EMPOWERING THE COMPANY SECRETARY: DIGITALISATION & SUSTAINABILITY

We are thrilled to have been invited as a speaker to discuss AI and Digitalisation at the recent MACS National Conference 2024, titled "Empowering the Company Secretary: Digitalisation & Sustainability".

The event provided an exceptional networking opportunity with industry-leading corporate secretaries. It was inspiring to see that most of the MACS members recognize the emerging trend of digitised corporate governance. As Corporate Secretarial Professionals—often regarded as the gatekeepers of good governance—we must streamline and enhance our practices to support customer growth and stay relevant.

Wezmart's Chief Digital Officer, Mr. Ang BC, emphasized that the era of digitalisation is gaining significant traction in professional industries. Through compelling examples, he illustrated how the internet evolved, how mobile phones became smartphones, and how AI has already started influencing human life. He stressed that we must embrace AI and digitalisation to remain relevant in society and continue to harness their benefits.

As we look to the future, it's clear that Digitised Corporate Governance is poised to become as integral to corporate secretarial practices as AI is to human life, marking a significant evolution that professionals will increasingly embrace.
