Great Telco 2.0 start but creating scale via Associates is like herding cats

Introduction

This 154-page PowerPoint style PDF report (and accompanying Excel data pack) examines the transformation efforts of the SingTel Group in moving to be a Telco 2.0 Service Provider. The report also examines SingTel’s positioning and growth prospect in its two subsidiaries (Singapore and Australia) and four main associates markets (Thailand, India, Philippines and Indonesia).

In 2012, SingTel fundamentally changed its management organisation to reflect its Digital aspiration - moving from a geographic-based organisation to a customer segment oriented one with the creation of SingTel’s Enterprise, Consumer and Digital L!fe business units.  The report examinse how Singtel's new organisation has identified and is now leveraging its key assets: reach, customer insights, local knowledge and billing mechanisms to become a major Digital player in the Asian region.

The report shows that industry partnerships are scarce and SingTel seems to prefer organic build (Mobile Wallet, AMPed2.0, myBusiness) and acquisitions (Amobee, HungryGoWhere, Eatability) to build pan-Asian Digital solutions. SingTel has also recently deployed 4G network in its subsidiaries markets, nonetheless this analysis highlights a challenging technology transformation.
