SBF launches Future Ready Business Index to help businesses identify gaps and accelerate transformation. The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) today launched the Future Ready Business Index (FRBI), a diagnostic tool that helps Singapore enterprises assess their future readiness, identify capability gaps and prioritise transformation efforts. The FRBI launch was officiated by Senior Minister of State Low Yen Ling, Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), at the inaugural Future Ready Business in Action 2026. The event brought together over 200 business leaders, ecosystem partners and government stakeholders to discuss how enterprises can strengthen resilience, build future-ready capabilities and remain competitive in an increasingly complex global economy. Businesses today must contend with geoeconomic uncertainty, rising costs, decarbonisation pressures, and rapid technological and workforce changes. SBF's National Business Surveys point to a cautious outlook for the business climate - with some improved sentiments in Q2 - while its latest Manpower and Wages survey highlighted just over half of companies have changed their work processes through automation, digitalisation and AI. On the sustainability front, six in 10 companies pursuing decarbonisation are not yet tracking emissions, citing capability and manpower constraints. These findings reinforce the need for tools that help businesses identify capability gaps, prioritise transformation needs and turn priorities into action. One Front Door for Business Transformation The FRBI sits at the heart of SBF's broader Future Ready Business (FRB) platform, which provides businesses with a single front door to move from diagnoses to action. The platform helps businesses: * Diagnose their readiness and identify priority gaps through the FRBI; * Engage with business leaders, policy makers and peers to gain insights and learn from their real transformation journeys; and * Transform through targeted solutions, programmes and ecosystem partnerships. Its four complementary offerings are: * FRB Dialogue - closed-room conversations between senior business leaders and policymakers on the issues shaping organisational resilience * FRB Spotlight - behind-the-scenes visits to companies that have built genuine future-ready capabilities, offering peer-to-peer access to real strategies and lessons * FRB Solutions - targeted clinics, workshops and thematic tracks designed to close specific capability gaps * FRB Marketplace - a curated platform connecting businesses to innovations, solutions and ecosystem partners Together, these offerings connect businesses with the expertise, programmes and partners needed to move from insight to implementation. Refer to Annex A for details on the FRB ecosystem. From Diagnosis to Action Developed by SBF with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), in partnership with DBS Bank, Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and RSM Singapore, the FRBI assesses business readiness across six dimensions: * Success Driven - Business Performance * Scaled Internationally - International Growth * Smart Enabled - Technology * Skills Empowered - Talent * Sustainability Centric - Sustainability * Socially Impactful - Social Impact Businesses receive a personalised assessment highlighting priority capability gaps and recommended areas for action. They are then connected with relevant advisors, programmes and ecosystem partners to address those gaps. Through the wider FRB ecosystem, enterprises can access support in areas including business transformation, finance, internationalisation, enterprise development and professional services. This includes programmes offered through: * Cost and Carbon Reduction Programme (CCRP) * Centre for Enterprise Financing (CEFA) * Centre for Future of Trade & Investment (CFOTI) * Enterprise Workforce Transformation Programme (EWTP) * GlobalConnect * DBS Bridging Business Horizons Programme * DBS ESG Ready Programme * DBS Spark GenAI Programme * DBS SME Skills Booster Programme * SME Sustainability Reporting Programme * Cyber2SME(TM) Programme * Business Adaptation Grant Programme By bringing together complementary capabilities across the ecosystem, the platform helps businesses move more quickly from identifying challenges to implementing practical solutions. Insights From The First 100 Companies BCG also shared early insights from the first 100 companies across different sectors to complete the FRBI. The findings show that transformation outcomes depend not only on ambition, but also how well business strategy, workforce capabilities and financial readiness are aligned. By assessing these interconnected areas, the FRBI helps businesses identify what may be holding them back and focus on the gaps that matter most. Mr Mark Lee, Chairman, SBF, said, "Businesses today need to be both resilient and ready to seize new opportunities. The Future Ready Business ecosystem helps businesses make clearer decisions on where to invest and which capabilities to build across technology, workforce transformation, productivity and growth. Future-readiness is ultimately about having the clarity and capabilities to act decisively, even amid uncertainty." Mr Kok Ping Soon, CEO, SBF, said, "Many companies want to transform but are unsure where to begin. The FRBI cuts through the noise by showing businesses where they stand, what gaps matter cost and what actions to prioritise. It then connects them to the right programmes and partners to turn insight into future-ready capabilities." Mr Lim Him Chuan, Singapore Country Head, DBS Bank, said "From our roots as the Development Bank of Singapore, helping businesses build future-ready capabilities is in our DNA. Over the years, we have worked alongside businesses and ecosystem partners through programmes and partnerships that strengthen resilience and unlock new growth opportunities. We are encouraged to see this ecosystem continue to mature, creating greater breadth and depth of support for businesses. The Future Ready Business Index builds on that momentum by helping businesses bridge the gap between diagnosis and execution, drawing on expertise across the ecosystem to turn future-ready ambitions into tangible outcomes." Mr Terence Ang, Head of Advisory, RSM Singapore, said, "Successful transformation requires businesses to look beyond technology and consider how people, processes and governance work together to support change. The FRBI offers a structured approach that helps businesses gain a more holistic view of their capabilities and identify where they can strengthen their readiness for the future." Ms Mariam Jaafar, Managing Director and Senior Partner, Boston Consulting Group, said, "The FRBI looks at the capabilities that enable businesses to perform today and be future ready and adapt as their markets, customers and operating environments change. Its six dimensions were developed from research, industry insights and our experience working with businesses on transformation. Together, they provide a practical way for businesses across industries and stages of development to assess their current capabilities, identify gaps and focus their transformation efforts where they can have the greatest impact." Voices from Businesses - Future-Readiness in Practice The event featured a Keynote Address by Mr Hanno Kirner, Chief Executive Officer, Dyson, who shared how their organisation approached transformation in practice - from the strategic choices made in response to shifting market and operational conditions, to the capabilities they had to prioritise to sustain growth over the longer term. A closing panel moderated by Musa Fazal, Chief Policy and Operating Officer of SBF, brought together Ms Mariam Jaafar, Managing Director and Partner of BCG, Ms Chin Wei Jia, Executive Director and Group CEO of HMI Medical, and Mr Jerald Tew, Founder of SPIN Fans. The discussion examined how businesses can balance immediate pressures with longer-term investments in technology, talent, resilience and new growth opportunities. Monday, 21 September 2026

Kenya moves to establish first National Lottery Operator. August 20, 2026 Discover more Subscribing To International News Magazines Streaming Historical War Documentaries Businesses National Lottery Board Chairperson Dr Farida Karoney said that the National Lottery will fund charitable and humanitarian work, uplifting communities across the country. The National Lottery Board has set the ball rolling for the establishment of Kenya's first National Lottery Operator whose proceeds will go towards uplifting communities across the country. Speaking during a media briefing in Nairobi, National Lottery Board Chairperson Dr. Farida Karoney said a consortium led by RSM Eastern Africa in partnership with QLOT Consulting of Sweden had been appointed to guide the process. She said that the consortium will work closely with the Board from transaction structuring through to operator onboarding and launch readiness adding that the appointment was a culmination of an open international tender conducted under the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015. Dr. Karoney said that the tendering process was evaluated using the Quality and Cost Based Selection methodology. "The consortium emerged as the highest-ranked and most responsive bidder," she said. Discover more Tracking Executive Branch Policy Changes businesses "RSM Eastern Africa brings depth in transaction advisory and institutional strengthening across Kenya's public sector," said Dr. Karoney, adding: "QLOT Consulting, an Associate Member of the World Lottery Association, brings internationally benchmarked experience from the world's most sophisticated lottery procurements." The assignment includes a structured knowledge-transfer programme, so that expertise is retained within the Board, she pointed out. "The appointment of a credible, multidisciplinary Transaction Advisor is a defining step in building a National Lottery that Kenyans can trust. It is a statement of intent that our National Lottery will be structured transparently, governed responsibly, and built to international best practice, with every shilling raised channelled toward good causes that uplift communities across the country," she affirmed. The Board is established under the National Lottery Act, No. 20 of 2023 with a dedicated mandate: to establish, oversee and safeguard Kenya's National Lottery, to procure and contract its Operator, and to administer the National Lottery Fund. The licensing and regulation of gaming in Kenya more broadly rests with the Gambling Regulatory Authority established under the Gambling Control Act, No. 14 of 2025. The Operator will be licensed within that framework while remaining contractually accountable to the Board two mandates that are distinct and complementary. Discover more Subscribing To Online Reference Libraries Exploring Guided Local City Tours Streamlining Operations Software For Business At the centre of the National Lottery is not the games but what it funds. After prizes and the cost of running the lottery, proceeds are paid into the National Lottery Fund and dedicated by law to good causes: charitable and humanitarian work, economic empowerment for young people and women, sports, the arts and creative economy, national heritage, health and education, emergency response, and transformative national projects. In practice, that means backing grassroots sporting talent, helping young people earn from their skills and their creativity, and investing in community projects countrywide. Funds will be disbursed from the National Lottery Fund in accordance with published rules, shared fairly across the country, audited independently, and reported openly. Responsible gaming will be designed into the National Lottery rather than added to it, with age verification, play and spend controls, self-exclusion, disciplined advertising and clear disclosure of odds embedded in the Operator's obligations. The Board's attention now turns to structuring a transparent, competitive process to attract a credible Operator. Timelines will be published in due course; the Board will not trade rigour for speed.
National Lottery Board appoints transaction adviser for Kenya's first national lottery. NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 20 - The National Lottery Board has appointed a consortium led by RSM Eastern Africa and Sweden-based QLOT Consulting as transaction adviser for the establishment of Kenya's first National Lottery. Board Chairperson Dr Farida Karoney announced the appointment on Thursday during a media briefing in Nairobi, saying the consortium had emerged as the highest-ranked bidder following an open and competitive international tender. Karoney said the procurement process was conducted in accordance with the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, with bids evaluated using the Quality and Cost Based Selection method, which considers both technical quality and cost. "The consortium we are announcing today emerged as the highest-ranked and most responsive bidder," Karoney said, describing the process as rigorous, transparent and competitive. RSM Eastern Africa will provide expertise in transaction advisory, governance and institutional strengthening, as well as knowledge of Kenya's public-sector, legal and fiscal environment. QLOT Consulting, an associate member of the World Lottery Association, will bring international lottery-sector expertise, including experience in national lottery procurements. The consortium will advise the Board through the planned procurement of Kenya's first National Lottery operator. Its mandate will cover concession structuring, legal advisory, financial modelling, technical and cybersecurity standards, market engagement, bid evaluation, contracting and financial close. Karoney said the engagement would also prioritise knowledge transfer and strengthening the Board's internal capacity. "We are not buying advice; we are building capability," she said, adding that expertise acquired during the engagement should remain within Kenya after the advisers complete their assignment. She said the future National Lottery operator would be licensed and supervised under Kenya's regulatory framework while remaining contractually accountable to the Board for the integrity and performance of the lottery, as well as compliance with good-causes obligations. Karoney said proceeds from the lottery, after payment of prizes and operating costs, would be channelled into the National Lottery Fund to finance public-benefit programmes. The programmes are expected to support charitable and humanitarian causes, economic empowerment, sports, arts and culture, national heritage, health and education, emergency response and transformative national projects. The Board plans to introduce rules-based allocation, independent auditing, competitive assessment and public reporting to promote accountability in the management of the Fund. Karoney said the framework would also seek to ensure geographical equity so that communities across the country benefit from lottery proceeds. Responsible gaming will also be incorporated into the design of the National Lottery. Proposed safeguards include age verification, play and spending limits, self-exclusion mechanisms, transparent advertising, disclosure of odds and prizes, as well as public education and research on gambling-related harm. The Board will now work with the transaction adviser to structure a transparent and competitive process for selecting a credible National Lottery operator. It said details of the operator-procurement timeline would be published in due course but did not provide a launch date or disclose the expected contract value. The Board also did not identify potential bidders for the operator contract.
