A little reset can make a big difference in the middle of a busy workday. ✨💆‍♀️

As part of our Happy Workplace Initiative, our Facilities Management team partnered with the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗛) to bring a wellness experience to staff, while supporting a meaningful community cause. It was a chance to pause, recharge, and unwind during the workday.

Because workplace wellness is not just about getting things done. It is also about creating moments of care and relief that help staff feel recharged, appreciated, and ready to take on the day.

💛 A big thank you to our Facilities Management team for thoughtfully organising this initiative.

As organisations race to adopt GenAI, turning potential into measurable outcomes remains the real challenge. This was at the heart of today's seminar, 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗺: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁, where industry leaders explored how organisations can bridge that.

Through candid perspectives, one message stood out: 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁. It is about solving the right problems, measuring outcomes, and redesigning how work gets done.

The conversation highlighted several key takeaways:
• 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 and measurable outcomes, not AI for the sake of AI
• 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, oversight, and accountability
• 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 while developing adaptable talent and future-ready skills

The discussion also challenged common fears around disruption. While roles may evolve, new opportunities will emerge for those who can combine human expertise with AI capabilities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our panellists, 𝗠𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗲 (Solutions Engineering Manager, 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱), 𝗗𝗿 𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 (Vice President, Head of AI Lab, Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence, 𝗦𝗧 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴), 𝗠𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗵 𝗡𝗴𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗻 (Head of AI, Obello, San Francisco), and our moderator 𝗠𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗵 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝗺 (Head, Digital Academy Services, 𝗡𝗨𝗦-𝗜𝗦𝗦) for such an insightful afternoon.

We look forward to seeing you at the next 𝗡𝗨𝗦-𝗜𝗦𝗦 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀!

Organisations are expected to move fast, adapt quickly, and solve complex problems. But how do you actually build that capability?

We have recently kicked off the 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗦) 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 in partnership with members of the 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (SBF), bringing together participants from AXS Pte Ltd, Esri Singapore, 𝗝𝗣𝗟 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗴 and 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀.

Through the ALPS approach, learning goes beyond theory. Participants tackle real challenges, apply ideas in real time, test out the ideas, and refine solutions along the way. It is hands-on, collaborative, and focused on delivering tangible outcomes that matter.

This is just the start, and we are excited to see where these ideas go next and the impact they will create.

Cloud, AI, and data centres. Where is it all heading?

Yesterday at 𝗡𝗨𝗦-𝗜𝗦𝗦 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗨𝗽: 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 & 𝗔𝗜 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲, our alumni and students got a front-row seat to conversations shaping the future of cloud and AI-powered infrastructure.

From SRE to AI-driven operations, the evening unpacked how data centres are evolving, from the way they are designed and built to how they are run, alongside the growing demand for talent in this rapidly expanding industry.

The session featured insights from 𝗠𝗿 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘀 𝗠. (Partner, Infranovus), 𝗠𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗹 𝗗𝘂𝗻𝗯𝗮𝗿 (Partner, Digital Infrastructure, ICG), and 𝗠𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗱𝗮 (VP, Innovation & Intelligence, AirTrunk). This was followed by a panel discussion, with 𝗠𝗿 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗮 (Deputy CEO, NUS-ISS) as the moderator, bringing all speakers together to exchange perspectives.

Across the panel, one theme stood out. Data centres may sit behind the scenes, but they are critical infrastructure powering everything from cloud to AI. As demand grows, so does the need for talent, new capabilities, and smarter ways of building and running them.

A big thank you to our speakers, JLL and team for sponsoring the venue, and everyone who joined us for the session. It was great to see the NUS-ISS community come together for good conversations and fresh perspectives.
