“The SF Programme will be an intensive, immersive, transformative and rewarding learning experience. Participants will acquire insights into pressing global issues and rapid technological change, and the changes taking place around us and before us. They will sharpen their critical thinking and leadership skills to better deal with a world full of unknowns; from developing practical and innovative solutions that will make immense contributions to transforming their organisations and countries.

Through the programme, cruicial exhanges in intellectual discourse and expertise sharing will also help them to form enduring and valuable networks and understandings with other leaders in Asia.”

PROF TAN YONG SOON PROFESSOR IN PRACTICE AND SF PROGRAMME DIRECTOR, LKYSPP FORMER PERMANENT SECRETARY, SINGAPORE

“Leaders know that to be successful they need to continually update their skills and knowledge to make confident decisions. Learning and developing conviction is even more critical in the VUCA world that we live in. The SF Programme is the most prestigious programme at LKYSPP, taught by top-notch faculty and experienced practitioners from the public and private sectors. The best leaders in the world, however, learn not just from teachers, but from peers. Join the network of future leaders of countries and organisations in this new programme.”

PROF LIM SIONG GUAN PROFESSOR IN PRACTICE, LKYSPP FORMER HEAD OF CIVIL SERVICE, SINGAPORE

WHAT CAN STUDENTS GAIN FROM THE SF PROGRAMME? As a LKY Senior Fellow, you will develop visionary leadership qualities that empower you to inspire change within your organisation. Get the opportunity to learn from leading scholars and experienced practitioners and discuss current policy making and governance challenges confronting Asia and the World today with similar high potential peers. Students of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) and National University of Singapore (NUS) will also gain access to our expertise, resources and guiding principles that aided Singapore in the development of its public policies.

“Disruption in our external environment have always raised challenges for public policy. But the changes now are unprecedentedly profound, broad-based, and rapid – whether in technology disruption, domestic political discontent, or the international environment for trade and cooperation.

Nations everywhere face a deep loss of trust in traditional policy structures. This new global environment has raised demand, more than ever, for disciplined evidence-based public policy. The SF Programme at the LKYSPP provides its Senior Fellows directly useful practitioner insights, network-sharing collaborations, and evidence-based disciplinary thinking on the great public policy challenges of our time.”

PROF DANNY QUAH DEAN AND LI KA SHING PROFESSOR IN ECONOMICS, LKYSPP

“Rapid technological change can positively affect many aspects of societies and economies.

Both the pace of change and the fusion of technologies are potentially disruptive and can be powerful transition drivers to good societal outcomes when accompanied by appropriate public policy. Using Singapore as an example, participants will gain an early awareness of the key technologies for the next decade and learn how they could be harnessed to contribute to industry and society.”

CURRICULUM The programme comprises the following components:

4 Leadership

Globalisation

National Governance

Develop visionary and effective leadership that empowers you to transform your organisation.

Learn to identify and develop talents, inspire morale, develop capabilities, and improve synergy in a Whole of Government/ Whole of Nation strategy.

Pragmatic real-world strategies will equip you for the future to lead and manage change.

International Economics

What is a “good” public policy?

Discover the best way to evaluate public policies and how to adapt exemplary ones to your own situations. Through situation-based challenges, we will guide you on applying governance principles to select issues in economic and social policies.

Globalisation was a tough challenge for emerging economies in the past. But today, despite the benefits that globalisation has brought, the challenges have also evolved. The international economics component of this module focuses on the subject of managing globalisation, with discussions on economic forces and geopolitics, as well as how to assess and manage global and regional economic integration.

International Security Develop a clear understanding of shifting geopolitical trends at global and regional levels, and how they have an impact on international security.

This module includes lectures by experienced practitioners and visits to Singapore Statutory Boards to experience governance in practice.

DEEP DIVE SESSIONS Mental Capital & Mindfulness Mental capital is the wellspring of all successful enterprises. In this module, we explore a broad spectrum of topics on mental health, from national level concerns such as epidemiology and economic burden of mental illness and the provisional measures that can be adopted to counter them, to the management of mental health at a personal and social level.

Startup Culture Startups have been disrupting industries and attracting huge amounts of venture investment. In response, countries are racing to develop their own startup eco-systems in hopes of nurturing the next generation of ‘unicorns’.

This session examines the trends and development of tech-based startup companies and venture capital in recent years. We discuss the elements that make up a startup eco-system and the role that the government can play in nurturing it. We also discuss how corporations (and public agencies) can emulate the swiftness and culture of startups.

Technology & Innovation The accelerated pace of development and the emergence of disruptive technologies pose both the opportunity for societal development as well as the risk of disrupting the society at every level.

To grasp the volatile landscape, public policy makers and corporate leaders will need keen awareness of developments in technology and an appreciation of how this can contribute to the development of policies and regulations.

5

Law and its Impact on Public Administration Legal rules underscore every aspect of public administration, especially in relation to the exercise of statutory powers. This deep dive session will provide a basic understanding of the principles that apply in a society based on the Rule of Law and the manner statutory powers are conferred, exercised and enforced in a democracy. Additionally, it will examine the impact of international law, particularly treaties, in domestic governance.

Government in Business The public-private divide is an evergreen debate. What is the role of the government in the economy, or in business in general?

In good times, the government is often portrayed as too interfering, restraining growth with too many outdated rules, in fact not businessfriendly at all. Conversely, in bad times, such as now, right in the thick of the covid pandemic, one sees a complete reversal of arguments. The very same government is too far removed from business and not doing enough to address rising unemployment and inequality, or not pump- priming enough to resuscitate the economy. And the list goes on. Are these views justified? In discussing these themes, real-life examples would be extensively used to illustrate the complexity of challenges.

Climate Change Climate change actions present complex and challenging questions for policy makers. This session on climate change features prominent speakers from government, corporate and academia. The topics of discussion will focus on various aspects of climate change such as climate science, international agreements, emissions reduction efforts and green growth.

Covid-19 Briefings and discussions with senior MOH officials and NUS Professors from the Medical School and School of Public Health.

Mr Ding Mingqin, Deputy Director-General Ministry of Science and Technology General Office, China “I was expecting to learn mainly from the Professors and the materials or readings required in class. While this expectation was indeed met (overwhemingly in many instances!), there was an added bonus of learning so much from the rest of the Senior Fellows. The viewpoints and opinions shared in class are truly invaluable and could not have been possible without the generosity and openness from everyone involved.”

Ms Monalisa Carneo Dimalanta, Chairperson, National Renewable Energy Board, Philippines

The topics were relevant and information shared were insightful, and the discussion within the Study Group for the respective group presentation allowed a close and conducive opportunity to know each member better.
