Senior Management Programme (SMP)

Introduction

In the fast-evolving 21st Century, Asian nations and societies have begun to gain new influence on the world stage. At the same time, economies in Asia and across the globe are struggling to maintain their growth and development during the on-going economic crisis. The challenge will be for systems of governance and leadership to keep pace with and adapt to the new realities, which are shaped by changing international dynamics and rapid, technology-driven globalisation.

To help meet this challenge, the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, New York and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School) at National University of Singapore are pleased to offer the 7th annual Senior Management Programme (SMP) on leadership, governance and strategic management. Together with a distinguished team of experienced academics and practitioners, the four-week SMP will provide participants a holistic learning experience across a gamut of pertinent topics and equip them with the skills they required to have a positive impact on their organisations and society at large. All participants will benefit from a rigorous study of policies, framework, tools and cases that have succeeded and those that failed.

JOIN THE SMP – An invaluable platform for participants from the world over to gather, discuss and exchange ideas on how societies are best governed and led in a globalising world.

Innovative & Leading-Edge Learning

Taking a step towards harnessing technology for executive learning, all SMP participants will receive each a complimentary tablet for use during and after the programme. Learning at the SMP will go paper-less and all programme materials, reading notes and slides will be wirelessly accessed via the tablet in the classroom. The use of this innovative tool will enhance participant’s learning experience, improve accessibility to the materials, and provide the latest information and updates. Subject to availability, the Apple iPad may be used for the upcoming SMP 2012.
