In this series, we talk to our Registered Management Consultants (RMCs) to find out how they have made an impact on their client’s businesses and capability upgrading.
We speak with the director of Corsiva Lab Pte Ltd, a Singaporean web design and mobile apps development agency. Mr Lim Guo Hong shares with us his journey as an RMC and a young founder and director of his company.
1. Hi Guo Hong! Could you tell us a bit more about yourself?
I’m Guo Hong, a director of Corsiva Lab Pte Ltd. We are a digital agency that covers web development, mobile development, digital marketing, and consultancy services.
Since 2017, we have been serving the market from our headquarters in Singapore and multiple offices overseas. As the founder of the company, I have been responsible for the technology and business development aspects of the company since its inception.
2. Why did you decide to become an RMC?
Being an RMC allows me to be recognised for my expertise in the field of consultancy. It helps to establish credibility and allow me to share with my clients on the structured workflow that we are trained in to properly advise our customer. Additionally, I am able to offer value-added services to customers who require those services.
With Enterprise Singapore requiring the consultants leading the project to be certified before any grant support will be provided, this motivation drove me to apply for this position. Even though the requirements have been strict, it is achievable for us to fulfil and maintain the initial requirements, as well as the future requirements. Prior to applying, I was fortunate to already have enough consulting hours clocked. With this intention and completion of the required number of hours, I decided to apply to become an RMC.
3. Could you share with us what the journey to RMC certification was like?
Through the support of IMCS, I was able to gain certification very smoothly. While the idea of attending the courses and having to take a long exam can be quite daunting, it is part of ensuring that IMCS only admits the right individuals into the system.
4. What are some ways being an RMC has helped you?
As an RMC, I have been able to create opportunities both locally and overseas. We have received emails from overseas companies and consultants seeking our consultancy services.
With the network and programme that IMCS offers, my fellow RMCs and I can be kept informed of the latest offerings and adoptions that the market has to offer. Furthermore, being able to exchange information and knowledge has allowed me to stay updated on what my fellow RMCs are working on, and to improve and finetune my processes.
5. Would you recommend IMCS to others for RMC certification?
Yes, definitely! Being an RMC opens up opportunities and being part of the network allows you to share and exchange knowledge.
Also, IMCS advocates a high level of professionalism and ethical conduct to be upheld. This set of values that IMCS upholds demonstrates to your clients your level of work, competency, and experience.
