South East Asia Business Awards 2025

APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 7 Businesses worldwide sit on a goldmine of exclusive data – but many still struggle to translate it into actionable insight. This inability to extract meaningful analysis can stall strategic decisionmaking and block measurable growth. FYT Consulting bridges that gap, delivering hands-on data analytics training that empowers clients to spot opportunities, mitigate risks, and fuel sustainable success. As the firm is recognised in the South East Asia Business Awards 2025, we caught up with Co-Founder and Principal Consultant Derreck Yuen to learn more. Since 2013, FYT Consulting has been equipping professionals with the confidence and skills to use data meaningfully in their roles, regardless of their technical background. This specialist firm focuses on building practical, sustainable data and AI capabilities within individuals and organisations, as well as supporting organisations in embedding data-driven and AI-enabled thinking into their culture, strategy, and workforce planning. Across its operations, FYT Consulting’s work is grounded in five core values: integrity in analysis with honest, databacked insights to support clear decisions; practical solutions, with all teachings and recommendations actionable and realistic; end-to-end skills, focusing on the full data value chain; empowerment through building long-term capability, not dependency; and collaboration, always working closely alongside its clientele to co-create success. FYT Consulting serves an array of clientele, including mid-career professionals seeking practical upskilling, alongside corporations and public sector organisations that strive to make better decisions with their data and adopt AI wisely. At its core, FYT Consulting aims to empower each client it serves, enabling them to think critically, ask the right questions, and apply data and AI solutions that deliver real-world impact. Its services span a broad range – from analytics and AI productivity workshops to strategic workforce planning, HR analytics advisory, and AI-driven job redesign. These solutions are delivered directly through the firm’s FYT Analytics Academy and also through trusted training partners across both Singapore and Malaysia. FYT Consulting’s trainers are all ACLP and HRDF certified, enabling the firm to deliver quality learning experiences to clients across the region. What truly distinguishes FYT Consulting isn’t just the breadth of its services – but how those services are designed and delivered. The firm takes a human-centred approach to its operations, electing to not only train people to use tools but help them develop the mindset, skills, and judgement to make sense of data and AI in real work settings. Whether through relatable examples in workshops or hands-on consulting engagements, FYT Consulting focuses on sustainable change – not broad training for quick fixes. This philosophy underpins FYT Consulting’s growing role as a strategic transformation partner for South East Asian organisations. Rather than offering generic AI solutions, the firm helps clients identify the right AI for the right problems – delivering measurable transition roadmaps and developing the workforce needed to execute them. This includes practical consulting, strategic workforce planning, and capability development – delivered not just at the leadership level but at the working level, where change really takes root. That holistic focus has also shaped how FYT Consulting responds to emerging trends. In response to the rise of generative AI raising new questions and uncertainties, the firm has launched AI productivity workshops and job redesign services that help clients to understand the difference between task-level automation and job-level transformation. It shows them how to map out work processes, identify what AI can augment, and redesign roles to elevate human strengths, such as judgement, empathy, and critical thinking. “We also emphasize that dataanalytics remains a core skill,” said Derreck. “Especially when combined with the right AI prompts and tools like language learning models. Our programmes now help professionals to integrate these capabilities for greater productivity and insight.” Looking ahead, the remainder of 2025 will see FYT Consulting playing a more strategic role in helping organisations navigate two major shifts: the rapid rise of AI and growing global market uncertainty. These accelerating forces are pushing businesses to rethink traditional workforce models – shifting towards leaner, more agile teams powered by the right AI tools for the right problems. But, for FYT Consulting, this evolution is not just about technology; it is about people. Through tailored consulting services, measurable AI roadmaps, strategic workforce planning, and targeted reskilling initiatives, FYT Consulting is uniquely equipped to guide clients through this transition. As Derreck concluded: “In short, our future plans aren’t just about more training – they’re about enabling transformation. We’re scaling our consulting and advisory services in parallel with our learning offerings to help organisations make the final leap into a truly AIready workforce.” Contact: Derrick Yuen Company: FYT Consulting Pte Ltd Web Address: www.fytconsultants.com Best Data Analytics Business Partner 2025 AIS-May25038
