6/5/24, 10:00 am - +REACH: 📢 *Topic* 📢
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung spoke at the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) Community Care Work Plan Seminar 2024 where he stressed the need for Active Aging Centres to have better outreach, more interesting activities and stronger partnerships with community care groups to “take good care of our seniors” and keep them healthy and active.
💬 *What are your thoughts on the current outreach and activities for our seniors? What more can we do as a community to promote active ageing and keep our seniors healthy?*
*📌 Free and Welcoming Activities*
Minister Ong Ye Kung emphasized the importance of providing free and engaging activities for seniors, such as communal dining and various recreational programs. By making these activities accessible, he aims to combat loneliness and social isolation among the elderly.
📌 *Partnerships and Outreach*
He stressed the need for strong partnerships between active ageing centers (AACs) and community care groups to reach out to seniors effectively. Mobilizing volunteers to engage with seniors living alone and leveraging data to identify areas with high senior populations are key strategies in this effort.
📌 *Comprehensive Healthcare Support*
Minister Ong Ye Kung's approach includes integrating health services into AAC activities and streamlining care assessments to address the healthcare needs of older seniors, particularly those with chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. This ensures that seniors receive continuous support and care as they age.

6/5/24, 11:16 am - +SL: Maybe no more obu is required… all go digital and chipless?
6/5/24, 11:16 am - +Nic Freehold: whenever there’s 40-60% of elderly, 50 years and older. There should be a Elder care and planning Center
6/5/24, 11:17 am - +Nic Freehold: AIC is only the medical aspect
6/5/24, 11:18 am - +Nic Freehold: Someone w patience
Social worker
CPF
Civil defence
Integrated services
6/5/24, 11:18 am - +Frankie Wee: Setup new committee elderly service centre
6/5/24, 11:18 am - +~l or Smiley face: Good morning SL, ...
Yes, full digital system with 5G tech.
6/5/24, 11:19 am - +Nic Freehold: You keep mentioning our group is good. Some national press mention or reward NTUC voucher would be helpful
6/5/24, 11:22 am - +Kenneth Lee WM: I would suggest funding religious organizations to plan activities for the seniors. Most of these organisations already have the volunteers doing some sort of senior activities. With extra funding, they may even able to do more or even hire dedicated headcount to plan for better activities.
But I also realise that the government has other funding priorities which needs to be balanced.
6/5/24, 11:22 am - +Frankie Wee: https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/01/09/1065135/japan-automating-eldercare-robots/
6/5/24, 11:23 am - +Frankie Wee: There will be no longer nurse caregivers if technology is advance.
6/5/24, 11:36 am - +SL: AAC is a good start, seniors can visit and come together for community events.
6/5/24, 11:36 am - +SL: Good morning -I 🙏
6/5/24, 11:38 am - +SL: 6G the incorporation of all, all in 1..🤔
6/5/24, 11:40 am - +SL: Just curious why not directly or collaboration but instead funding?
6/5/24, 11:42 am - +Nic Freehold: Seriously don’t view elderly as liabilities. CIA use the elderly as part of their spy network
6/5/24, 11:43 am - +Thank You Woman: Good idea also have to take note that some elderly does not have any religion hence how to keep them inclusive
6/5/24, 11:43 am - +Kenneth Lee WM: I was thinking of gov social worker headcount. Headcount costs and responsibilities are very high to organizations. Need to plan for their careers etc.
Give money easier and cheaper. If Hv give, don’t hv, give less or don’t give.
If stuck with headcount, cannot just sack the person.
6/5/24, 11:59 am - +Nic Freehold: Please don’t. Religions divide us racially
6/5/24, 12:00 pm - +Rama: Inter religious organisation efforts not always possible.
6/5/24, 12:00 pm - +Nic Freehold: I hope globally all humans see how American extremists have weaponised and also monetised Christianity to pull political strings
6/5/24, 12:00 pm - +Nic Freehold: We are SINGAPORE
6/5/24, 12:00 pm - +Nic Freehold: not malaysia
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Rama: Still!
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Nic Freehold: They have racially aligned parties
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Nic Freehold: Creating tiny kingdoms
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Nic Freehold: Same w religion
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Rama: Yes, they do!
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Nic Freehold: NOOOOOOO
6/5/24, 12:01 pm - +Rama: Disagree
6/5/24, 12:02 pm - +Nic Freehold: have you seen how some Christians talk dismissively to Taoist families
6/5/24, 12:02 pm - +Nic Freehold: And Baptise the elderly so they can go heaven
6/5/24, 12:02 pm - +Nic Freehold: But the family splits apart
6/5/24, 12:02 pm - +Nic Freehold: Gerald drive should be a HARSH lesson
6/5/24, 12:03 pm - +Nic Freehold: Religion should not receive state funds
6/5/24, 12:03 pm - +Nic Freehold: State and religion SEPARATE
6/5/24, 12:03 pm - +Nic Freehold: we are secular
6/5/24, 12:03 pm - +Nic Freehold: Go back to your school pledge
6/5/24, 12:04 pm - +Nic Freehold: Unless you weren’t born and gone through the system
6/5/24, 12:04 pm - +Rama: Agree
6/5/24, 12:04 pm - +Rama: Yes
6/5/24, 12:04 pm - +Rama: Pledge is superficial to the current generation
6/5/24, 12:05 pm - +Rama: Likewise
6/5/24, 12:05 pm - +Rama: Were you!?
6/5/24, 12:05 pm - +Rama: Definitely
6/5/24, 12:05 pm - +Rama: Hopefully purgatory
6/5/24, 12:06 pm - +Rama: Rudely!
6/5/24, 12:07 pm - +Nic Freehold: when we are old near death some try to grasp straws
6/5/24, 12:07 pm - +Nic Freehold: So religion heads take advantage
6/5/24, 12:08 pm - +Nic Freehold: Easily
6/5/24, 12:08 pm - +Nic Freehold: Christianity In USA go research
6/5/24, 12:08 pm - +Rama: Depending on the length of the straw
6/5/24, 12:08 pm - +Rama: Tv evangelism is a massive fraud !
6/5/24, 12:10 pm - +D LwT: King and Queen to make state visit to Singapore https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2024/05/05/king-and-queen-to-make-state-visit-to-singapore
6/5/24, 12:10 pm - +Nic Freehold: What about atheists? We don’t get support?
6/5/24, 12:10 pm - +D LwT: https://www.todayonline.com/features/why-some-young-adults-spore-under-insured-2415851
6/5/24, 12:10 pm - +Nic Freehold: this article is to help financial planners to talk w prospects
6/5/24, 12:12 pm - +D LwT: The biggest bank n financial super rich is government
6/5/24, 12:12 pm - +Rama: Yes
6/5/24, 12:20 pm - +Nic Freehold: Not initially. It was OCBC. Malayan Banking spun from it
6/5/24, 12:20 pm - +Nic Freehold: Imagine OCBC + Maybank possibly bigger than DBS today
6/5/24, 12:21 pm - +Nic Freehold: Agree in the sense DBS bought POSB toooooo cheap. Who approved that deal?
6/5/24, 12:21 pm - +Rama: Ocbc and Uob!?
6/5/24, 12:21 pm - +SL: I think we should focus on AAC activities or ways to help AAC much better and not bring religious org into the topic..
6/5/24, 12:22 pm - +Nic Freehold: POSB if existed today if sold auction would probably be worth so much that Singaporeans can get $1000 each
6/5/24, 12:23 pm - +SL: Insurance is to transfer risk. All basic risks are covered by Medishield and cpf; are they too young to consider other insurance?
6/5/24, 12:23 pm - +Rama: Quietly bought over by DBS with then President OTC finding out in the press rather than being informed prior according to rules put in place!
6/5/24, 12:24 pm - +Nic Freehold: President wasn’t informed? Then it’s Daylight robbery !
6/5/24, 12:26 pm - +Liang Wei: 1) Give seniors free transportation from around 50. It increases the likelihood that people will use public transportation and walk more which in itself promotes health n activity. Longer runway to promote walking.
Reward the Design of buildings with attractive staircases that promote climbing. This has been shown to work. The style n location of staircases impact whether someone use them.
2) Make healthy food cheaper than unhealthy food at Hawker centres
3) Anyone who can get organised n can meet societal health objectives should be funded, religious or not. Don't discriminate against religion as well as they are an existing community resource. Less taxing than re creating structures. Eg fund activities that promote physical activity especially if they can organise across societal segments
6/5/24, 12:34 pm - +Liang Wei: 4) Look into funding stem cell treatment that can translate into mobility gains. When the legs give way, life starts to unravel. Better to fund regenerative medicine than fund rescue medicine may be a mindset shift needed. If it has good results for mobility, fund it
6/5/24, 12:38 pm - +Rama: Believe it was related to him questioning the government on what is our actual reserve and k shanmugam saying in Parliament that it will take 50 years to come back with an answer! Also, he was DPM when he sanctioned a strike which alarmed foreign embassies which resulted in numerous phone calls to our government. Believed that is why GCT did not support his reelection as president for a second time!

Space Technology Drives Singapore’s Smart Cities and Urban Mobility Revolution
Singapore, the dynamic city-state known for its innovation and urban development, has firmly embraced space technology to propel its Smart Nation initiative and revolutionize urban mobility. With a keen eye on enhancing infrastructure, improving traffic management, and driving sustainability, Singapore is leveraging space data and satellite technology to shape its future. Singapore’s growing relationship with space technology is pivotal in achieving its smart city goals and revolutionizing urban mobility.
Space Data and Urban Mobility
One of the standout applications of space technology in Singapore is in urban mobility and traffic management. The *Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system, a cornerstone of Singapore’s traffic management, utilizes Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology*. This technology enables *real-time traffic monitoring, transport planning, and provides motorists with instant updates on traffic conditions and charging locations*. It’s a testament to how *space data can optimize the daily commuting experience in a bustling metropolis*.
“ *With GNSS, we will be able to better collect aggregated traffic data, to help improve traffic management and transport planning*. Motorists will also enjoy more value-added services, such as *advance alerts on charging locations, real-time traffic information and road safety advisories*.”
-Ministry of Transport, Singapore
Space data is also indispensable for ensuring urban security and fostering innovation in Singapore’s Smart City initiatives. For instance, the *precise positioning provided by GNSS or GPS is essential for enabling autonomous vehicles to navigate the city safely*. *Without this technology, the development of autonomous transportation systems would be significantly more challenging*.

Mapping and Geospatial Applications
Singapore’s Smart Nation vision relies heavily on mapping and geospatial applications powered by space technology. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) leads the charge in harnessing geospatial information and technology to drive the Smart Nation and Future Economy initiatives. By using space-based data and advanced ground technologies, SLA creates highly accurate maps and geospatial information that enhance the daily lives of Singaporeans.
Space technology goes beyond urban mobility in Singapore. It is also vital in sustainability efforts, particularly in monitoring sea levels and vertical land motion. Given its vulnerability to rising sea levels, these factors are critical for managing and protecting Singapore’s coastline. Combining space data with ground-based and airborne data, Singapore can develop comprehensive strategies to safeguard its coastal areas. (Read more here)
Space Technology’s Growing Role
As Singapore continues to push forward with its Smart City initiatives, space data and technology are poised to become even more indispensable. It extends beyond traffic management to influence security, sustainability, and smart technology adoption. With more than 60 local and international space companies already based in Singapore, employing thousands of professionals and researchers, the city-state is well-positioned to harness the full potential of space technology in its journey toward becoming a Smart Nation.
Singapore’s embrace of space technology is unprecedentedly transforming urban living and mobility. From optimizing traffic management through GNSS technology to bolstering sustainability efforts, space data is at the heart of Singapore’s Smart Nation vision. As the city-state continues to innovate and explore the possibilities of space technology, its future as a model Smart City looks brighter than ever.

In future, when autonomous vehicles become more prevalent, ERP with RFID become useless.
You will need a satellite base ERP 2.0 with cloud to work with all the sensors on the ground for autonomous vehicles to operate safety.
6/5/24, 1:47 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Current Tesla pilotless autonomous cars has trigger many car clash.
Will need to upgrade the road infrastructure with IT technologies to support future autonomous driverless cars.
As well as to support dynamic pricing of road usage that cannot be supported by current RFID and gantry system.
Satellite gnss - cover country wide road infrastructure.

Autonomous driverless cars is an IoT (internet of things) - work with cloud based system.
RFID how to work?
Driverless car (AI) work with road sensors, radar, etc - need to upload to cloud at the control center by 5G.
Need to work with satellite gps for location tracking, congestion information - provided by ERP 2.0 gnss satellite.
And upload to cloud.
Dynamic pricing road usage charges by ERP 2.0 satellite - upload to cloud.
That's why we need obu with satellite adapter to work.
How does RFID Taiwan system support future AI driverless cars?

It is like we are still Kampong, a muddy track for bicycle will do.
Why need highway for cars?
If we have this mindset, Singapore will still be a Kampong.
6/5/24, 2:10 pm - +Boon Phing: I'm not sure what the real insight is here. GNSS/GPS has been used by industry in many places. With technological advancement in many other areas, the applications and use cases of GNSS/GPS have increased. For example, SLA uses GNSS/GPS to ensure the land parcel is marked precisely as land in Singapore's strategic resources.
Using GNSS/GPS as a tracking mechanism to replace our ERP1 used to face many challenges. This is largely due to our build-up environment, which affects the signals. I'm not sure what technology is available to remove the location ambiguity, but I think LTA must have a way to do it before launching ERP2.0.
Having said that, it is the 3-pieces implementation that creates the hoo-ha in Singapore. This implementation lacks DI and end-to-end system thinking, similar to the Ez-Link card implementation. Genuinely, I hope LTA can pay more attention to such things instead of being "eaten" by malicious contractors taking advantage of our civil service officers who face time constraints, pressure, lack of experience, or whatever reasons.

Gnss operates with other road sensors on the ground, not only solely based on satellite.
6/5/24, 2:12 pm - +Boon Phing: I guessed so.
6/5/24, 2:12 pm - ☸️ Danny 心: <Media omitted>
6/5/24, 2:13 pm - +Boon Phing: I just wonder how did China does it while US has failed?
6/5/24, 2:18 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
US don't spend money on road infrastructure.
Many public infrastructure crumble.
Singapore and China are more holistic in investing in our infrastructure that will support cutting edge investment, business, make us globally competitive and create new high value added jobs.
It is not about solving our road usage problem, there are many economy perspectives, technologies perspective, and pilot testing to move our business to import our know-how overseas to create more premium jobs for Singaporeans.
Hence Singaporeans must not be myopic - to see small small things.
Our government has a very broad mindset that not only solve individual problems, but also national problem with mind on global world to bring in wealth.
6/5/24, 2:19 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Our cabinet ministers and top civil services all think like that.
Hence as public, we shouldn't pass judgement too quickly without mindset with global perspective.
6/5/24, 2:22 pm - ☸️ Danny 心: <Media omitted>
6/5/24, 2:24 pm - +Boon Phing: Will need Govt to educate us. Keeping their thinking to themselves, nobody will know and understand.
But again, why share when the first mover take all
6/5/24, 2:24 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
See what China are doing for their road infrastructure - involving all high tech IT companies to upgrade their road infrastructure to support autonomous AI cars.
Just like Singapore ERP 2.0 and our pilot testing with driverless autonomous cars with road sensors and 5G with cloud system.
US just let Tesla autonomous cars run on the road - without the corresponding IT road infrastructure to support and many cars crashes.
It is like putting the cart before the horse. <This message was edited>
6/5/24, 2:26 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
That's why I need to do all the explanation now.
Else public will just mindlessly hammer our government where a big game plan is design ahead to lift Singaporeans up into the next higher level.
6/5/24, 2:28 pm - +Boon Phing: I think people will see it when the data shows itself.
Eg 85000 jobs created and a few thousands go to SG, and what is the number for under employment especially the young and middle age?
6/5/24, 2:29 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Young and middle age need to do continuous learning and upgrading.
Unfortunately, this is a painful thing that everyone has to go through.
6/5/24, 2:32 pm - +Boon Phing: Something is wrong. Our University ranked among the top. Our education system ranked among the best. But people that walk thru these systems could not fight for a job created in Singapore.
Either the job is so complicated and complex that need some foreigners who grad from some universities ranked much lower than Singapore’s or our education systems really screwed up.
6/5/24, 2:33 pm - +Boon Phing: Especially the young. Fresh from Uni. Should have equipped with the latest knowledge and skills
6/5/24, 2:33 pm - +Boon Phing: Talking about experience and local operating experience, the middle age should have better knowledge.
6/5/24, 2:34 pm - +Boon Phing: Look again at the amount of skill futures claims.
6/5/24, 2:34 pm - +Boon Phing: Piece them up, for a system view. Where goes wrong?
6/5/24, 2:34 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Many engineers that plan the ERP 2.0 are local graduates.
Fresh graduates from our local universities are also doing all these.
Incidentally, our current health minister Ong Ye Kung - is a vital civil service officer involves in planning the ERP 2.0 if I am not wrong. <This message was edited>
6/5/24, 2:36 pm - +Boon Phing: He was also the one for ERP1.0
6/5/24, 2:36 pm - +Boon Phing: I could have gone off the topics. But that is the ground sentiment. How best to tackle them?
6/5/24, 2:37 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
In fact, the consortium that bid for the ERP 2.0 are local consortium.
NCS and ST Engineering are the strongest bidders.
In fact, ST Engineering has almost all the expertise to implement and run the ERP 2.0.
ST Engineering mainly employ local graduates.
6/5/24, 2:38 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
At that time, ERP 2.0 technologies and autonomous systems AI are not available yet.
ERP 1.0 is the cutting edge technologies at that time.
Singapore among the 1st to deploy.
ERP 2.0 also was coined 20 years ago.
So Singapore is among the 1st to look into highly sophisticated technologies - only recently our government then start to deploy - because chips worldwide shortage lead to delay. <This message was edited>

6/5/24, 3:03 pm - +SL: It's very hard to say as it depends on how big the AAC is, the number of seniors registered and came to the centre, and how close the staff is with seniors (regular friendship). Some staff might not be like by seniors.

Coming back to today's topic :-
1. Notice that elderly couples who are still healthy, can walk very well, active minds, with sufficient retirement savings and cash - will ususally plan and go out by themselves - in various outdoor activities they are comfortable with.
Eg. are active in window shopping in the various shopping malls, laypark to enjoy foodcourt food, f&b, restaurants, go hiking, visit recreational sites, take part in community activities etc.
So these healthy active elderly couples - have no problem taking care of their active ageing.
2. However, when elderly couples start to grow older, when mobility is a problem, where more illness sets in - then they will require volunteers to have accessed to them.
3. Especially that our ageing population will be growing, birth rates drop for young population to take care of the aged --- then community efforts will become necessary.
4. Personally I feel that this Active Ageing workplan initiatives coin by the Government is a good initiative.
Active ageing centres (AACs) are presumably setup by the Government - and working in tandem with community care groups will be a good symbiotic outreach to the elderlies - that maybe immobilised or don't know how to seek help.
I think the devil is in the details - how to reach out to those elderlies that need help - especially if the elderly are alone.
5. Elderly nursing homes - for immobilised elderlies, for elderly that is alone, or for elderlies that have chronic illness that need regular care --- are best to stay in elderly nursing homes - under the professional centralised care --- I feel.
Else, we could be spreading our elderly outreach personnel too thin.
6. In which case, elderly nursing homes need to be affordable, whereby lower income elderlies can afford - through government subsidies.
I felt that government subsidies for nursing homes will be lesser - compare to money spend on spreading our scare resources in reaching out to elderlies that stay at home - and many that needs help could be missed.

6/5/24, 3:41 pm - +Nic Freehold: It’s funny Blk 80 telok blangah w 2 blocks of elderly studio only start setting up elderly Center when whole estate is quite old and the new blocks is quite away from the majority of the elderly households
Yet it’s a bright spot and good news compared w old estates like kaki Bukit, Jalan Besar Cambridge bedok
6/5/24, 3:42 pm - +Nic Freehold: So I wonder what’s the criteria to fund 1
6/5/24, 3:49 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
5G network with road sensors and gnss satellite are communication systems that are always on - to provide continuous data feed and car information on the road to the autonomous driverless cars.
RFID need to come close to gantry before it gets information.
So if no gantry to support RFID, autonomous driverless cars crash into one another?
That's what happens to tesla autonomous pilotless system - crash into one another. <This message was edited>
6/5/24, 3:54 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
PSA driverless autonomous trucks work seamlessly through its cloud in the command and control systems in a data centre - centrally controlled.
Hence no need truck drivers to man the truck loaded with containers.
They work in the data control centre.
And no crashes, everything work like a clock.

1. Then elderly single who live in elderly nursing home can rent out their vacant flats to earn income and at the same time pay for the services in the nursing home.
6/5/24, 5:12 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
And incidentally, for those who are fearful of aging and death.
Quantum scientists have tested teleportation do exist. Currently at the lowest level of atoms and protons.
That's possible that beings can exist in superposition states in various realms and Universes at the same time - ie. Birth, Living, Old Age and Death at various realms or Universe of Existence.

6/5/24, 5:47 pm - +Andy: Currently there is a healthy 365 which keeps track of the steps, mvpa and sleeping hours for those who signed up. Not sure how many are seniors in this pool. In 365 there are a lot of different exercises groups in different areas for us to take part. Like my wife, she attends Zumba every Tue and Thurs at Tai Seng. Wed low impact aerobic will be at balam road.
6/5/24, 5:54 pm - +Andy: Maybe community centres can have more activities like cooking and sharing sessions, line dance, English and Chinese chess club, Scrabble club, handyman club, running club, weekly walking cum makan trip to different hawker centres, karaoke etc provided there are enough rooms for such activities. The government can fund the community centres.

6/5/24, 6:01 pm - +Sunshine Pooh: These r currently used by more IT savvy n younger groups. If the Cc extend their spaces for the healthy 365 exercise classes I believe more seniors wld join
6/5/24, 6:01 pm - +Sunshine Pooh: Cc need to play a more active role.
6/5/24, 6:02 pm - +Sunshine Pooh: However it is also noted that CC now lease out their premises yo enrichment classes or other business for rental uield which will then limit 'freely' avail rooms for such 365 activities
6/5/24, 6:10 pm - +Nic Freehold: it’s important for elderly to share their stories and how their habits cause friction w family
6/5/24, 6:11 pm - +Nic Freehold: Like waking up at 4:30am and cooking creates a lot of noise

"Where Are The Real Goodies (not the goodies bag)?"
"Fear interferes! And Fun sells the best!
Communicate: If the main focus is to build trust and confidence then communication is very important to bear in mind from location & date & time (weather), physical contact & interactions, spoken messages & conversations, printed materials and the overall experience of any in-person event will be subjected to participants evaluation. Small bites always win!
Attractions: It must be attractive for any event to be successful and one measure is the rates of attendance and the following events. How to create attractions? You must create and differentiate between recreation and leisure and balanced it with the original mission. Fun sells the best!
Thereafter, the magic of word of mouth will do the rest of the job; either good WOM (bokeh) or Bad WOM (tak boleh) or so-so (hentak kaki) !"
-- anonymity
Smart (pandai) ?
If health is wealth then the goodies have to be linked to dollars and cents. And how should our heath policies attract our ageing population and be effective and efficient in reaching to 50% of the population? If we trust the way good WOM will do the job of communicating the goodies in our heath policies and community outreach then we should target half of our audience and strategise at the grass roots on higher frequency and intensity targetting clusters of HDB blocks of 10. You divide and you conquer to achieve more predicable outcomes with positive results and importantly, it's another chance to build trust and confidence building with our people.
Communication is one big topic of relevance and importance. How can we structure the purposes of preventive health care and correspond with healthier lifestyle choices for each age groups?
Fun (shiok) and not Fear ?
You need to attract and by attraction we are pulling all resources including our beneficiaries which is our communities and sponsors that are directly responsible for the health ecosystem of our integration and intervention strategies. Not limited to pharmaceutical but include F&B, Hawkers, GLC, Agencies, Ministries, NPO and corporations both local and MNE, collaborating new community service projects running in sync with our " Belanja" initiative. Fear interferes! And Fun sells the best!
Afterwords:
AI & The Future of Headcounts Dilemma?
"50% foreign 50% local ? 20% foreign 80% local?
Cluster of Jobs:
Hands-on jobs?
Technical jobs?
Supporting jobs?
Management jobs?
-- anonymity
Co pilots or Co workers will be GAI !
What's the projection for future headcounts based clusters of jobs and emerging technologies correlation with widening services and operations constraints?
How to redesign jobs and scopes?
What are the primary duties & responsibilities of primary medical care, including faculties and doctors? The overall costs of each interventions from staffing to equipments and investments into digitisation and the redesigned processes! That's one colosaly important for us to delve and to plan ahead of almost all possible emerging scenarios both humanistic and AI.
Let's think like AMAZON systems of delivery!
Redesigning jobs and scopes?
Identified and target and transform into many small GAI. That's the smartest choice out of any transformational efforts and less of potential missed steps and zooming in on mistakes and correct it or easier to rectify it.
Filling the Space?
Workplace is between job and scope! The in-between is a big space (vacuum) to fullfill all requirements and expectations; both internal and external!
Small GAI architectures (SGAI):
Compartmentalization and Data Security and Data Access.
Each Ministry will have own proprietary GAI that filters down to departments in SGAI models. During intra Ministry meetings or interdepartmental meetings, data will be pulled out for discussions. In the larger context of inter Ministries meetings and discussions or at Ministerial meetings or Cabinet settings, all of these SGAI data models will be deployed instantly colate for analytics purposes and decisions making process.
During a transformation process (stages), the measurement of success or mistake should not be taken as KPI. However, it should rely on a push and pull mindset in achieving the longer term of breakthroughs into a Super optimised model of an open operational efficiency model. That's the Beginning of success!
