PUBLIC SECTOR CONDUCTIVE ECOSYSTEM (EKSA)

MAMPU has undertaken the initiative to enhance the existing Public Sector 5S Practice in a rebranding exercise which introduced the Public Sector Conducive Ecosystem or better known as EKSA. This move is in line with efforts to strengthen the organisational culture of high performance and innovation among public sector agencies by providing a conducive environment, work culture and positive values for public servants.

The rebranding is aimed at empowering public sector agencies to:

1. Expand the implementation of Conducive Ecosystem in public sector agencies;
2. Enhance their corporate image;
3. Inculcate a culture of creativity and innovation in line with stakeholder’s expectations;
4. Promote efforts supporting the campaign to Go Green; and
5. Ensure that auditing elements meet the needs of various public sector agencies.
