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.
Available since: 12/26/2017.

    Have you ever thought about how to plan in a way that truly enables you to accomplish your goals? Most people don’t plan. We don’t plan because we have never been taught HOW to plan. Without a plan it’s difficult, and sometimes impossible, to achieve your goals. The secret to accomplishing anything is to utilize bite-sized plans that move a person or organization through small steps that can be tracked on a daily and weekly basis. The smaller the steps the more likely the plan will successfully move toward the larger goal. Moreover, small plans are easy to change as you measure the success (or failure) of each smaller bite-sized step.  Before you can plan, you need to set a goal. People often have big ideas, and fail to realize that ideas must be turned into goals first, before they can successfully see their plan come to fruition.  Learn what a goal is, and how to set clear and attainable goals. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound. Once a goal is established, no matter how big or audacious that goal is, you can then create a plan to accomplish it.  In this course, you will learn how to set, measure and attain tiny actionable steps that successfully move you toward your MEGA goal. You’ll learn about KPIs and OKRs, and learn how to best use nano meetings to keep your plans on track. You’ll learn that you can achieve big ideas when you set goals and then create small, even tiny, plans that you track and measure.   No matter how lofty your goal, learning and implementing these tried and true techniques will move you forward and help you achieve your most ambitious goals.
