On Vesak Day, it's easy to focus on the traditions. What fascinated me was what the data revealed. When we look at Buddhism in Singapore through the lens of numbers, we begin to see trends, changes, and stories that are difficult to spot from everyday experience alone. One of the things I enjoy most about analytics is that it helps us understand not just businesses, but the society we live in. A thoughtful Vesak Day read.

Happy Vesak Day to all who are celebrating. Over 1 million Singaporeans identify as Buddhist — making it the largest religion in the country by a significant margin. But that's just the headline. The real story is what the data reveals when you look a little deeper. How does Buddhism hold up across different generations? Where do Singapore's Buddhists call home? And what does education data tell us about this community's journey? We went through Singapore's 2020 Population Census — a freely available, publicly accessible dataset — and let the numbers speak. Because that's the thing about data: the story is almost always already there. You just need to know what questions to ask. 👉 Click the link in the comments to access the article Derrick Yuen Michael Lee FYT Jeremy Poon Pei Ning Kwok Hoe Choy Kwok Civil Service College Veenaa Subramaniam Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) Viola Yau

AI won't replace an HR team, but it will separate the businesses that use it well from those that don't. FYT Consulting's Principal Consultant Derrick Yuen had the privilege of speaking at Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF)'s HR Forward Series "Navigating AI in HR: Hire, Manage, Comply" alongside legal expert Hui Ling Teo from Beyond Horizons: Aviation, Aerospace, Defense & Space, Bethel Chambers LLC. Together, they brought a rare pairing of the practical and the legal to a room of 50+ professionals from various industries. Here's what the session covered: 💭 AI reshapes the way work happens, not the outcomes organisations are working toward. The destination stays the same, the route is what's changing. 💭 It is not about jobs disappearing, it is about specific tasks evolving. Organisations that understand this distinction will be far better equipped to plan their workforce strategically. 🤖 Not all AI is created equal. Tasks with one right answer call for a different kind of AI than tasks where judgement, context, and nuance matter. Choosing the right tool and understanding its risks is part of the equation. 📓 A governance approach should follow the level of risk involved. Decisions where a misstep carries significant consequences need a human who is accountable in the picture. ♟️ Experienced professionals are an asset in the age of AI. Those who can critically review AI outputs and are willing to grow alongside new tools bring something automation simply cannot replicate. Hui Ling also brought an important perspective that every business leader needs to hear: deploying AI without proper safeguards comes with genuine legal exposure under frameworks like the Workplace Fairness Legislation and PDPA. Knowing the rules before moving is not optional. AI is no longer on the horizon. It is already reshaping workplaces now. The organizations that will come out ahead are those that approach it with clarity and purpose, not just speed. 🗣️ Is AI already being used in the HR or operations space? What has worked, and what has been surprising? Drop thoughts in the comments below. A big thank you to SNEF for the platform, and to every participant who brought such thoughtful questions to the room.

📊 Data doesn't speak for itself — but a great dashboard does. We just wrapped up our 2-Day Power BI Mastery Workshop (14–15 May), and the energy in the room was incredible. Watching participants go from raw datasets to polished, insight-driven dashboards in two days? That's exactly why we do this. Here's what our participants walked away with: ✅ Clean data = reliable dashboards. Using Power Query to properly clean, check, and shape data before building any visual. ✅ The right visual tells the right story. Choosing purposeful charts and measures that communicate clearly — not just look good. ✅ Stakeholder-ready communication. Turning raw numbers into narratives that drive real decisions. ✅ Hands-on confidence. Every concept was practiced and not just presented. We asked participants what they loved most. Here's what they said: 📢 "The hands-on exercises — learning by doing made everything click." 📢 "Networking with others and discovering useful tools I didn't know existed." Looking to upskill yourself or your team? We run a range of practical, hands-on workshops across data, analytics, and professional skills.

Most dashboards show you what happened. Very few help you understand why. 🤔 Our trainer recently visualized Singapore's fiscal position using public Ministry of Finance data and the exercise revealed something every analyst and decision-maker should hear: Raw data without context is just noise. The full article breaks down how adding the right context transformed a confusing chart into a coherent story spanning decades of global events — and more importantly, what questions good analytics should always be asking. 📖 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gXYRxW_X If this resonates with how you think about data in your own work, share it with someone who needs to hear it. ♻️ #Analytics #DataStorytelling #FYTConsulting #SingaporeFinance #CriticalThinking

Our team recently delivered a "Data Storytelling – Making Data Speak" workshop for professionals from the Singapore Civil Service, and it was one of those sessions where the conversations in the room were just as valuable as the content itself. Beyond the tools and techniques, participants wrestled with some genuinely thought-provoking questions: ❓Is data storytelling a hard skill or a soft skill? ❓Is data the story — or does it support the story? ❓Do you need to be an analyst to tell a compelling data story? What emerged was a clear answer💡 Effective data storytelling lives at the intersection of analytical thinking, communication, empathy, and influence. It's not just about charts and dashboards, it's about making insights land. From hands-on case studies to a capstone project where participants transformed raw data into compelling narratives, it was deeply rewarding to see professionals connect theory to real workplace scenarios and grow in confidence communicating their findings. A big thank you to the team at Civil Service College for their excellent coordination, and to all participants who brought energy, curiosity, and challenge to every discussion. 🙏 We look forward to more conversations on making data not just informative — but meaningful, persuasive, and actionable. #DataStorytelling #DataLiteracy #CivilService #FYTConsulting #LearningAndDevelopment

Great things happen when the right questions are asked before the data is even touched. 📊 Our team recently had the privilege of working with over 30 professionals at the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) to explore the data value chain and what it truly takes to turn data into decisions that matter. The key takeaways from the session: ✔️ Analytics starts with a well-defined problem, not a dataset ✔️️ Data doesn't speak for itself, the right questions must come first ✔️ Good analysis separates signal from noise, objectively ✔️ Insights only create value when they lead to real, actionable decisions The most powerful moment? Participants mapping out a real analytics challenge from their own work and discovering just how much rigorous thinking goes into doing this well. Analytics isn't a vending machine. It's a conversation between those who hold the context and those who can make sense of the data. That's the kind of thinking we love building with our clients. Thank you to the team at SEAB for a truly engaging session. 🙏 #DataAnalytics #CriticalThinking #DataLiteracy #FYTConsulting #LearningAndDevelopment
