SIM Learning & Leadership Festival 2025
24 October 2025
Amid rising political instability and a volatile global landscape, businesses face unprecedented uncertainty. Shifting markets and rapid change make decision-making increasingly complex, threatening even the most resilient organisations.
Against this backdrop, the SIM Learning & Leadership Festival 2025 brought together business leaders, academics, and systems practitioners for an energising and thought-provoking day of insights on leading with clarity and confidence in a BANI world, one that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible.
Distinguished speakers shared powerful insights on leadership, collaboration, and adaptive decision-making in a rapidly evolving environment. Their conversations underscored a key message: leadership today is no longer about control, but about connection — understanding interdependencies, leveraging networks, and enabling collective intelligence to flourish.
Speakers included:
- Peter Ho, Senior Advisor to the Centre for Strategic Futures; Senior Fellow, Civil Service College
- Dr. Michael C. Jackson OBE, Emeritus Professor, University of Hull
- Sanjoy Sen, Group Head of Consumer Bank, DBS Bank; Board Member, Singapore Institute of Management
- Seah Chin Siong, Advisor, SIM Centre for Systems Leadership
