This was the overarching message from Singapore\u2019s Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and Salesforce Chair and CEO Marc Benioff at the recent SG Tech Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking of Singapore, our future is to be a hub \u2013 a hub for talent, local and foreign, a hub that\u2019s connected to the rest of the world as efficiently as possible,\u201d Mr Shanmugaratnam said. \u201cAlso a hub\u2026which is predictable, reliable, and resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such hubs are going to be a vital part of the smooth running of the reconfigured, globalised economy, Mr Shanmugaratnam said. But in this new reality, they require a special ingredient \u2013 a clear value set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to avoid thinking about economic objectives as somehow separate from social objectives,\u201d he said. \u201cThey either inflict damage on each other, or they reinforce each other. If we\u2019re able to run a competitive and efficient economy, we\u2019re able to create a lot more opportunities for people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Shanmugaratnam and Mr Benioff outlined the value-based decisions and considerations that must be made by individuals, organisations, and nations, to make the most of the powerful opportunities handed to us by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-compassionate-capitalism\"><b>Compassionate capitalism<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Business will not continue to be all about money, Mr Benioff told us. It will not be focused purely on shareholder returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is about a much greater mission than that,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat is required is a \u2018new capitalism\u2019 \u2013 a compassionate capitalism that is equitable, environmentally sensitive, and human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Salesforce, we put 1% of our equity, 1% of our profit and 1% of all of our employees\u2019 time into a foundation the day we started,\u201d Mr Benioff said. \u201cWe have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars to philanthropy and grants, and delivered five million hours of volunteerism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-people-investing-in-people\"><b>People investing in people<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A major differentiator between nations during the pandemic, Mr Shanmugaratnam said, is whether people believe in the public good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s turning out to be quite an important differentiator,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you think that wearing a mask, or respecting the norms required to keep COVID-19 at bay, are just about your individual rights or preferences then everyone is going to be worse off, including yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nations that have the virus under control are those in which everybody is working towards the same strategic goal, and so they succeed. As a result, they all benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along those same lines \u201ca big differentiator going forward is going to be where the companies and ecosystems of companies treat investing in their people as a responsibility,\u201d Mr Shanmugaratnam said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do it well and the company will be more successful. The real power for the nation, however, is if every company does it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf everyone does the responsible thing, you find that skills will keep moving up and we achieve a more inclusive society,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do in Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-aligning-values-with-operations\"><b>Aligning values with operations<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to choose our values as countries, as companies, and as individuals,\u201d Mr Benioff said. \u201cThen, how do we operationalise our values?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If values are discussed but never operationalised, they will never become reality. That\u2019s the heart of our culture at Salesforce, how we get alignment, communication, awareness. We have to be conscious of our core values.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pandemic, Mr Benioff said, can be \u201cthe great reset to a new, more compassionate, more fair capitalism\u2013stakeholder capitalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All it requires is for businesses to activate their values, rather than simply discuss them, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-good-business-collaborates-with-good-government\"><b>Good business collaborates with good government<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the benefits businesses in Singapore have over other nations is strong government, Mr Benioff said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving a government that can manage during a crisis, this is valuable,\u201d he said. \u201cSingapore has benefited from having a phenomenal government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as important, Mr Shanmugaratnam said, is collaboration between the public and private sectors. This means leading companies find ways to invest in small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) up and down their supply chains, to help all businesses move upwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/2020\/11\/small-business-relief-grants-available-in-singapore.html\" target=\"_blank\" adhocenable=\"false\" rel=\"noopener\">Salesforce Small Business Relief Grants Programme<\/a> is a partnership with the Singapore Business Federation that helps SMBs to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and return to growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf everyone does that, and if you do it across industry clusters, you end up with a spiral that moves up,\u201d Mr Shanmugaratnam said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Success in the future will be defined by values-driven actions, rather than rhetoric. It will be about collaborative thinking and community-minded behaviours, rather than winning at all costs. It will come from a combination of the economic and the social, creating an exciting, more humanistic future that is enabled by great business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <span id=\"authorRoot\" path=\"\/content\/blogs\/sg\/en\/authors\/\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our CEO and Singapore Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam discuss preparing for a post-COVID-19 future, what compassionate capitalism looks like, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sf_justforyou_enable_alt":true,"optimizely_content_id":"8234b423b3024f72a04c3de8ea891d99","post_meta_title":"","ai_synopsis":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"sf_topic":[47,66,41,136],"sf_content_type":[],"coauthors":[97],"class_list":["post-482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sf_topic-business-as-a-platform-for-change","sf_topic-corporate-culture","sf_topic-salesforce-culture","sf_topic-public-sector"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marc Benioff and Tharman Shanmugaratnam on the Great Reset - Salesforce<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/benioff-and-shanmugaratnam-on-great-reset\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Marc Benioff &amp;
