Two memorable
experiences stood out for me – one with my CEO and the other was with my
Chief HR Officer. The experience with my CEO occurred during his closing
address at one of my company’s leadership development programs. His simple
question was “What’s next?” This simple question if reflected and acted upon
earnestly, will prevent us from being complacent and drive us to
conscientiously think ahead always.
The second experience was a conversation with our CHRO during this year’s HR
leadership meeting. When asked what words of wisdom she could offer to guide
us into 2011, she said “Always stay close and relevant to the business”,
which we all knew was meant to inspire us to continue to add value and be
strategic partners to the business.
If I may add, I would say, “Stay close to doing what you love, stay relevant
and ahead by developing future capabilities needed to be successful in the
near future”.

Asia Pacific
Education Market: PECC-APRU Study
The project
will examine developments in the education sector and the
opportunities and challenges they present for regional
economic integration and community building in the Asia
Pacific. For this purpose, the project will report on
trends in the various modes of supply of education services
across international borders and identify impediments to
efficient international cooperation in this sector. Behind
these developments are a number of changes in the domestic
arrangements for, and in the demand for and supply of,
tertiary education around the region. This includes the
interest in achieving higher rates of participation in
tertiary education, including in already developed
economies. The project will examine these trends and
identify implications for both providers and consumers and
for options for international cooperation. It also aims to
review work on the outlook for the demand for education in
various PECC member economies, including the influence of
economic growth and demographic change, and its implication
for international cooperation in the provision of education
services.
SHRI has
been nominated as the country representative
to prepare a case study titled- "Challenges and
Opportunities in the in-employment Education Market- A
Singapore Perspective”. This is one of the nine papers
nominated from Asia-Pacific for this broader International
Project.
The case study had been released in the book "Globalisation
and Tertiary Education in the Asia Pacific: The Changing
Nature of a Dynamic Market" published by World Scientific.
