NYP ++ Model for Excellence- the 4Cs Framework

Our strategy for organisational excellence is built strongly upon the NYP++ Model of Excellence - the 4Cs framework encompassing the four inter-related elements of Culture, Concept, Capability and Connection in a forward development, self-reinforcing flow.

...............................................................................................

Culture

culture
We nurture a culture that values quality relationships and interactions in a borderless environment to promote learning and sharing, openness and trust, and support collaboration, teamwork, technology innovation and resource integration across the entire organisation. Extensive and effective use of channels of communication as well as platforms for SOLID (Sharing, Organisational Learning, Interaction & Dialogue) are widely employed to propagate the NYP culture through all levels of staff.

Concept

concept

The hallmark of NYP is the Teaching Factory® concept – a unique pedagogic innovation pioneered by our Principal & CEO Mr Lin Cheng Ton in the EDB Institutes. With the transfer of the EDB Institutes to the mainstream of polytechnic education in 1993, the transfer brought along not only seasoned people with ideas and innovations, but also state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, quality programmes, as well as the successful integration of the Teaching Factory® within NYP. Mr Lin introduced many other innovative organisational concepts and business strategies, such as “Borderless Organisation”, “Career Unlimited” and “Staff Re-profiling”. They contribute significantly to our organisational excellence and the quality of our people and service in education.


...............................................................................................

Capability

cap The Teaching Factory® concept, with its philosophy of “working with industry, and training for industry” and focus on working closely with industry to provide real-world learning environments for staff and students, lays a firm foundation for capability development and people excellence. NYP continuously enhances and expands staff capability at individual, functional and organisational level, integrating and synergising many cross-functional and multi-disciplinary teams for Total System Capability.

Connection

We forge strategic alliances with our partners in industry, strengthened with high value contributions from our proven system capability, responsiveness to market needs and consistent track record in delivering innovative solutions, state-of-the-art projects, business processes and programmes. NYP has delivered many joint-industry R&D projects and customised manpower training for industry. Through such networking and industry partnerships, our staff’s capabilities and market value are constantly enhanced and our curricula always relevant to current day needs. This enhances our standing in industry and widens our value-adding network of partners and friends.
