Welcome to the Innovation Symposium 2019 (IS19)!
This year, IS19 is themed "Solving Problems; Innovating Together", a simple reminder that being better starts with solving problems, innovating together and making it meaningful.
Journey through four "How Might We" zones at the event site or here online – How Might We Work and Collaborate Better, How Might We Learn and Train Better, How Might We Leverage Data and How Might We Innovate Better. The journey does not end there, you will be transported into a realm of innovation stories and enabling resources. Kick-start your imagination by asking yourself "How Might I?"
Let us celebrate, explore and learn from fellow servicemen, servicewomen and industry luminaries on how we can be better at what we do.
Ready? Get inspired here.

How Might You… Skill-Up?
The PRoductivity and Innovation in Daily Efforts (PRIDE) Movement has played a key role in building a strong pioneering spirit of innovation for the past 38 years. To upkeep this, the next wave is to supercharge innovation efforts – enabling our people to unlock possibilities and empowering them to bring their ideas to life.
Co-create tomorrow’s reality with us today. Step forward to be part of the rebranding exercise by naming this movement, using our very own crowdsourcing tool PITCH. Submit your suggestions at https://pitch.defence.gov.sg/pitch/ now!
How Might You… Name Our Innovation Movement?
About the challenge
The Million Hours Challenge is one of the Public Sector Transformation (PST) initiatives that aims to achieve the collective goal of saving 3 million hours of transaction time for citizens and public officers.
