Why is it important to have a
Public Service Change Movement?

 

 

 

Changing external environment

 

We face a constantly changing global landscape and need to tackle issues such as increased economic competition, geopolitical shifts and demographic changes. PS21 helps the Public Service to understand that changes is constantly occurring in the environment we operate in and to anticipate the changes that will take place.

 

Dynamic, progressive
& nimble Public Service

 

PS21 encourages a Public Service that is responsive, flexible and innovative. This helps to maintain Singapore’s competitive advantage and contributes directly to the success of Singapore.

 

Empowered & engaged public officers

 

PS21 encourages a mindset that welcomes experimentation and a desire to continually find new and better ways of doing things. PS21 gives every public officer the mandate and platform to contribute their ideas for a successful Public Service. This recognises people as the critical resource of the Public Service and contributes towards job engagement and satisfaction.
