Bee Kwan Lim shared thisHappy to be a panellist at the DSO National Laboratories International Women's Day event. This is a grounds-up initiative to put a spotlight on the women in DSO. Alongside my fellow panellists Kuan Seah CHUA and Elisa Mo, who also served as the moderator, we shared insights on the challenges of embracing and supporting diversity, increasing women's representation in leadership roles, and discussed ways to overcome barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potential. We encourage women to dedicate time to intentionally grow their networks, particularly outside their organizations. Associations like the Singapore Computer Society offer valuable opportunities for interaction with peers across different sectors. We also hope our discussions foster greater awareness among male allies to support and encourage women in DSO. The event also celebrated the achievements of DSO DCE Le Na Ngiam, who will assume the role of Chief Executive of the National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS) in April. Congratulations to Le Na! Thank you to Kuan Seah, Eliza, Jia Hui Teo, Grace Goon, Lynette Koh, and Wei-Lin Tan for the invitation and for organizing this impactful event. #SingaporeComputerSociety #SGWIT #IWD26

Bee Kwan Lim shared thisThe Singapore Computer Society held it's annual appreciation lunch to honor members who have generously volunteered their time and services to organize and speak at events for Chapters, Special Interest Groups, and committees. This year's forums and seminars have attracted record crowds, benefiting our IT professionals and our partners in the trade associations and chambers. SGWIT100 also created much buzz in the infocomm circle. We are very proud of the Student Chapter and SCS Youth who have engaged and mentored students and reaching out to support communities-in-need through SCS Tech for Good initiatives. Special thanks goes to the leadership of the SCS Exco, Presidents & committee members of the Chapters and SIG who had contributed to a successful year. Appreciations to Seow Khun LUM and Adrian Chye for hosting and Francis Lee & the wonderful SCS Secretariat for their organization and administrative support. #singaporecomputersociety #SGWIT100

Bee Kwan Lim liked thisBee Kwan Lim liked thisAre You Ready for Sovereign AI? What exactly is sovereign AI? McKinsey & Company says there is no single definition. Rather, it is the result of interactions between four components: territorial (where data & compute physically reside), operational (who manages & secures data & compute), technological (who owns the underlying stack & IP), and legal (which jurisdiction governs access & compliance). In other words, #SovereignAI is about a nation’s or an organization’s ability to develop and control its own AI capabilities to ensure strategic independence & alignment with local laws & values. An effective sovereign ecosystem is not necessarily one in which everything is built domestically. Instead, it is one in which key control points are sovereign by design, even if other elements of the stack may remain open to partnerships, interoperability, competition. Why bother? Because 30%-40% of #AI spending could be influenced by sovereignty requirements, representing a market of about US$600 billion globally by 2030. Gartner predicts that 35% of countries will be locked into region-specific AI platforms using proprietary contextual data by 2027, up from just 5% currently. Should the formulation of your sovereign strategy be left to tech teams? Nope. PwC advocates active input & sponsorship from business, compliance and data management teams. PwC urges #organizations to define (their sovereign strategy), tailor (AI models to strategic goals), set (clear & realistic boundaries), design (their cloud architecture) and build (strategic partnerships with key stakeholders). Governments define which workloads require strong sovereignty (such as defense, sensitive citizen data apps, CII), which can use hybrid models, and which can remain largely global.

Bee Kwan Lim liked thisBee Kwan Lim liked thisIt was 2 years in the making — and worth every bit of the wait. When Chapter President Keng Hoe Toh first suggested the AI & Robotics Chapter at Singapore Computer Society organise a dedicated AI conference 2 years ago, I jumped at it. By 2024, almost every industry conference had become an AI conference. But none were built for the practitioners — the people actually building and deploying AI in their organisations. Last week, AI Conference 2026 finally happened. SMS Tan Kiat How delivered the opening address and announced a new job portal for university undergraduates — the group arguably most exposed to AI disruption in the workplace. A welcome and timely move. Giuseppe Manai delivered a keynote framing AI as the OS for enterprises. Luka Debeljak shared the top 5 trends shaping AI adoption in 2026. Both were so captivating I photographed every single slide. The panel on AI bilingualism, moderated by Keng Hoe, got particularly lively when Raju C. shared what he's tracking on the dark web — and why geopolitics keeps him up at night. The highlight for me: moderating a roundtable on the impact of Agentic AI on non-tech industries, with SCS President Bee Kwan Lim, Giuseppe Manai, Jingyuan Zhao (PhD), Naveen Asrani, Lawrence Ng, Kim Tatt Lee, and Brian, Lui Cheng Lim. The conversation kept circling back to one insight that I think every enterprise leader needs to hear: Most of the data we work with today was designed for humans to read and act on. But in an agentic world, data will be generated by agents, for agents. The companies preparing for that shift now will have a serious head start. Thank you Cheryl Lim and the SCS secretariat team for all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. AI Conference 2027 — let's go.

Bee Kwan Lim liked thisBee Kwan Lim liked thisI’m honoured to have been conferred Honorary Membership by the Information Technology Management Association (ITMA) last night. I first joined ITMA in 2001, and over the past 25 years, it has been a meaningful part of my journey. I also had the privilege of serving as a council member for 16 years — years filled with learning, contribution, and many memorable moments. What makes ITMA truly special to me is the people. I’ve made many good friends along the way, and it has been a privilege to journey together through different stages of life and career — including seeing many of them through their peak CIO years and into retirement (while I’m still very much working! 😊). Beyond work, it’s the shared experiences that stand out — the many study trips (with plenty of pre- and post-trip extensions!) to Europe and the US, pickleball games in Guangzhou, makan adventures in Batam, and countless conversations in between. This recognition means a lot to me. More than anything, it reflects the friendships and community we’ve built over the years. Thank you, ITMA.

Bee Kwan Lim liked thisBee Kwan Lim liked thisIt has been six years since I stepped into the role of General Manager for Red Hat Singapore. During this time, the business successfully tripled between 2020 and 2026, establishing Red Hat as the platform of choice for Hybrid Cloud among Financial Institutions, Telcos, and Public Sector clients. My thanks go out to all Red Hat Partners and Customers for their invaluable support. I am now transitioning back to an APAC role, where I will be leading the Public Sector and Telco/Service Provider segments for Red Hat. This focus is strategic, as the Public Sector is our second-largest vertical, and its emphasis on sovereignty in the AI era is vital for our growth across APAC. Furthermore, Telcos and Service Providers are instrumental in driving Sovereign Cloud and AI initiatives throughout the region. I am excited about the significant opportunities ahead in Singapore and the region. To fully capitalize on them, we are proactively transforming internally to strengthen the Red Hat's position in hybrid cloud, AI, and virtualization. I would like to thank you for your support of me and my team and hope that you will continue our partnership by supporting Juliana Lim and the SG team.

Bee Kwan Lim liked thisBee Kwan Lim liked this31.03.26 - Making the Extraordinary Happen Today is my last day with NCS. Over the past 3 months, since the announcement of my transition, I have had the pleasure of meeting up with many teams of NCS people, and numerous clients and business partners. I have been at times overwhelmed, at times learning something new, but at all times, feeling grateful for the journey that we have gone through together. Recently, I received a heartfelt video summarising my 7-year journey at NCS. In the form of a Star Wars rendition of the 7 strategic themes we have had over the years. I have included the video in this post. The themes at the start of each year are more than individual episodes of our growth story. Together, they tell the story of what we went through - with vision, execution, courage, innovation and above all, solid teamwork. Along the way, we created the unique identity and brand of NCS, with an inspiring culture centred around our Purpose and AEIOU Beliefs. Today, I am leaving NCS with deep gratitude and immense pride in what we have built together, and full confidence that NCS will continue to grow from strength to strength. For me, now is a special moment to take a pause. After more than 3 decades in technology and consulting, I will be taking a "gap year" - to recharge, spend time with my loved ones, and reflect on what comes next. I do not know yet what that next chapter will be. However, I do know this - the future of technology, AI and transformation in the Asia Pacific has never been more exciting. And I look forward to being part of building what comes next. Thank you everyone for this wonderful journey. Thank you all for your trust, belief and friendships. It has been my tremendous honour and privilege to be the CEO of NCS. #ncslife NCS Group NCS Group Australia
