TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) delivered a speech on the “corporate culture” of his administration and explored issues concerning digital governance at the I-Mei Foods building on May 20 at the invitation of the Digital Taiwan Roundtable (台灣數位科技與政策協進會).
Attendees of the seminar included Taipei’s Department of Information Technology Commissioner Lu Hsin-ke (呂新科), Department of Economic Development Commissioner Lin Chung-chieh (林崇傑), President of Digital Taiwan Roundtable Luis Ko (高志明), and city advisor Ben Jai (翟本喬).
Ko reiterated his political philosophy of “do the right thing,” while providing an environment that allows employees to “make mistakes,” so as to spur innovation without the fear of incurring penalties for failure.
The leader of Taiwan’s capital city laid out the key elements shaping the core values of the city government, which are integrity, openness, innovation, and teamwork. However, he joked, “teamwork lacking integrity amounts to complicity structure,” urging public servants not to fail people. [FULL STORY]
