BANGKOK: -- PRIME Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday instructed agencies working on development plans for provincial clusters and provinces nationwide to integrate prominent innovation in their clusters so that plans for the next four years are in line with 20-year national strategies.

 

The instruction was given at a second national meeting to integrate provincial administration policies, chaired by the PM at Government House.

Agencies such as the Interior Ministry were told to adopt key innovations in their areas of responsibility and include them in their plans for the next four years, which will be the first period for the government’s 20-year strategies.

The Prayut government has been trying to change Thailand into a value-based society, and innovation is seen as its flagship policy to drive the country toward this goal.

No! and I suspect neither does he.

Reminds me of when we used to go to an IBM Seminar and come back to the office full of words we did not understand!

Had a girl friend in rural Thailand.  She thought it perfectly natural that all the money went to Bangkok while her area suffered with no jobs and no opportunities.  She said the only job that did not involve working in the hot sun was being a teacher.  She left school at a very very young age to support her family. She moved to Bangkok.   Innovation needs to come from places outside of Bangkok and Tokyo.  Innovation comes from opening up to knew ideas and competition, not xenophobia.

You can't order people to be creative. That's kind of the point.

He's saying:

"Put another coat of top gloss on it"

 

Thailand, hub of top gloss.

Instruction was given! Now get at it. No questions, just obey. Army tactics don't work in civilian government!

Seems like I have heard a similar speech from a prominent leader who wants to build the Silk Road. Ah yes the 20 year national strategies right off the PM's road map to success. All the best laid plans of  mice and men they sometimes go astray.

No, but you can encourage them with the right incentives
