Not too long ago Singapore Institute of Directors has launched its podcast. I have discussed the possibility of SID launching it with Edwin Lee, SID executive director, in early September this year.
I think it’s a good move on the SID part. Podcasts are growing in popularity and provide a great way to increase the reach. Right now, SID’s speakers are mostly concerned with corporate governance and COVID. That is OK because corporate governance is what SID is about. But SID has thousands of businessmen as its members, and they have broader interests than just corporate governance. For example, what you need to do to be a successful negotiator on behalf of your organization? Or how do you assess a business opportunity? These points are mostly unrelated to corporate governance, but it is of immense relevance to anyone leading any business. And SID has access to incredibly successful people who could share their insights into those topics and more.
I don’t know how it would turn in the end, but I hope SID would be successful with this initiative.
