How to take a vague directive and build a delivery engine that actually runs at scale. Drawing from 22 years of core banking transformation across APAC, this talk covers: building frameworks from scratch, creating predictable release rhythms, and governing large cross-cultural teams without bureaucracy.

What I cover

• ◆The anatomy of a Release Calendar that reduces deployment chaos
• ◆Vendor governance at scale: how to cut SOW renewal count by 80%
• ◆SAFe in a real bank: what the textbook doesn't tell you
• ◆Building a delivery operating model that survives your departure

An honest, practitioner's view of AI adoption inside regulated financial institutions. What actually works, what fails, and what every APAC technology leader needs to know about building AI literacy across their organisation — before the next wave of AI tools arrives.

What I cover

• ◆What I learned building AI agents inside a major bank
• ◆The AI literacy gap: why most banking teams aren't ready
• ◆Microsoft Copilot Studio in practice: real use cases, real results
• ◆From NUS CTAIO to the boardroom: AI governance for executives

The frameworks that run great programs also run great lives. This session helps mid-to-senior professionals break through the fog of too many priorities, reconnect with what they're actually building, and build a personal operating rhythm that creates momentum — not just motion.

What I cover

• ◆The five questions that reset your week in 20 minutes
• ◆How program management principles apply to personal goals
• ◆Career pivots: choosing vs. climbing
• ◆Building accountability into your life without a coach on speed dial
