Episode Synopsis

How is one to manage  A.I.'s disruptive threat to our industry?If we see that A.I. is but the latest in the stream of technology to do so, we appreciate how history provides instructive lessons in the value of Governance in handling change.In this podcast, we explore what happens when the Singapore's postal giant , SingPost, confronts the future where most communication is done online and the use of post goes into terminal decline. How does poor Governance handicap a firm in its transition? Is a recovery possible?In this podcast, we have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Prof Mak of NUS, a keen observer of SingPost and its travails.
