With all 23 Industry Transformation Maps launched, NWC said that employers should continue or start to operationalise the blueprints to spur more productivity and transformation.

"The productivity gain in 2017 is terrific and we must ride on the momentum to press on with our productivity efforts. ... Successful industry transformation will create better quality jobs, raise skills, pay better, sustainable wages as well as grow the economic pie,' Dr Yap said.

- Idea is posted in 2012 to tackle disruptive tech and is adopted by the Government feature in Budget 2016.
- Now this idea is used in 23 industries where 15 industries led by one Minister-of-State have undergone transformation and has start to reap positive outcome - as a good number of companies have start to reap growth and profit through the newly transformed business.

REACH RWEB Submission feedback RWEB2012050100010 via the REACH website: To raise productivity,

To raise productivity, everyone has a part to play :-
1. Business invest in capital tools and send workers for training
2. Workers upgrade skills to operate capital tools
3. Govt provide grants, provide good education, married govt R&D bodies with business etc
4. Government work with various industry to devise objective and tangible KPI to allow business, workers, union, gov, schools etc to shoot for the KPI.
5. Govt, business, bright individuals should scout overseas countries and industries that have make their industries productive and bring it back to Singapore and transform our business to be more productive.
6. Union encourage, provide relevant course for workers to upgrade
7. School train students in right course, right skills and married industry with courses.
8. Home, family members, social bodies have to support working members to provide a conducive environment for working members to be productive.

Subject: REACH RWEB Submission: Govt agenices working with industries to devise prodictivity figures

To elaborate further :-
(1) Ministry of Comm and iDA – should work with IT industries, foreign IT MNCs, local IT vendors etc to devise objective, tangible KPI productive figures in each technology areas and skillsets vis-à-vis global competition and regional competition – so that IT business and IT workers can target to meet the KPI productivity figures – and peg wage growth in % term and/or absolute term to the productivity figures and business profitability. Communicate this to the IT industries, business, IT workers, Union and schools. Make sure we are competitive with our global competitors and regional competitors.
(2) SLA should do the same with construction sector.
(3) Ministry of Finanace and MAS should work with the banking and financial sector. etc

That is, the concept above is how to transform Singapore Economy in 2016 - sector-by-sector (conceptualising the KPI for each sector) ---- and using targeted approach to transform each sector, each industry one by one.

Only then productivity in each sector, in each industry can be successfully transformed - supported by empirical, scientific measures.

Good that after 4 years --- the idea is taken up.

Singapore is the 3rd highest per capita GDP in the World.
Why are you comparing Singapore to a state?

In case you don't know Singapore per capita GDP is higher than many developed Countries like US, EU, China, Japan, S Korea, Taiwan, ASEAN etc.

And Singapore rank very high as the least corrupt Country in the World.

Not trying to howlian here --- but Singapore bashing has go on for too long - and need to be retaliated to put things in proper perspective.
