Editor's Notes

  • #3 With the recent release of Logistics Industry Transformation Map (ITP) and the rising demand for specialists in the industry along with the change in demographics within our organisation, there is a need for us to build up a pool of local talent in order to remain competitive in the market. "The Logistics ITM will support enterprise-level efforts to transform and grow through productivity and innovation. It aims to nurture a strong Singaporean core through talent development."  - Mr Iswaran, Minister of Trade and Industry (Industry) http://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/road-map-to-boost-singapores-role-as-global-logistics-hub “With growing customers’ expectations and rapid technological advancements, logistics companies today are continuously developing new capabilities and value-added services to stay competitive. Hence, there is a growing need for professionals with niche and specialised skills to innovate and deliver these services effectively.” http://slaebook.s3-website-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/#p=5 In order to tackle these questions, it is important for us to build up a ready-pool of talent for the organisation to tap on.

  • #5 Comments: Vision should be one-liner, and should be before objectives This slide looks more like Mission What kind of people do we want to cultivate? What kind of leaders do we need and what skillsets/abilities do they need to encompass?
  • #6 Comments: Vision should be one-liner, and should be before objectives This slide looks more like Mission What kind of people do we want to cultivate? What kind of leaders do we need and what skillsets/abilities do they need to encompass?
  • #7 Comments: Change “Home Base” to “Core Functions” Change “Rotations 1, 2, 3” to “Departmental Rotations” Change visual representation of “Management dialogue, group activities etc”  use fertilizers/water droplets to represent each trait
  • #8 Comments: Include Recruitment approach/key assessment criteria: e.g. what kind of recruitment process (e.g. presentation) Case study discussion Assessment centre Presentation Change Application months to “Q3” (instead of “Jul – Sept”) Things to decide once the proposal is being approved: Application methodology: Via online? Paper and pen? Elements to include in the application form: Preferences for the various units, etc.
  • #9 Intro to Schenker: Company overview Management team Mission, vision, values Policies Employee benefits (e.g. Flexi-Benefits) L&D opportunities Event Calendar: MT event calendar (e.g. Management Dialogue, networking sessions, social activities) Exec Fireplace Chat: 1. Informal presentation by 1-2 senior management on personal journey from school to current position Facility Visits: SLC, RHO SLC 2 SLC 1 Tech Support: Laptop Email set-up, log-in, Thumbprint access Landline name-change forms Intranet access
  • #10 Comments: Consider what’s the point of 1 week shadowing – waste MT’s time (bored) and waste salary Combine this slide and previous slide * Find new name to replace “Buddy”
  • #11 Comments: Consider what’s the point of 1 week shadowing – waste MT’s time (bored) and waste salary Combine this slide and previous slide * Find new name to replace “Buddy”
  • #12  Comments: Shadowing all departments (can observe different leadership styles)  can change to attending business meetings (can observe decision-making process) Departmental exposure through departmental meetings (use trees/streetlamps as visuals) Shadow departments can take out + change 3 months to 4 months Assessment: Internal stakeholders involved: Mentor and Coach Review period: After every job rotation Objective: This is to provide mentor with the necessary information before doing the final performance assessment which will determine the MT’s promotion. 2. Performance Review, Ideation, IDP Internal stakeholders involved: MT and Mentor First review session: Before the commencement of job rotation Subsequent review sessions: To be reviewed after every job rotation 3.
