on the theme of "collaborative human capital development in the new work world", supported by Human Resources magazine as media partner.

Lim Mei Mei, director of the business and marketing relations division, as well as special projects, at Singapore Institute of Management, set the tone early in the day, with the commentary on how globalisation is moulding the shape of talent today.

She said, to approval from the audience: "The Maggi mee, or instant noodle generation, i.e. fast-to-cook-good-to-eat generation, seeks accelerated paths to leadership and managerial positions.

"It is time for creativity in education and professional development, bold leadership and a fundamental re-imagining of the HR practices."
