SBF launches roadmap to enhance trade association capabilities

It outlines nearly 20 new initiatives to be rolled out in the next three years.

The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) unveiled a multi-year roadmap to enhance the capabilities of Trade Associations and Chambers (TACs).

The Sector Transformation Map (STM) focuses on strengthening the sector's value proposition, improving governance standards, and boosting human capital development.

Developed with input from over 40 TACs and supported by Enterprise Singapore, the STM outlines nearly 20 new initiatives across four key strategies: Sector Value Proposition, Human Capital, Operational Excellence, and Governance & Risks.

These initiatives, which will be rolled out over the next three years, aim to bolster TACs’ capacities and capabilities to better support businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, as they transform and grow.

Additionally, the SBF-SID Leadership Programme for TAC Councils, launched in collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Directors, will provide board members and Heads of Secretariats with the necessary knowledge and skills in governance and TAC leadership.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
