Dynamic governance is the key to the success of public institutions in the face of increasing globalisation and unrelenting technological advancements. During this three-day course, Prof Neo Boon Siong will use the framework of Thinking Ahead, Thinking Again and Thinking Across in his best-selling book “Dynamic Governance”, to explain how governments can embed the culture and capabilities that enable continuous learning and change in the midst of uncertainty and rapid change.
