Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced each government agency to set up a Value Innovation Centre (VIC) to expedite the process of generating new ideas that can be forwarded to the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) level. He was amazed by the success of Samsung Electronics as the electronics giant founded in South Korea was always coming up with new ideas and innovative products through VICs set up at each of its branches. Samsung had now become an iconic South Korean brand and conquered the world by dominating a huge segment of the electronics goods sector like smartphones, high definition television sets, washing machines and electronic boards like the ones used at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
VIC And CINO In Public Sector Malaysia
Value Innovation Centre (VIC) can be the template for the government and in line with the NBOS concept, the VIC can be deemed as breakthrough innovation which will spread wide and fast. To complete the idea of setting up VICs, the function and role of the existing Innovation Units must be strengthened by creating the Chief Innovation Officer (CINO) post in each ministry or department. Chief Innovation Officer will play a key role in mobilising the innovation agenda of the public sector in a more structured and planned way.
Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) would lead the data-driven initiative with the cooperation of all ministries and departments. The Open Data Institute (ODI) and Nesta Innovation Foundation in United Kingdom reported that the open data initiative had helped strengthen the economy and impacted the social cluster.
Malaysia must promote more data-driven innovations to improve the people-centered service delivery system. Civil servants to be more creative and innovative in coming up with solutions based on technology which are game changers to boost the country's development in facing the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Data was an invaluable asset to come up with products based on creativity and innovation. The data product can not only generate the country's economic growth but also be a catalyst in creating value for people's prosperity, he said.
