"The Singapore Human Capital Summit illustrated three things, in my view - a wealth of knowledge and research in the area of human capital development; great willingness to share ideas and approaches among global and regional business leaders and academics; and, a recognition that the solutions for the unique opportunities and challenges of human capital development in the Asian context can be found right here in Asia"

"If there's one thing I'd like people to think about after this Summit, it's letting go of the culture of mindlessly accepting what big corporations do on the premise that 'everybody does it so it must be right'. Instead, companies and their leaders should question, challenge and innovate when it comes to corporate practices and policy."

"Human Capital is vital to both Japan and Singapore where there aren't many other types of resources we can fall back on. I personally feel that the word "Capital" is well chosen; it reflects the importance of people as a country's resource."

"I feel honored to have participated in the Singapore Human Capital Summit. It was a world class event in every respect. Particularly impressive is that the government - rather than the private sector - is taking the lead in planning such a conference, and proactively taking a strategic approach to forward human capital development in Asia."
