The Corporate Storyteller

Information and communication skills are among three core competencies for success in the global environment of the 21st Century, as identified by Singapore's Ministry of Education. The other two essential skills are:

• Civic literacy, global awareness and cross-cultural skills
• Critical and inventive thinking
