Summary

2017 marks the 50th year of Singapore's national productivity drive. This book provides a comprehensive account of the phases, milestones and activities of the productivity drive from its humble beginnings in 1967. The coverage ranges from the assistance that Singapore received through the United Nations Development Programme and the Japan-Singapore Productivity Development Project, to the national campaigns and programmes to build competencies in enterprises and the workforce.The various developments are placed in the context of the economic environment and the priorities of the country at different points in time. This makes it clear why certain policies were implemented and why the productivity drive was transformed as Singapore progressed from a developing country to a developed country. Drawing insights from the 50-year history, the book concludes with a list of issues for reflection.

    It's always been known that the job of being CIO is a tough job. One of the reasons that this job is so hard to do well is because we stand on shifting ground. The technology that we use goes out of style and then gets replaced by new technology almost overnight. 
    
     
    What You'll Find Inside: 
    
    CRM NEWS: THE BUSINESS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING
    PRACTICAL IT CLOUDS: WHAT TO DO AFTER THE HYPE
    UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CIOS TO SHOW THEIR VALUE
    WEB 3.0 IS COMING – ARE CIOS READY? 
    
    
     
    One of your tasks as CIO is to be able to take a look at new and emerging technologies and determine which of these will impact your company. Due to the size of this task, it is often helpful to go to outside sources to get help in evaluating all of the new technologies. Almost all of the emerging technologies involve massive amounts of data. How to store, process, and create results from this data is one critical new technology that all CIOs will have to master. 
    
     
    In the world of IT, big projects make up a lot of what we do. Things like implementing new and novel customer relationship management (CRM) systems or special purpose applications like have been done for the London Stock Exchange are what we do. However, once done, we are then responsible for ensuring that our creations stay up and running. 
    
     
    Decisions are a key part of being a CIO. No matter if it's trying to decide between an Apple based product or a Windows product, these are never easy decisions. As changes have rolled through the world of healthcare, CIOs have been drawn in and have had to make many different decisions about how systems should operate. 
    
     
    Keeping your company out in front of the competition is part of the job of being CIO. What this entails these days is that you need to be able to implement complex-event processing and start to move key business applications to the cloud.

    People functioning at the highest level are what the authors call 10x leaders. Research on these leaders consistently brought up five major strengths. This book teaches readers to become a 10x leader using these five key areas, the SHARP framework.Strengths: 10X leaders stop trying to eliminate weaknesses and learn to focus on their strengthsHealth: 10X leaders stop trying to eliminate stress and learn how to integrate periods of restorationAbsorption: 10X leaders stop waiting for the lightning of focus and creativity to strike and learn how to achieve consistent engagement and presenceRelationships: 10X leaders stop trying to exert power and control and learn to cultivate healthy relationships through positivity and authenticityPurpose: 10X leaders stop grinding out tasks and learn how to find meaning and commitment in everything they do 
    The 10X elixir of peak performance comes not from focusing on just one of these areas but from learning to light the fire of all five aspects of SHARP and functioning naturally with them on a daily basis. If you just cultivate one or two aspects of leadership skills, you are unlikely to succeed.
