Project Title

Transformation and Innovation in A.STAR Policies and Processes for an Agile Organisation

Project Description

Transformation, innovation and digitalisation of policies and processes are key to enabling an agile, efficient and progressive organisation.

This project aims to improve a selected area in corporate policy/process within A.STAR to achieve higher operational efficiency and/or greater internal client satisfaction.

The intern will craft and execute a systematic plan to discover the problem statement, identify pain-points of internal stakeholders and opportunities for improvement, and distil insights and recommendations for policy/process owners. Possible approaches include desktop analysis, process mapping, stakeholder/user engagement approaches, e.g. user interviews and focus group discussions.

The intern will also organise and support logistics and administrative tasks as required for stakeholder engagement activities.

By the end of the internship, the intern will consolidate findings into a structured proposal outlining key insights, improvement opportunities, and recommended policy/process enhancements for A.STARs consideration. The intern will present this proposal at A.STAR meeting platforms.
