From the opening lion dance to city immersions, day one of Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP) set the tone for a week of reflection, reconnection, and action. Immersion visits to Singapore’s URA and SMRT demonstrated how visionary planning and innovation can turn constraint into opportunity, using design, data, and foresight to build a city that’s as sustainable as it is dynamic.
From startup ecosystems to airport innovation, day two of Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP) explored how vision and collaboration drive transformation. Immersion visits to Tenity highlighted Singapore’s vibrant startup scene, while Changi Airport Group showcased how strategic foresight and partnership built one of the world’s most admired aviation hubs.
Through it all, Poman Lo reminded leaders that the climate crisis is a test of purpose and courage “true leadership is not about control, but contribution.”
From mindful leadership to sustainable innovation, day three of Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP) challenged participants to rethink what success means.
Sessions and immersions explored how resilience, clarity, and purpose enable leaders to balance performance with transformation — from redefining sustainability as opportunity, to learning the power of presence and trust through experiential exercises with horses.
From Kiran Bedi’s trailblazing journey as India’s first female police officer to insights on AI ecosystems and mindful leadership, participants explored what it means to lead with purpose in a world shaped by transformation. Through real-world cases, peer exchange, and forward-looking strategies, the day inspired leaders to strengthen their communication, rethink their impact, and bridge innovation with responsibility — turning learning into lasting change.
