FOUR CORE PILLARS

2. Building a network of "frontier thinkers" from SIM members, industry partners, and academia who can drive our members' research and actionable insights.
3. Developing a research content creation and curation capability to deliver practical and pragmatic research to our SIM members.
4. Establishing a platform to deliver the various forms of research and insights and a source of expert voices to provide perspectives, frameworks, and articles to support our members and their business's success.
