"Learning Organization has a slew of
60 tools that when used together creates
the capacity you need to produce
results. The more one is disciplined
(which is why Peter Senge calls it the
five disciplines) for each of the five to be
a part of us, the easier it becomes to
produce results that matter to us and the
whole."

I am originally from Singapore with backgrounds in science and management. I have been part of public and private sector
organizations for about 25 years.
I first chanced Senge's works in 1996 when I attended a five-day workshop led by Daniel Kim and Diane Cory. This led to me
eventually attending their year-long post-graduate programme in 2000 at the Singapore Civil Service College.
Since then my repertoire has grown to include (1996-till now):
It is these and other experiences that have humbled me on the use and worth of these tools.
My hope is to uncover systemic structures that influence the experiences of our reality and then pass on the skills to teams so
they can use it to create realties that matter to them. I'd love to take this work all the way to the United Nations.

Since then my repertoire has grown to include (1996-till now):
 | 1996-2008: Extend support of this work within the Singapore Police Force (as a government officer acting as | |
| an internal consultant) | ||
| 2001: Designed and developed four-level modular core-competency workshops and manuals | |
| 2002: Set up a local network (Learning Organizations' Practitioners' Network (LOPN www.lopn.net)) for | |
| practitioners of this work in Singapore to share one's practices with each other | ||
| 2002-05: Extend support of the network to public and private sector organisations in Singapore such as | |
| the Supreme Court, Singapore Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, MENDAKI, schools in Singapore, Changi Women’s Prison, National Community Leadership Institute, Defence Management Group, UNIFEM and Singapore Powers. | ||
| 2005-now: The experience expands to include the region and other parts of the world such as India, | |
| Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In Spring 2005, I was in Hong Kong sharing the work with practitioners spanning the education, commercial and NGO sectors. | ||
| In the fall 2005, began working with the government of Botswana including Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and | |
| MPs in prioritizing their core set of strategies. In Nov 2006, I presented my learnings and findings at the STIA Conference. | ||
| Continue to deepen the work by staying connected with the work and developments of Peter Senge, Chris | |
| Argyris and Sandra Seagal. | ||
| 2007-now: Supporting the government of Botswana in the application of the tools across the public sector at | |
| federal and district levels. The programme is used to assist the public sector in dealing with their persistent issues that continue to consume national resources (e.g. spread of HIV, need for destitution programmes, food security, spread of livestock diseases, inability to stem the rises of motor vehicle accidents and crimes, labout unemployment, etc.) |
It is these and other experiences that have humbled me on the use and worth of these tools.
My hope is to uncover systemic structures that influence the experiences of our reality and then pass on the skills to teams so

My Aspiration
The intention I hold is working with people
to build capacities in the understanding
and use of the five disciplines of Peter
Senge’s work as of the Art and Practice of
Learning Organization in leadership
teams particularly within the government
system.
On acquiring the skills and sensibilities,
taking today into anytime in the future
would leave them feeling not as they are
today seeing pseudo-harmony and
uninspired workspaces. Instead they
become the great team of tomorrow
producing the results they really cared to
create for themselves and the country.
Any uninspired thoughts by officers and
the citizens become a thing of the past.
