As part of a workshop on empowering public servants in the digital era, Mr. Wu Wei Neng, Chief Executive Officer of CIG and Chairman of the Chandler Academy of Governance, discussed ways to build government excellence in a digital age, and the role of leaders in building a high performance government. Drawing on good practices from Singapore and around the world, Mr. Wu highlighted three critical dimensions of high performing governments: context, capabilities, and culture. He explained how developing a strong leadership development system – through people management, nurturing shared values, early talent identification and pipeline development, and building shared norms – is key to building a sustaining high performance government. Mr. Wu also highlighted the importance of building robust institutions, systems, and processes during a separate panel discussion on developing resilient leadership teams within public sector organisations.
