EDHEC NewGen Talent Centre Breakfasts in Asia
2016-03-09
EDHEC is pleased to invite you to the NewGen Talent Centre Breakfasts for Recruiters & Talent Managers.
Every organisation competes to attract young, innovative, high-potential talent, but with millennials staying in any one job an average of only 18 months, few companies successfully retain the Gen Y rockstars of today who will become the business leaders of tomorrow.
Join them for breakfast in Hong Kong, Shanghaï or Singapore, where EDHEC NewGen Talent Centre Director, Manuelle Malot, will present insights from the Centre’s comprehensive three-part study on the difficulty of retaining young talent. Completed exclusively with millennial talent, study findings shed light on what makes high-potential Gen Y talent go, and how you can make them stay.
Please refer to EDHEC NewGen Talent Centre Breakfasts for more information.

Seminar on Electronisation of Transferable Documents or Instruments Used in International Trade
2016-03-10
The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) is jointly organising this seminar with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and the Attorney-General’s Chambers of Singapore (AGC), and invites your participation.
Seminar Objective
The Seminar seeks to introduce the participants to important international developments in respect of electronic transferable records (electronic versions of transferable documents or instruments such as bills of lading, bills of exchange, promissory notes and warehouse receipts). The goal of “electronisation” of transferable documents or instruments is to enable electronic transferable records to be used and enforced in the same way as paper transferable documents or instruments, thereby enabling industry and business to enjoy the advantages of using the electronic form of such instruments.
UNCITRAL is developing a draft Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records. Cross-border use of electronic transferable records will be facilitated and promoted when the Model Law is completed and enacted by various jurisdictions in a harmonised manner. Work on the draft Model Law is expected to be completed in mid-2016, after which it may be considered for adoption and implementation by various jurisdictions in the world, including Singapore.
The Seminar will introduce participants to the provisions of the draft UNCITRAL Model Law, and its requirements that must be satisfied in order for an electronic transferable record to be a functional equivalent of a paper-based transferable document or instrument. The Seminar will also feature speakers from Japan, Republic of Korea, China and USA who will share on the laws and practical experiences of their jurisdictions relating to the use of electronic transferable records. Additionally, providers of electronic transferable record systems will be invited to provide industry perspectives.
Who Should Attend
* Senior personnel and legal advisers from banks, shipping companies (carriers), logistics firms and businesses involved in cross-border trade (traders)
* Senior personnel from companies involved in trade financing, receivables financing

Advanced Negotiation Strategies
2016-03-21
Singapore Management University is pleased to present you their programme: Advanced Negotiation Strategies, which will be held on 21st and 22nd March and then on 15th and 16th September 2016.
Recent research highlights the challenges faced by today’s executives as they negotiate across industry and cultural boundaries. Negotiation is a core competency for all professionals who are expected to continuously improve their performance and increase the efficiency of their organisations. Professional success, therefore, arises from one’s ability to negotiate, influence others, and create mutual value. This negotiation task, however, is neither simple nor easy in a world that is full of multiple demands and conflicting interests.
This interactive programme is a well-balanced blend of theory and practice. It is designed primarily to sharpen your negotiation and persuasion skills. The advanced simulations that are included in this programme will introduce you to the complexity and demands of multi-party and team negotiations.

We live in a knowledge economy and ideas are worth money. If you have ever shared an idea with someone, then only to see it later get used as someone else’s idea, you know how painful and unjust that is.
Creative agencies, photographers, music composers, writers, designers, entrepreneurs, PR firms, architects – this issue affects everyone.
Can the law protect owners of ideas or is this more a case of driving better awareness of the importance of respecting IP?
They are pleased to bring individuals who bring unique perspectives to this topic. Please join them for this panel discussion, which promises to explore the issue and to provide possible ways to address it for all creators of ideas.
This event will be moderated by Steven Liew, Executive Director, Asia Pacific of APCO Worldwide.
