SUMMARY:Workshop on Sustainable Ecotourism
DESCRIPTION:Tourism provides abundant opportunities for employment\, investment\, infrastructure\, and cultural exchanges. Before the COVID-19 pandemic\, tourism accounted for 7% of global trade and more than USD1.4 trillion of expenditure that created jobs and momentum for socioeconomic development. However\, tourism often comes at the cost of environmental pollution\, commercialization of local cultural activities\, biased and insecure work opportunities\, and imbalanced development focuses\, undermining the sustainability of the host communities. \nSustainable tourism is therefore an essential strategy and goal for countries and communities aspiring to benefit from their natural and cultural assets. The World Tourism Organization defines it as “tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic\, social\, and environmental impacts\, addressing the needs of visitors\, the industry\, the environment\, and host communities.” A survey from the Expedia group in 2022 also indicated a strong market demand for environment-friendly tourism\, as 90% of consumers from major markets looked for sustainable options when traveling. \nThis workshop will discuss the trends in and strategies for developing sustainable tourism. It is in line with the APO Vision 2025 and its commitments to expanding the applications of Green Productivity and promoting inclusive rural development among APO members. \nFor more details please click on PN. \nPlease click here to watch.

SUMMARY:Training Course on Productivity Gainsharing in Agribusiness Enterprises
DESCRIPTION:Gainsharing is an organization-wide performance-based pay system whereby both workers and management receive increased benefits as a result of improved productivity. This practice is common in the manufacturing sector. However\, its application in the agriculture and agribusiness sectors of APO members still needs encouragement. Other than cooperative gainsharing models in the Republic of China\, Japan\, and the Republic of Korea\, the gainsharing approach is not widely practiced in the agribusiness sector in other APO members. \nGainsharing has the potential to contribute to agricultural productivity as farmers are empowered\, actors in supply chains are motivated\, staff involved in agriculture develop an increased feeling of ownership\, and companies receive greater profits due to higher productivity and enhanced efficiency throughout supply chains. Successful gainsharing plans result in quality and productivity improvements of employees. In the Philippines\, for example\, the Wage Rationalization Act promotes the gainsharing concept and practices to increase productivity. Gainsharing also has the potential to encourage youth to become involved in the sector and support small-scale growers. \nThis training course will provide knowledge on the application of gainsharing tools and share best practices to make agribusiness enterprises more productive and profitable. \n\nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Development of APO-certified Productivity Specialists
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, the APO introduced the Accreditation Program to enable National Productivity Organizations (NPOs) to be certification bodies (CBs) on productivity specialist-related schemes. In 2021\, the NPOs of Malaysia and Vietnam successfully completed their preparations and became the first batch of APO-accredited CBs. The NPOs of India\, I.R. Iran\, Mongolia\, Pakistan\, and the Turkish Management Sciences Institute of Turkiye (TUSSIDE)\, a partner of the NPO of Turkiye\, are expected to be accredited in 2023. \nThe transformation of NPOs as CBs is expected to accelerate the development of competent productivity specialists across APO members. A pool of productivity specialists is critically needed by the region since many organizations continue to struggle to enhance productivity under a transformative\, fast-changing era of digitization. The emergence of new\, pandemic-prompted business models such as remote work or hybrid styles of work compounded the productivity pursuit challenges of firms and organizations. These changes affect the roles of productivity specialists and the methods to provide services to client organizations. \nThis course will introduce the latest techniques to improve efficiency and raise productivity. It will enhance the skills of participants in providing training and consultancy in productivity tools and techniques and is a prerequisite for participants to qualify for certification. After completing this course\, participants will be guided to complete all the certification requirements and submit their applications to any of the APO-accredited CBs in member countries. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Training Course on Digitalization of SMEs in the Manufacturing Sector
DESCRIPTION:The APO Productivity Outlook 2022 reported that the spread of COVID-19 had affected the productivity of the manufacturing sector in most APO members. For example\, manufacturing productivity in Japan fell by 14.2% in the second quarter of 2020 from the previous year\, while the ROK experienced a 4.2% drop in the second quarter of the same year. The report also noted that sales and employment had fallen among firms in India\, Indonesia\, the Philippines\, and Vietnam. Overall\, the pandemic has had negative impacts on manufacturing in the Asia-Pacific. \nTransforming business operations by leveraging digital technologies has become indispensable for companies to survive the pandemic. Strict measures imposed by governments such as movement control orders and mandatory quarantines forced many companies to turn to digitization. However\, according to a study by the ASEAN Innovation Business Platform (AIBP) and Oracle in 2021\, almost half of manufacturing companies in ASEAN region fell behind the industry average in adopting digital technologies. \nConsidering that the manufacturing sector contributes more than 20% of GDP in most countries in this region\, accelerating digital adoption will be necessary for postpandemic economic recovery. This course will guide participants in the necessary steps and approaches for small companies to start their digitalization journeys. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Energy Efficiency and Management through Energy Analytics
DESCRIPTION:According to the World Meteorological Organization\, the average global temperature in 2021 was about 1.11°C above the preindustrial (1850–1900) levels and it was the 7th consecutive year when the global temperature was higher than 1°C above preindustrial levels. Climate change is now obvious and calls for urgent action. The transition to cleaner energy sources and adopting energy-efficient practices and technologies are pathways to achieve net-zero carbon emissions and cleaner industrialization. \nThe IEA reported that energy efficiency can contribute to a cumulative reduction of 13 gigatons of carbon emissions over the next decade. This reduction potential is surpassed only by renewables\, indicating a huge gap to be filled through efficient operating practices and adopting cleaner technologies. Improving the operational efficiency of equipment allows enterprises to enhance productivity\, profitability\, and competitiveness with less environmental impact. Recent technological advances have contributed to increasing the design efficiency of plant machinery\, but operational efficiency requires continuous measurement and analysis of key performance parameters. With huge amounts of data to be measured\, logged\, stored\, and analyzed\, smart metering solutions and various energy management software guides enterprises in taking data-driven decisions to achieve energy savings\, conduct cost–benefit analysis of energy conservation options\, and remotely gain insights into\nbusiness operations at a micro level. \nEnergy efficiency is a prominent tool of the Green Productivity concept developed by the APO which guides enterprises to be productive with minimal environmental impact of their operations. This workshop will enrich the knowledge base of participants on energy efficiency and management and explain applications of smart IoT-based digital tools for data measurement and storage. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Multicountry Observational Study Mission on Digital Farming for Small-scale Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies such as mobile technologies and remote-sensing services are spreading in the agriculture and food sector (FAO\, 2022). Compared with large-scale farmers\, small-scale ones have more difficulty in introducing such technologies due to their costs. In order to avoid unnecessary investment\, small-scale farmers need to have clear objectives when adopting digital technologies and consider the balance between their costs and benefits. \nAgriculture faces various challenges. This includes global warming\, which decreases harvests and reduces crop quality. Consumers’ preference for fresher\, appearing produce poses another challenge as it leads to increased use of pesticides. Recently\, the pandemic and restrictions on human contact and movements have been added to the challenges. Digital technologies provide advantages such as labor saving\, higher-quality harvests\, and more efficient farm management. \nAutomated irrigation systems enable remote control of water levels in paddy fields via smart phones\, thus saving time on monitoring and adjusting water intake. Precise data collection on the crop growth environment by remote sensors contributes to analysis of the best environmental conditions for crop growth\, producing better-quality harvests with minimum pesticides. Farm management apps record data related to daily farm work\, and some agricultural vehicles can automatically transmit location data to such apps. The data can be stored in cloud systems and used to make effective farm management plans. \nParticipants will have opportunities to learn about various successful models of digital technologies used on small-scale farms in the ROC and other members. This will enhance understanding of the importance of installing digital technologies for small-scale farmers and selecting the most appropriate ones for optimal farm management. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Conference on Public-sector Productivity: Creating an Agile and Productive Public Sector in the New Era of Governance
DESCRIPTION:Governments around the world remain in crisis management mode as they respond to the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 and prepare for the transition to a postpandemic world. The effects of the pandemic include slowdowns in economic growth\, loss of productive capacity\, widespread unemployment\, sharp contractions in international trade\, slowing flows of external development resources\, and an almost complete halt in travel and tourism\, especially in the Asia-Pacific region (UNESCAP\, 2021\, COVID-19 Pandemic and the Asia-Pacific LDCs). \nThe concept of “doing more with less” is familiar to the public sector\, but COVID-19 has pushed this notion to a new extreme. With reduced tax revenues\, emergency spending\, the need to cut costs\, and increasingly higher demand for services\, public-sector entities must think fundamentally differently about how services are delivered and how to ensure that public-sector financing is resilient going forward. Postpandemic priorities that open pathways to sustainable recovery and policy directions that address systemic issues such as climate change\, poverty\, inequality\, etc. must be identified and evaluated. \nThis conference will examine advances in technologies and innovations to enhance public service delivery and the productivity of the public sector post-COVID-19 while addressing pressures to deliver more and better-quality services amid many new and continuing challenges. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Service Quality and Productivity Gainsharing
DESCRIPTION:Productivity gainsharing is one powerful way to encourage more productive and more efficient work of employees\, while enhancing service quality. It is a win–win approach to organizational productivity\, particularly for service providers.\nGainsharing is regarded as an effective management system that enables higher levels of productivity and quality through the participation of workers. Productivity gainsharing plans compare the changes in productivity performance during a given period against a baseline level. When the productivity level exceeds the baseline\, a percentage of profits is shared proportionately with employees who contributed to improvements. Gainsharing therefore motivates staff performance and enhances organizational service quality across sectors. \nGainsharing also promotes teamwork as managers communicate goals and involve staff in planning processes and implementing activities. Human capital potential is maximized\, and high achievers are\nretained. Designing a gainsharing incentive system is essential for organizations aiming to achieve new business goals\, service innovation\, and quality improvement.\nThis workshop will explain the gainsharing concept and frameworks to enhance service quality for customers and provide rewards to employees for improved productivity. It will examine case studies of productivity gainsharing applications in organizations to enhance the quality of their service. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Innovations in the Olive Oil Sector
DESCRIPTION:The olive oil industry has experienced growth recently in the Hatay\, Kahramanmaras\, and Osmaniye provinces of Turkiye. Olive oil produced in those provinces is sought after for its flavor and aroma in both domestic and foreign markets. Olive oil production in those provinces was 137\,888 tons in 2021\, comprising 12% of total production in Turkiye. \nInnovation leads to the expansion and improvement of techniques and technologies for production and distribution. Digital innovation could support the entire supply chain as well. Advanced technologies in the olive oil sector play a crucial role in building reliable\, safe\, sustainable FVCs. For example\, digital technologies such as the cloud\, IoT\, big data\, and AI can help in developing efficient\, effective FVCs. Applications of blockchain technology to FVCs may help develop fool-proof\, reliable food traceability systems. The Eastern Mediterranean Development Agency (DOGAKA) has provided financial support to olive oil firms for modern machinery investments for years. \nConsidering the importance of improving the services of olive oil producers to respond to the marketplace by linking production\, processing\, transportation\, storage\, and marketing activities to consumer demand\, DOGAKA and the APO are therefore organizing this workshop to bring all partners together to discuss innovations in olive oil production\, standardization\, branding\, technological development\, and marketing trends. \nFor more details please click on PIP.
