First task as a researcher or project lead?

 

#RingsABell 🔔 First task as a researcher or project lead? Often: "𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐅𝐏." 

SINGAPORE—Most researchers learn procurement 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠. And 𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠. This session fills the gap. Procurement isn’t one-sided. Neither is this first task.

The organization also trains project managers to evaluate vendors — shortlist, score, select. But rarely do they step into the room holding your hands across the table.

Tomorrow evening, @PMI Singapore Chapter hosts a practical session with @Colin Millward, unpacking procurement from both sides: ☑️ The project sponsor (buyer) ☑️ The vendor (seller)

Not theory. Not templates. Just how proposals are shaped before they reach us, and how trust gets built (or broken) in negotiations.

📢 I’ll be there tomorrow evening, not as a speaker, but as someone who values understanding how systems actually work, not just how we assume they do. As the Director, Professional Development, in the Chapter, I invite you, your colleagues and your friends to join us. No pitch. No noise. Just insight. —𝐌𝐲 𝐏𝐌 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 🧡

Creating Smiles at the Singapore Sports Hub 😄📷

SINGAPORE—Last Sunday, I moved through the carnival grounds as Event Ambassador for 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓. Not with speeches, but with a skillful camera partner and a handful of ice cream vouchers to bring smiles to the lucky children (who got to meet us before it ran out). 🍦 This was a rare opportunity for us as we can walk almost everywhere inside the National Stadium. Full ‘run’ of the National Stadium, even track walk on the sacred grass patch for a short moment! 🌿🤭

We snapped the community in motion:

✨ Families laughing in perfect queue lines (only here!)

✨ Kids bouncing off inflatable castles like tiny superheroes

✨ Lucky children grabbed 🍦 vouchers before they vanished 

✨ And yes, flocks of cheerful people, because that’s how we roll here.

No grand gestures, just showing up to capture the energy.

🙏 Grateful for the opportunity to witness the community in motion.

🙏 Grateful for the individual who makes "service" feel like a shared purpose.

🙏 Thank you Huimin and Ben from the Singapore Children’s Society

Every Event Is A Chance To Learn 💡📚

 

SINGAPORE—This time as an audience at the ADIE, I joined fellow innovators to explore digital transformation through the lens of regional leaders and practitioners. The discussions spanned across industries and sectors, in Singapore and Asia, from cloud infrastructure, finance to real estate management. 🏭⚙️ 

💬 One thread tied them all together: 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (AI) as the backbone of automation and decision-making processes across industries. We can see how the newer versions of the 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 (LLM) evolve, reshape businesses and how we do businesses globally. 🌍💼

Two Gratitude(s):

🙏 for every opportunity and space to stretch my perspective. Especially when it challenges my thinking.

🙏 for the new connection made with new people. 🤝 Always the hidden gem of onsite events.

Looking forward to the next event to learn something again. 🚀✨ —𝘔𝘺 𝘚𝘛𝘌𝘔 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺
