Patrick Oh offers a refreshingly practical perspective on Agile. He worked for years as an automation design engineer before becoming a management consultant, and he has written on management topics, including an article arguing that Agile is largely a rebranding of long-established project-management best practice that he had applied as an engineer and consultant. Today he is a Singapore Certified Management Consultant, listed by TUV SUD as a certified consultant and working with SG Venture Consulting. As a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) consultant, he implements and audits various ISO management systems, including quality and environmental management systems, ISO 14064 greenhouse gas accounting and internal audit, and he delivers performance management and solutions design consulting. He is CIPM (IAPP) certified, has provided PDPA consultancy for more than 13 years, and is active in sustainability practice, sustainability reporting and community development.
In this course, Patrick helps business professionals look past the vocabulary to the disciplines that make Agile work. He opens with a reality check on current and future operating landscapes and compares the waterfall model with Agile, so that learners understand when each approach suits their customers' needs. Moving through Agile values and principles, Scrum and Lean, he connects iterative delivery, short feedback loops and continuous improvement to the good practice he applied long before the Agile label became popular. His client-facing consulting experience is particularly useful in the topics on finding Agile support and preparing for resistance, because introducing a new way of working is as much about people as process. In project execution and tracking, his performance management background helps learners build an Agile team, set a clear vision, assess work performance and measure progress against targets. Learners leave equipped to apply Agile project management sensibly in fast-paced business environments. Rather than treating Agile and waterfall as rivals, he encourages learners to choose and combine practices according to the nature of the work, the organisation's culture and the level of risk involved.
Dr. Siva (Prof. Dr. S. Sivanesan) is a Singapore-based governance, risk and compliance specialist with more than 30 years of experience helping organisations adapt the way they work. He leads business process reengineering, streamlines policies and procedures, and develops crisis management frameworks and plans, and he advises on governance and board matters, enterprise risk management (ERM), internal controls and audit, and sustainability and ESG governance and reporting. He has investigated irregularities and financial fraud and curates ERM frameworks and training roadmaps. His work has taken him to boards, regulators, financial institutions, the public sector and charities across Asia, and he is a keynote speaker on AI and governance, risk culture and the future of internal audit. He holds a Doctorate in Governance, Risks and Sustainability from EIMT, a Masters in Business Systems and a Bachelor of Economics (Accountancy) from Monash University, and a Specialist Diploma in Sustainability Reporting from Temasek Polytechnic. His professional credentials include CIA, CISA and CRISC, and he is ACLP-certified in Singapore and an HRDC-accredited trainer in Malaysia.
Agile project management asks organisations to change long-established ways of working, and Dr. Siva's experience of process reengineering and organisational change gives this WSQ course a practical business focus. As learners compare the waterfall model with agile approaches, explore the values and principles behind Scrum and Lean, and prepare for resistance to change, he helps them see how agile can sit alongside governance, controls and the expectations of senior management. His risk management expertise is valuable when learners consider how agile teams embrace change while still managing risk, and his board advisory background informs how to secure support from decision-makers and set a clear vision for an agile team. In the topics on execution and tracking, he emphasises assessing work performance, continuous improvement and measuring progress against targets in a transparent, accountable way. Learners leave ready to apply agile practices in business settings with confidence and appropriate oversight.

They then explore agile values and principles, the Scrum framework and Lean methodology, and how to prepare for resistance when implementing agile practices. The final topic covers building an agile team around a clear vision, assessing work performance and measuring progress against targets. By bridging traditional project control methods with modern agile practice, Teddy equips professionals to handle evolving business needs, accelerate delivery cycles and sustain continuous improvement.
