Together for Better: Nurturing Connections for Innovation and Growth

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, companies increasingly recognise that resilient relationships are key to unlocking innovation, empowering talent and creating sustainable impact. A majority of our LinkedIn poll respondents agree that connections strengthen trust and allyship, a foundation for collaborations across our lives, be it at work or play. At KPMG, nurturing strategic alliances in a digital age and promoting a culture of collaboration with colleagues, clients and vendors is a guiding principle that underpins our daily work.

Fostering partnerships for innovation

Innovation blooms from the exchange of ideas and expertise. Strategic partnerships, such as our alliance with Microsoft, exemplify the power of connections in creating synergies that drive progress. By combining our deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge technology, we help clients leverage data for smarter decisions. The Microsoft 360? Innovation Fund, for instance, has accelerated the development of cloud-based solutions, facilitating global digital transformation.

Additionally, endeavours like the KPMG Digital Village bring businesses together in a concerted ecosystem to address specific challenges and drive the adoption of innovative solutions, resulting in tangible outcomes. For example, our partnership with a fintech firm accelerated banks' journey in Banking-as-a-Service, enabling them to leverage innovative technologies for faster market entry, enhancing product offerings, and capitalising on evolving financial trends for sustained market leadership and relevance.

Empowering talent for collective growth

Our greatest asset is our people. Initiatives like Together@KPMG and our talent development programmes foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. Through a shared purpose and common cause, Together@KPMG enables individuals to achieve shared goals more efficiently and with greater effect while forging robust bonds across our diverse workforce.

This cooperative spirit extends beyond our firm, as we engage in volunteer and community outreach programmes, nurturing a strong rapport with the community and making a positive change in individual people, the community and society.

Driving sustainable impact through collaborative action

Collaboration is key to achieving positive environmental change. Our Impact Plan reflects this, prioritising relationship building through workforce training, data analysis, technology development, and forging alliances to tackle critical Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues.

Through projects like the innovative KPMG Wellness Garden, a first-of-its-kind multigenerational space at East Coast Park, we bring families and communities closer.? With dedicated zones for all ages and abilities, this inclusive space fosters a sense of togetherness through interactions and shared experiences. It embodies KPMG’s commitment to embrace ESG solutions, support communities and refresh Singapore’s social compact. This dedication extends to ground-up efforts like the Green Dot, which raises sustainability awareness among our staff.

Making the difference

By cultivating an environment of shared knowledge, collaboration and a commitment to progress, we promote inclusive growth and contribute positively to the world around us.
