What does it take for boards to lead through uncertainty?

From insightful conversations at our booth to thought-provoking discussions on stage, it was a pleasure to be part of the SID Directors Conference 2026, bringing together business leaders and board directors around this year’s theme, “New Game, New Rules: Do Boards Need a Reset?”

Moderating a panel of industry experts on “Are Boards Too Risk-Averse to Create Value?”, our Partner Keith Tan engaged with Jeffrey Paine, Golden Gate Ventures, and Yen Yen Tan, Jardine Cycle & Carriage in a thought-provoking discussion on how boards can rethink governance, navigate disruption and continue creating value in an increasingly complex and uncertain business environment.

A key takeaway from the discussion was the importance of setting the organisation’s direction - looking beyond immediate priorities and taking a longer-term view of what lies ahead over the next 5–10 years.

And while organisations cannot be completely disruption-proof, boards can ensure they have options when disruption happens - by anticipating change, challenging assumptions and building the resilience and agility needed to respond effectively.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their perspectives and connected with us at the SID Directors Conference 2026. We look forward to continuing the conversation on how boards can navigate uncertainty, build resilience and create long-term value.

RSM Singapore was delighted to support the development of a programme for company directors in Singapore, launched at the SID Directors Conference 2026, where our Partner, Dennis Lee, Partner, Business Consulting Group, took part in the launch ceremony.

The Company Director Fundamentals (CDF) programme, jointly developed by SID and ACRA with support from RSM Singapore and Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP, gives directors practical grounding in their legal, fiduciary and governance responsibilities. With boards facing growing pressure to navigate increasingly complex legal, technological and business challenges, the programme aims to build baseline governance competencies among directors across Singapore, making practical governance training more accessible and reinforcing Singapore's standing as a trusted, well governed business hub.

At the same conference, our Partner and Deputy Industry Lead for Healthcare, Keith Tan, led a panel on "Are Boards Too Risk Averse to Create Value?" alongside Yen Yen Tan, FSID, Non-Executive Independent Director of Jardine Cycle & Carriage, and Jeffrey Paine, Founding Partner of Golden Gate Ventures. Together they explored calculated risk-taking, organisational resilience and governance, and how boards can make more informed decisions in an increasingly uncertain environment.

Conversations like these reflect what we do every day, helping businesses grow with confidence. Our advisory practice spans corporate advisory for M&A, valuations and business grooming, business consulting for risk, cyber security and digital transformation, and ESG solutions that help organisations build long term value while managing what matters most to their stakeholders.

At the SID Directors Conference 2026, our Partner & Deputy Industry Lead (Healthcare Practice), Keith Tan, will moderate the panel “Are Boards Too Risk-Averse to Create Value?”, joined by Jeffery Paine, Golden Gate Ventures, and Tan Yen Yen, Jardine Cycle & Carriage.

Together, they will explore what it takes for boards to move beyond traditional risk oversight and play a more active role in shaping growth, challenging conventional thinking and making bold strategic decisions.

Key questions the panel will unpack:
🔹 When should boards challenge legacy thinking?
🔹 How can they balance prudent oversight with long-term value creation?
🔹 What does bold, future-ready governance look like in practice?

As disruption becomes the norm, effective governance is no longer just about managing risk. It is about equipping boards with the confidence and judgement to seize opportunities and drive sustainable growth.
