The Senior Management Programme explores global challenges, pertinent topics and fundamental issues that affect decision making and leadership. It leads participants through a four-week learning and reflection journey covering the following areas:
(i) Essential Tools for Leaders
(ii) Government & Business: A New Interdependent Relationship
(iii) New Global Realities
Essential Tools for Leaders lies at the core of the Programme. This theme focuses on leaders as individuals. It examines their fundamental beliefs and the challenges they face, and aims to enhance their effectiveness as agents of change in their respective organisations.
Topics to be explored include:
- Leadership & Decision Making
- Strategic Management
- Advanced Negotiations
- Effective Communication & Presentation
Government & Business: A New Interdependent Relationship seeks to place the leader in the context of governments and businesses, the two principal organisational actors in a modern economy and society. Participants deepen their understanding of the principles of governance and public policymaking and explore the interconnectedness of strategic decisions in the public and private sectors. Senior government officials gain new perspectives on the formulation and impact of public policy, while business executives gain insights into public sector decision making.
Topics to be explored include:
- Managing Risks
- Business-Government Relationship
- Public-Private Partnerships
- Principles of Governance
- Strategies for Organisational Competitiveness
- Entrepreneurship & Innovation
New Global Realities explores the rapidly changing global environment in which government and business leaders operate. Participants broaden their understanding of how economic, political, social and technological forces at the global level can affect their organisations’ operating environment as well as the likely impact of those forces on public policy.
Topics to be explored include:
- Geopolitics & the New International Order
- Political Risk Analysis
- The Global Economy (with special emphasis on Asia)
- Security Trends & Challenges
The Learning Model
Practical Application is key. Our faculty’s approach emphasises interactive teaching methods, including simulations, case studies, debates, and panel discussions, in addition to the presentation of new analytical frameworks, with the aim of engaging participants as experienced practitioners. Together, the stellar cast of faculty brings with them a wealth of global experience and diverse perspectives.
Networking & Interaction with global peers from diverse backgrounds is integral to the programme. The participants themselves contribute significantly to each others’ learning experience. With the diversity in their backgrounds, organisations, countries and perspectives, they contribute to the richness of discussion both inside and outside the classroom.
Exclusive Closed Door Discussions with senior business and government leaders is another highlight of the programme. The leaders will share with participants their insights and experience in leadership, global issues and organisational challenges.
