KPMG in Singapore has launched its “Be in Front” talent development model, designed to bolster the nation’s global competitiveness by enhancing workforce capabilities. Announced during the Ministry of Manpower’s Job Vacancies event, the initiative aligns with Singapore’s economic goals of job creation, skills enhancement, and global competitiveness.
The “Be in Front” model focuses on strengthening global talent to create a significant impact. It emphasises advanced expertise through futurist training and knowledge sharing, promoting innovation via collaboration, and offering opportunities for talent mobility. This approach aims to empower teams to lead in complex environments and deliver valuable solutions.
Lee Sze Yeng, Managing Partner of KPMG in Singapore, highlighted the importance of talent in maintaining Singapore’s status as a global hub. “In today’s geopolitical environment, and where technology and regulations evolve at varying speeds, talent needs to navigate considerable ambiguity. Our talent model equips professionals to interpret these ‘in-between’ spaces, identify opportunities and define new pathways for success,” Lee stated.
The model also contributes to Singapore’s global competitiveness by attracting international talent and providing local professionals with multi-disciplinary exposure. This exposure is crucial for driving innovation in areas such as digital transformation and sustainability.
KPMG’s initiative is expected to support Singapore’s strategic goals by bridging global and local needs, fostering job creation, and enhancing industry readiness. The firm’s commitment to developing talent and promoting innovation underscores its role in ensuring Singapore remains a leader on the global stage.
