In this episode of the Adrian Tan Show, I speak with Charles H. Ferguson, the APAC GM for Globalization Partners. Inspired by the 2023 Global Growth Report, we discuss the expectations and sentiments in the evolving business landscape. Key findings reveal that Singaporeans aspire to join global companies for better pay, travel, and diversity. Charles emphasises the importance of expanding globally but reminds us that it can mean something other than increasing in size. Listen on as we delve into small businesses' agility, the opportunities emerging markets bring, and the crucial role of talent in these discussions.
