Designing and Building Healthy Systems
Overview

The five day retreat is designed is to introduce participants to concepts, tools and frameworks for understanding and leading in complexity.
It is universally acknowledged that the world is increasingly fragmented, complex and uncertain. A messy world. Yet, amid this state of flux, many social scientists, engineers, academics, leading business executives and various professional leaders have developed deep knowledge and perspectives about how to understand and lead.
This retreat will use as a case study, how the Singapore Prison Service went about systematically to reduce its recidivism rates to one of the lowest in the world. In so doing, it made significant contributions to the betterment of society. This has lessons for all Prison Services where recidivism is a serious issue.
The programme will look at the importance of reviewing and finding ‘purpose’ and its relevance to the current context.
The need is the compelling reason for doing anything. Sensing the need is the first step to designing a meeting, organizational structure or change initiative that is relevant.
