Starting the new year in Singapore 🇸🇬 brings fond memories from the years I lived and worked there. Seeing the city is also a timely reminder of the power of strategic planning and goal setting which I experienced first-hand during my time at the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). Singapore is a city state that was built from scratch and has transformed itself to one of the richest countries in the world despite having no natural resources of its own. Their secret? An intense focus on strategy-first, outcome-focused long range planning. Clear goals, measurable results, and an intentional vision for the short, medium, and long term, which includes looking fifty years ahead. The EDB didn’t just attract foreign investments to grow key manufacturing and services sectors, they designed an ecosystem that brought the jobs and the talent to the country making Singapore one of the most desirable places to live and work in Asia. There are many lessons from Singapore’s long-range planning process that can be directly applied to businesses. We need more long term thinking, clearer vision, and intentional goal setting. As we enter 2024, let's take a page from Singapore's playbook. Let's craft intentional and measurable strategies that inspire, guide, and deliver measurable success. Pictured below is a view of the harbor from Singapore's financial district.

Along with this growth comes a lot of dynamic change. Make sure you are up-to-date on living costs and other dynamics across Asia. hashtag #AsianTigersGroup hashtag #RelocationExpert hashtag #LetsGetMoving

This is how it should be: Singapore’s remarkable transformation from a struggling slum to a thriving First World nation is a testament to the power of Meritocracy, Pragmatism, and Honesty (MPH). These values propelled the country forward, and they are exactly what we need from our political leaders today. We demand the same unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity from those in public office. If you can't rise to this standard, then public governance isn't your place. Go ahead, earn your trillion dollars as an entrepreneur through hard work and dedication. That's your achievement to be proud of. But remember, public office is a sacred trust. It's not a place for personal profit, regardless of your beliefs. Together, let's uphold these principles and strive for a better future.

Asia is becoming the world’s ‘majority’ in many key economic metrics. MGI partner Jeongmin Seong 成政珉 explains how Asia was the great beneficiary of globalization over the past 30 years – capitalizing on the defining trends: deepening global connections, rapid digital adoption, and broadening urbanization and capitalization. But Asia will face a heightened version of the world’s new global challenges in five domains – world order, tech platforms, demographic forces, resource and energy systems, and capitalization – each of which we explore in our report ➡️ mck.co/AsiaCusp
