Business model presentation given to Singapore Polytechnic #in

I was recently invited through my Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW) to present to some final year business students at the Singapore Polytechnic.

I was pretty excited to present, and I’ve attached the slides to this blog post. The feedback was pretty positive, and if anything some of the students wished they had this presentation at the earlier part of the academic year!
I used a lot of material from my professional “toolkit” – Porter’s competitive advantage, corporate strategy development, business valuation, corporate finance, value based management, the Business Model Canvas and Deloitte’s Shift Index.

One who graduated yesterday but stops learning today will soon find himself irrelevant tomorrow

Today I got my project management certificate! I’m planning to start my Harvard Business School Leadership Program this week as well.

Because this December period can be a little quiet on the M&A front (deal makers, bankers and lawyers go on their Christmas breaks) it’s a great time to sharpen the axe a little and grind up a sharp edge. Because a professional who graduated yesterday but stops learning today will soon find himself irrelevant tomorrow.
