Under this new initiative, the appointed SME Digitalisation & Sustainability Champion will actively participate in the development of the organisation’s digitalisation transformation roadmap & implementation plan, according to company-specific digital vision and sustainability requirements. The Champion will be trained to develop his/her capability to strategise the company’s digital and sustainability journey, such as having visibility to both current and future shipping ecosystems that can help improve their business and operations. Subject to eligibility and approval, the Champion will be fully supported by a project manager and consultant(s) to develop the roadmap plans for the organisation. These can, later on, translate into varying degrees of short and long-term digitalisation initiatives for implementation in the organisation. An expert or mentor can also be assigned to the organisation, to support the Champion to kick-start or continue to implement the various transformation processes.
