From August 15 to 17, 2024, OpenWay colleagues from across Asia gathered in Singapore for a unique company event themed “TOGETHERE” (To Get There, Together). The theme served as a powerful reminder that growth and innovation are collective journeys, achieved more effectively when we work in unison.
Attendees included OpenWay team members from Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as participants from Serbia, along with their families. The choice of Singapore, known for its cutting-edge technology and innovation, was intentional. Departing from the usual beach or mountain retreats, the Changi Airport location gave participants the opportunity to learn best practices from one of the world’s leading innovators in airport management in a fun and engaging way. OpenWay, while an expert in digital payments, understands that inspiration from trailblazers across different industries is crucial to fueling its own growth and success. By learning from the best, we’re not just exploring new horizons, we’re setting our sights on innovation that crosses boundaries.
The highlight of the day was the “Changi Amazing Quest Experience”, an innovative team-building event with digital challenges designed to promote teamwork and problem-solving. Teams dived into interactive games, solved puzzles and completed tasks scattered throughout the airport. This dynamic experience gave participants a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the airport’s innovative transformation and operations, from smart airport solutions to eco-friendly practices like energy efficiency and waste reduction. The event was organized by our Human Resources team, who partnered with Changi Airport Group and event specialists at KYUSG to craft an unforgettable experience.
In addition to these activities, we had the opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers. Rudy Gunawan, Managing Directory of OpenWay Asia, emphasized the importance of innovation as a continuous journey—one built on collective effort learning, and improvement. Our path to success, whether as individuals, teams, or as a company, hinges on our ability to grow through innovation and collaboration. The event’s theme reminded us that without this drive for growth, we risk stagnation or decline. In a world constantly evolving, the day was a vivid reminder of the crucial role that innovation and continuous improvement play in shaping our future.
As we return to our respective offices, we will carry with us the inspiration drawn from Singapore’s culture of innovation and Changi Airport’s world-class practices. The spirit of continuous improvement and collaboration will be key as we strive to get “better” together. We hope to see these values reflected in future programs and everyday work, driving collective success and betterment across our organization.
Here’s to getting better, together!
