For the SMEs, their competitive advantage must be the many more opportunities they have in providing personalized service than larger companies. With a flat and simple organisation, an SME business owner can strategically organized his entire workforce toward quality service and customer satisfaction. Today's consumers do not mind paying more for quality and personal attention.  I believe the SMEs will remain relevant and thrive in the knowledge economy.

"Quality & Service are the price of market entry and the fundamental expectation to remain in business.

Branding and value creation is vital to the continuous growth of the organisation.

Competitiveness is more than just knowing what and how to be better than the competition; it is about developing a sales force that knows the importance of creating a relationship with every single prospect at their first point of contact. This, if checked, will transform many potential lost sales into revenue."

He has prepared many interesting slides but due to time constraint, not all the slides were shown to the participants."

Thank you David for the inspiring session and tips on creativity.  It was certainly helpful to everyone who wants to explore, tap on hidden talents and start creating opportunities for a better future.

For big corporations it is often easier to make progress in marketing than for SME's. SME's have far lesser room to experiment and to learn from mistakes.

The ASB hosts professionals that have made these mistakes already in Asia - although that may not be the first thing they'll tell.

If you're looking for inspiration or consultancy, it's often tough to find the one company that understands your business and your issues. The variety of expertise’s and backgrounds represented by the ASB can make it easier for you to meet and select without any attachments.

The ability to mass-produce and even mass-customize products has left very little room for companies to differentiate themselves. Therefore companies will need to move higher in the value chain by creating new value. Competitive Advantage is all about creating new strategies in order to generate new business value.

ASIA SPEAKERS BUREAU - The foundation of this organisation marks a milestone in the seminar management industry within Singapore. Touted as an organisation, which aims to be a leading institution in pooling captains of industries towards sharing their experiences and views, it is a bold step undertaken by its founder, Mr. David Wee to enable small and medium local enterprises to be exposed to the various management practices of international business leaders.

In a relatively short period of time, Asia Speakers Bureau has managed to rally the support of several notable regional professionals and speakers towards enabling it to realize its primary objective. This by itself speaks volumes of the vision of its founder who have also garnered the notable Richard Branson, “entrepreneur extraordinaire” to support this noble effort.

Though nascent in its beginnings, Asia Speakers Bureau is on the right track to emerge as a premier establishment in helping entrepreneurs increases their cutting edge through a series of learning sessions and panel discussions, which invariably will lend greater credence to the spirit of entrepreneurship in Singapore.

In today, knowledge economy, competitive advantages are not about just being competitive. SME or large corporation must be able to sustain competitive advantages.

Like a core team, core business and a highly competitive and knowledgeable workforces. Without any sustainable competitive advantages, the firm will not last long as competition will overtake you and grab your customers.

Creating a competitive advantage is one thing. Sustaining it is quite another.

Having the latest computers or superior business systems will not ensure a sustainable competitive advantage. The ability of your workers to continuously learn and upgrade their skills faster than the competition will.

In this age of  ' Competitive Intelligence', getting ahead, and staying ahead is about using more of both sides of your head.

"I first know David Wee as the General Manager and CEO of a healthcare & food company and heard of him as a very experienced trainer.  It was until I met him in March this year that I got to know what a passionate person David is.  David has so much passion and dedication in training and education that I cannot help but be moved by him.  Through our brief encounters, David gave me many ideas on how to market my business better.   It was through him that I truly understand what 'Strategic Alliance' really means.

In short, if anybody wants to learn and share, look for David Wee."

Whether an Organisation enjoys competitive advantage or not will be decided by the consumer at the market place. The Organisation in the short term, therefore, has to delight the consumer and in the long run convince him/her of receiving excellent value for his/her money. Most organisations would have an easy access to capital as well as same or similar technology. The differentiating factor, therefore, is unlikely to be any product plus but really the brand equity created by the synergistic efforts of technical, commercial and marketing personnel and their innovative contributions.

It is harnessing, developing and directing people power that will result in a competitive edge over sustained periods and ensure sustained profitable growth of the Organisation. I am sure the direct linkage between the competitive advantage’ and the organisational effectiveness will be fully dealt with in the seminar arranged by the ASB.  I offer them my best wishes.
