Charles Tan is a Partner and the Singapore office Lead with ADAPTOVATE Asia Pacific and specializes in strategy and operational Improvement. He has over 20 years of working experience across southeast Asia

and Australia in industries such as financial services, telecoms, tertiary education, agriculture, private equity & utilities.

Joining Charles is Sam who is a Project Lead with ADAPTOVATE and has led multiple teams in financial services through agile transformations and driven shifts in culture.

Both gentlemen responded to questions from a live audience at a public webinar organized by Workforce SG.

Highlights of their insights are summarized below:

1. What makes the Management Consulting profession an interesting one?
2. A lot of big boys from the Management Consulting field just hit straight for the graduating cohort & grab the cream of the crop. Did both of you start that way?
3. You mentioned that you invested heavily. Was it just Financial?
4. How do management Consultants thrive in domains which are completely new like the Metaverse or post-Covid world where there's no prior knowledge nor experience?
5. Do you put your potential hires through case interviews?
6. If you have two individuals coming in with quite similar experiences, to what degree do you focus on EQ and mindset in your selection?
7. Do you prefer a homogeneous or heterogeneous team?
8. What are the key things that you look for in a consultant?
9. Can you share with us the workplace culture at ADAPTOVATE?
10. Will someone between the ages of 55 to 65 years old be suitable for a management consulting role?
11. If a consultant is popular with many clients to the detriment of an unequal distribution of work amongst consultants, will you hold this consultant back from taking on more or go where the business goes?

Thank you Charles & Sam for your generous advice & for spending extended time to address more questions from the audience!
