Outlining the goals for his 2022–25 tenure as Secretary-General, Dr. Singawinata stated, "My mission is to reduce the productivity gap between APO member economies by strengthening APO programs and tools. Our vision must include capacity building and technical assistance for National Productivity Organizations (NPOs) in member countries through mixed programs, strengthening the use of digital technology in NPO programs, and identifying 'quick-win' opportunities in addition to mid-term programs."

He emphasized three guiding principles for APO actions under his leadership to achieve its vision and mission: synergy; good corporate governance; and transparency. "I'm looking forward to building on over 60 years of history and past accomplishments of the APO to cement its position as the leading productivity organization not just in the Asia-Pacific region but in the world."
