It reinforces what the portfolio has been trying to do. Perhaps we have to be more deliberate in delivering and re-strategising our work to align with the trends. For example, mastering workflow automation and data analytics and visualisation is the baseline. To further enable us to be more efficient, our team needs to understand, learn and apply emerging skills like Gen-AI.

Besides aggregating data on an annual basis, it is important for the team to know what data are collected within RP and how can we synthesize the various data points to derive meaningful and actionable insights for the schools.

While schools take care of their school-specific IIP quality, OIC plays a crucial role in analysing them across the schools and over a longer period of time. The team should include other data sources to yield a holistic and deep-dive analysis.

We can leverage on Gen AI to help us be more efficient in our analysis of unstructured data.
