Dr Patrick Loh Profile

Prof. (Dr) Patrick Loh has a total of about 25 years of experience spanning various fields in industry, consulting, publishing, training and business, including about 11years in the academia, and managing the operations of professional educational institutions. He is currently the Principal Consultant/Chief learning officer of Knowledgeworks Consultants which focused on developing creative solutions to global problems and challenges through own research, publications, training programmes, and consultancy services. He received his Ph.D from the University of Sunderland (UK) and Master of Commerce from the University of Strathclyde (Scotland) and professional qualifications in management, marketing, and communication studies from the U.K.

He has written 11 books to date. Some of the most recent ones include "Spirituality & leadership responsibilities and development. Amity Global Journal, Vol. 5, No. 1, 18 Aug. 2018)" , “Managing in the global economic downturn” and “Future of Innovation & Enterprise.” 

It is believed most of the ideas from these books were incorporated into the Economic Strategies Committee’s recommendations, and now adopted by the Singapore government for restructuring, and developing new business models for the economy.

He has also reviewed and presented papers in global conferences such as Global IT management conferences (USA) and IBIMA.

He is  currently focusing on the total development of the individual well-being (total wholeness and wellness of the physical being, including mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, from a lowly based person to a person of high spirituality and virtuosity) as a way to unlock the full potential of the individual soul for optimal living, performance and contribution. 

He believes most organizational problems have one thing in common - issues with spiritual and moral leadership. He believes that with spiritual maturity and wisdom (spiritual-mental, character and moral development), one is able to view the world with new perspectives, and uncover and develop good and new values, principles, purposes and meanings in life.

He is currently focusing on some of the latest and innovative techniques, skills, and programmes ranging from spirituality and sacredness of education, work and business to more spiritual and transcendental forms of leadership (as an ultimate guide and panacea for true, authentic and effective leadership) so as to transform and take your organization to the next level of growth and development.

Through all these programmes, it is also hoped to transform all the global, social, business and educational landscapes to become more authentic, caring, compassionate, collaborative, and people living and contributing more fully.
