In view of our transition into a technological era governed by Big Data, Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IOT), our economy and society is experiencing disruptions on many fronts and is in a constant state of flux. The Sessions student team has invited three panellists – Mr Amit Gupta (Chief of Electrical Rolls Royce), Mr Harveen (CEO, Kommerce) and Ms Jasmine Seng (Mangement Consultant, Accenture). The panel discussion will look into the issues of how the workplace is being disrupted, where are the bright spots that you can leverage on and how you can better prepare for the advent of a technological era.

Master’s Commons, USP Master’s Commons, USPMa Dou Dou is a recent graduate of the NUS-Waseda Double Degree Programme (DDP) who currently works at NSAID New Australian Institute of Social Development. Since completing the DDP, he has spent much of his time on qualitative research projects with non-profit organisations in Yunnan, and his work questions whether modernisation truly brings social development to rural villages in China. In this talk, Dou will share and discuss some of his experiences during his research in Yunnan, and will also touch on research opportunities for USP students. Dou will be joined by Li Aiyu, an experienced social worker, and USP alum Zhang Xintian (History + USP, Class of 2015) whose work at the DBS Foundation sheds some light on the application of innovative solutions to facilitate social development in China.
