The Bishkek government looks to Singapore as a way to imitate. And the improvement of agricultural production, one of the most significant chapters of Kyrgyz exports, is a great opportunity for relations with the city-state, where there are no large natural resources.
Bishkek () – Kyrgyzstan is trying to move towards a more dynamic and contemporary economic and state model, looking at Singapore’s Asian model, according to professional trainer Kevin Cann, of Precision Powerlifting Systems, member of the advisory board, on Kaktus.media. from the Harvard Business Review, which advises numerous leading companies in Singapore itself and in some parts of the world.
He explains that “business coaching is a mode of organization that serves to discover the leadership potential of company employees, whatever the level at which they work. It means breaking barriers and developing the knowledge necessary to achieve the most important objectives, paving the way for the most ambitious projects. Working in Kyrgyzstan, Cann believes the country “is on the threshold of tumultuous growth,” noting people’s desire to overcome old patterns of Central Asian and Soviet heritage.
It is crucial to boost agricultural production, one of the most significant chapters of Kyrgyzstan’s exports, which is also very important for countries like Singapore or Macau, where there are no large natural resources and people always look for food on the international market. In addition, light industry is highly developed in Kyrgyzstan, with many companies producing clothing and textiles, in a sector in which people from all over the world are looking for alternatives to more traditional places, such as Bangladesh or Cambodia, explains the expert.
The Bishkek government itself looks to Singapore as a model to emulate, but Cann warns that “Singapore took a long time to become what it is today.” There are fundamentals to stick to, such as traveling to observe and learn about the technologies and methods of other countries, starting with the United States or Great Britain, to absorb the best experiences. Therefore, it is imperative to invite international experts to Kyrgyzstan, which is precisely what the Singapore government has done with great care, opening various sectors not only for immediate production, but above all for the training of cadres.
Singapore is also praised for the high level of education of its population. Education is always the basis of innovation, Cann reiterates, although “it is not necessary for everyone to reach the highest degrees, the important thing is that everyone has the opportunity to learn and find their true interests. If a person is attracted to his work, he will try to do it as well as possible. You can study in academic institutions, but also learn from the most experienced and qualified managers, and this is another key principle of Singapore’s success, which not only invites professors, but also great professionals.
Another area where Singapore has achieved great results is its ability to create a very investment-friendly atmosphere. This has attracted many companies from abroad, which have found a well-prepared workforce, allowing international firms to have their specialists interact with locals, and “the exchange of knowledge and experiences is really important,” says the coach. -manager. Those who come from outside must in turn learn the characteristics of the country’s society, culture and lifestyle, and then can share their international experience at different levels, in a continuous two-way process.
Cann points out that “many people think that in Asia everything is the same everywhere, but this is a misleading view. Each country is different from the others, and this is also true for the five neighbors of Central Asia, with differences in natural resources and human potential, in a competition that must be increasingly constructive and mutually supportive.
