In the final week we will discuss more about universal coverage scheme and challenges in the COVID-19 era.

And the cost to it is huge to initiate and maintain. Have you seen the series หมอหงวน…แสงดาวแห่งศรัทธา https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzr4d9o4_II Recommended!

Some of these 8-steps from Kotter would probably be needed:
Create a sense of urgency
Build a guiding coalition
Form a strategic vision and initiatives
Enlist a volunteer army
Enable action by removing barriers
Generate short-term wins
Sustain acceleration
Institute change

Can you list the keys to success of the changing? Was it kind of compulsory to change? Somehow it seems easier when that it the case, isn’t it?

Similar point to Pisit on the hierarchical and seniority in Asian culture, wouldn’t it be good if the senior leaders show how to become corruption-free in an organization? I think we need many good role models to generate changes. What is it liked in other countries…anyone?

Pisit, excellent observation of the Thai system. I have to admit that I searched for the two terms you mentioned, megalomaniac and narcissistic, very interesting description of self-centering. Changing this will take time but at least we are creating more awareness among the new generation here.

It is good to hear from the different views from Arwin and Anawat on impacts of COVID19 in their setting. Thanks for sharing. Can I hear more from the class?

I cannot access the chart. It is not straight forward for me too. You may need to change the permission type of the picture in the shared drive as well.

STEEP – Social, Technologies, Environment, Economic and Political – what factors influence the healthcare resources in your setting based on these categories?

Thanks for sharing the first Gantt chart. I wasn’t sure of the time unit there and there seemed to be many units left at the end without further activities. It will be nice to hear more of your opinion on how useful it was and what could be improved in the future Gantt charts for you.

It looks very sophisticated and it would be really nice to hear more about the usefulness of this Gantt chart in the operation and any issues given the COVID-19 pandemic. I am hoping that you could share more in the live webinar if that is ok.

Thanks a lot for sharing. Now I can try to post mine.

By the way, can you share with everyone how to share the picture file here???

Interesting plan with many overlapping activities at one point in time. As long as it is ok to work in parallel. In the lecture by COURSERA, it looks like they switch the positions between task list and team responsible compared to yours. I guess it doesn’t matter.

I guess you are sharing the story as you were part of the implementation, so well done. This is a relevant topic to this course of leading change!

I am glad this new job fits well with your life style. It is important to stay happy working of course.

I admire your way of travelling and exploring the world. I know people who enjoy travel alone. Maybe I will try that one day.

More opportunities to practice more English in this course so please grasp your chance!

Great sharing, thank you. Job changing is a big decision so I am glad you are happy with the new job.
