We held our very first GovTech Managers’ Community of Practice (CoP) session on ‘Learning Agility: How Leaders Help Their Teams To Upskill,Adapt & Grow’ last Friday! Very grateful for Wendy Tan Siew Inn Ph.D. who took time to share with us excerpts from her latest book based on her research on the topic. Many participants took away the ‘4 Ps’ to enable learning agility in teams: Purpose, Process, Playground and being Proactive. Amongst the people managers, we also had a fireside chat with 2 of our Culture Champions Victor Huang and Andre Ng who shared practical ways we could promote Learning Agility in the GovTech operating context. Victor Huang shared the importance of role modelling and ensuring leaders walk the talk and set aside time for their own learning. I also shared (or exposed rather) how extensive his book collection was and the surprising fact that as a tech leader, he has more OD books than many OD practitioners! Andre Ng who recently activated his learning agility and moved to a new role to help set up the new GovTech Anti-Scam Products team shared his own personal experience of how internal mobility value added to him and his team, and also his secret sauce, delivering ‘Sashimi feedback’ and being persistent in having developmental conversations with his team. Looking forward to more Managers’ CoP events where we can gather more managers to share and network and learn from each other! (Kudos as well to my colleagues Michelle Nee Natalie Chew and Ruida for helping behind the scenes!)
Thank you Jerald Chew for the fantastic opportunity to share and learn! 👍👏
