​AI is changing how high-performing teams think, build, decide, and operate.

​Join us for Singtel AI Talk | The Secret to Building an AI-Native Team, an in-person and online session exploring what it really takes to move beyond using AI as a productivity tool and start building teams that are AI-native by design.

​We’ll hear from Zixuan Li, Head of Z.ai, who will share practical perspectives on how AI-native teams are formed, how they work differently, and what leaders can do to build new habits, workflows, and operating rhythms around AI.

​This will be followed by a panel discussion with Zixuan Li, Zen Foo, Chief of Staff at Aspire, and Ivan Tung, Founder of Pragnition Labs, NCS, moderated as part of the Singtel AI Talk series. Together, they will explore how fast-moving companies, AI-native product labs, and enterprise teams are adopting AI across teams, what changes in strategy and execution, and how organisations can turn AI from experimentation into everyday capability.

​Whether you are building products, leading teams, driving transformation, or simply curious about how AI will reshape the way organisations work, this session will offer practical insights on how to build teams that can thrive in the AI-native era.
