OCS leadership reviews priorities, accelerates key initiatives

Only 10% of STI30 companies spotlight stakeholder engagement through case studies. That means most are missing a key chance to prove their commitment to listening and responding to those who matter most. Stories matter — they bring strategy to life and build trust beyond numbers. Stakeholder engagement shouldn’t just sit in a table of topics and channels. It needs to be told through bold pictures and compelling prose that highlight the purpose of the engagement, the outputs from the conversations, and the impact on decisions. In this thought-leadership webinar presented by Black Sun Global, this session draws into an in-depth review of the STI30, uncovering how Singapore’s leading companies are engaging stakeholders and where opportunities exist to strengthen communication and trust. Join us as we share actionable insights from our STI30 analysis and explore practical steps for companies to engage stakeholders more effectively in today’s evolving business landscape.

Understanding cultural misalignment and addressing them early is key to leadership cohesion in an M&A. Part 2 talks about why assessing cultural gaps early and during a deal helps leaders bridge differences and drive unified performance.

A £6.4 million saving proves that performance and culture aren’t a trade-off. Build them together, and they become multipliers. A highways partnership needed to deliver £5m in savings to secure a five-year extension. Together, we surpassed that target - delivering an extra £1.4 million in efficiencies while also building a culture that aligned behaviours, broke down silos and laid the foundations for sustained impact. In our latest case study, we share: 🔎 How the programme achieved an ROI in excess of 10:1 in just two years 🔎 The targeted mix of process and behavioural change behind the £6.4m savings 🔎 The One Team culture that aligned leaders across multiple delivery partners If you’re leading a joint venture, framework, or strategic alliance, this is how cultural change delivers measurable business impact.

Teams are the engine of business performance and where organizational culture is most tangibly experienced by people in the daily rhythms of work. That’s why teams are such a powerful - yet often underexamined - lever for embedding inclusive processes and behaviours, and for shaping a more inclusive culture across organizations. Our High Impact Inclusive Teaming (HIIT) Framework and Assessment identify the factors and behaviours that drive both high performance and a climate of inclusivity. Grounded in an extensive literature review and insights from our global 360° Inclusive Leadership Compass database, the HIIT Framework and Assessment brings together the science of teaming, inclusion, and business performance outcomes. We’re now conducting a statistical validation study to test the robustness of the tool across industries and geographies - and we’re inviting organizations to participate. 🧭 What’s involved - Participation is at no cost - Organizations nominate one or more intact teams to complete the online HIIT Assessment (10–15 minutes) in November - Individual responses are anonymous; results are aggregated at the team level 🌟 What organizations receive 1. A team-level report (and, if multiple teams participate, an optional aggregated organizational/divisional report) 2. Practical, everyday tactics teams can use immediately to strengthen collaboration and foster inclusion 3. Access to the study’s broader findings, including which factors and behaviours most influence team performance and inclusivity. Further information is attached.
