Post-Pandemic, the competitive differentiation across industries emerges from superior talent management, digital transformation capabilities, and a strong pursuit of growth. SSON has emphasised driving knowledge management, leveraging augmented intelligence, and cultivating a service-oriented workforce in the changeover towards an integrated business services model.
