From the Organisations We've Worked With

"The Competitive Intelligence Briefing gave our strategy team a structured picture of the market that we genuinely did not have before. The format was immediately useful for our planning sessions — not a generic overview, but a properly comparative analysis of our specific competitive set."

KL

Kevin Lim

Head of Strategy, Financial Services

Singapore · March 2025

"Mei Lin worked with our IT and compliance teams in a way that actually made the cross-functional dynamic easier, not harder. The governance framework we received is practical — our teams can maintain it without needing to come back to us for help every quarter."

Priya Tharmarajah

Chief Compliance Officer, Technology Firm

Singapore · February 2025

"We engaged Batik Compass for transformation programme oversight during a fairly complex reorganisation. Arjun was excellent — methodical, clear in his reporting, and genuinely independent rather than aligned with any particular internal faction. The engagement ran over schedule by about a week, but we were kept informed throughout, which made that manageable."

Wei Chen Ng

COO, Professional Services Group

Singapore · January 2025

"We have now commissioned the Competitive Intelligence Briefing three times. The value compounds when you can compare briefings across periods — patterns in competitor behaviour become visible that would not be apparent from a single snapshot. Rohan's team has kept the format consistent in a way that makes those comparisons genuinely useful."

Siti Rahimah

Group Strategy Director, FMCG

Singapore · March 2025

"The data governance engagement was more collaborative than I expected. Mei Lin didn't just hand us a document — she worked through the implementation questions with us and made sure the people who'd actually have to maintain the framework understood how it fitted together. That made a real difference to internal adoption."

Jonathan Krishnan

Head of Data & Analytics, Insurance

Singapore · December 2024

"Straightforward to work with. The scope was exactly as described, the fee was exactly as agreed, and the briefing was delivered on time. What I appreciated most was that the initial scoping conversation was honest — they told us clearly what the engagement could and could not address, rather than overselling it."

How Engagements Have Made a Difference

Strategic Blind Spot Before Board Review

A Singapore-based financial services firm was preparing a three-year strategic plan for board approval. Senior leadership felt they lacked a current, credible picture of how their key competitors were positioned — particularly after two years of market disruption.

Competitive Intelligence Briefing

Batik Compass conducted a focused two-week intelligence engagement covering five primary competitors. The briefing mapped each competitor's service shifts, pricing signals, technology investments, and talent movements using public sources. Delivered in a comparative matrix format for direct leadership review.

Clearer Strategic Direction

The briefing was presented directly at the board strategy session. Two strategic initiatives were reprioritised based on findings. The client has since commissioned quarterly refreshes to maintain ongoing awareness. Total engagement time: 11 business days.

"It changed how we framed the board conversation." — Strategy Director

Fragmented Data Ownership Across Departments

A mid-sized technology company had grown quickly and found itself with data scattered across business units, unclear ownership of customer records, and mounting compliance questions ahead of a regulatory audit. There was no agreed-upon approach to data quality or access control.

Data Governance Framework

A six-week engagement working across IT, compliance, and three business units. Batik Compass assessed the current data landscape, facilitated cross-functional workshops to agree on ownership principles, and produced a governance policy, RACI matrix, and phased implementation plan suited to the company's actual scale.

Audit-Ready Framework in Place

The company entered the regulatory audit with a documented, internally-agreed governance framework. The audit finding on data ownership was resolved. Six months later, the data quality standards documentation is actively maintained by internal teams without external support.

"Practical, not theoretical. That was the difference." — CCO

Multi-Stream Transformation Without Governance

A professional services group was undertaking a simultaneous ERP upgrade, operating model change, and office consolidation. Three months in, progress was inconsistent across workstreams, leadership had limited visibility, and risks were being managed informally — largely by individuals rather than through any structured process.

Transformation Programme Management

Batik Compass joined as an independent programme office for 16 weeks. Arjun established a governance structure, introduced a shared programme dashboard, implemented a formal risk register, and took on the coordination of monthly steering committee reporting. Workstream leads engaged directly with Batik Compass on issues before they escalated.

Transformation Completed on Revised Plan

All three workstreams were completed within the revised timeline agreed in week four. The steering committee reported improved confidence in programme status throughout. The lessons-learned compendium produced at close has since been used to inform governance planning for a subsequent infrastructure project.

"Having an independent hand at the helm made the difference." — COO
