Incorporating futures thinking into the public policy process can be one\u00a0way that governments try to design for resilience, not just efficiency. In this talk, Cheryl Chung will explore what futures thinking looks in\u00a0the public policy context, share some strengths and challenges from the Singapore case and explore the implications for Japan.<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">About the speaker<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">: <\/span>Cheryl Chung is the Programme Director of Executive Education Singapore Futures at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore.
