RAM Launches 2nd Version of Public Policy, Strategic Planning Programme

Muscat,

The Royal Academy of Management (RAM) today launched the second version of the Public Policy and Strategic Planning Programme. This programme targets undersecretaries and their equivalents in the government sector.

The programme aims to empower national leaders to design, formulate, and implement public policies and strategic plans that enhance national competitiveness. It is implemented in cooperation with Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and Cambridge Judge Business School in the United Kingdom (UK).

Prof. Mahad Said Baawain, Minister of Labour and Member of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Academy of Management, stated in his speech: “The launch of the Public Policy and Strategic Planning Programme – The Path of the Undersecretaries, in its second version, epitomizes its alignment with the directives of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to enable national leaders to develop robust public policies and strategic plans to bolster Oman’s economy. This initiative advances the mission of the Royal Academy of Management and aims to effectively develop public policies to achieve the ambitious goals of Oman Vision 2040.”

He added that, “The programme had achieved remarkable successes in its previous version, including the strengthening of institutional ties, the advancement and effective communication of public policies, the optimisation of governmental procedures and institutional interactions, and the strategic alignment of the government sector towards sustainability and economic growth”.

On his turn, Dr. Ali Qasim Al Lawati, President of the Royal Academy of Management, emphasised the importance of the Public Policy and Strategic Planning Programme in uniting policy and decision-makers within government agencies. This programme is designed to enhance cooperation across various units of the state’s administrative apparatus to meet the objectives of Oman Vision 2040. Participants will gain insights into global trends, the latest advancements in strategic thinking and planning, and the complexities of crafting and implementing public policies. The programme is developed in partnership with leading global institutions, focusing on the local context and how global trends and developments impact the Sultanate of Oman, aligning with its national priorities in public policy development and implementation.

Al Lawati also mentioned that the programme aims to equip participating national leaders with strategic solutions by the end of its five-month duration, concluding in October 2024. Throughout the programme, participants will engage in analytical readings of qualitative data, which will contribute to the formulation of public policies. The curriculum features training and learning modules, alongside dialogues and methodologies designed to enhance the development of dynamic strategies and strategic planning policies based on evidence and data, utilising modern technologies in their formulation. This approach is intended to generate decisions with a strategic dimension.

It is noteworthy that RAM works closely with a range of strategic partners to implement its varied programmes and initiatives, focusing on executive and administrative innovation. A significant collaboration is with Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Furthermore, the Academy also partners with the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge, recognised as one of the top 20 global centres for business education.
