Management Development Programme @ Nanyang

Management Development Programme @ Nanyang is designed to equip high-potential, middle level managers with general management capabilities, leadership skills and heightened self and team awareness to prepare them for senior leadership positions in their organisations. The intensive nine-day programme comprises three core pillars – Strategy, Business and People.

• The Strategy pillar will provide executives with tools and frameworks to better understand key dynamics affecting organisational performance and help them think more strategically to formulate and execute better strategies. Participants will also be encouraged to view their role in the context of corporate strategy and growth goals, so that they can better align their own daily priorities with the strategic goals and mission of the organisation.

• The Business pillar will equip executives with essential management skills and concepts of key business functions, while providing an overview of disruptive technology (e.g. AI, blockchain) on today's business models. They will gain a better understanding of the business model canvas and cultivate an innovative mindset to drive sustainable growth and profitability.

• The People pillar is designed to help executives increase their self and team awareness, so that they can build and inspire high performing team to achieve superior results. As managers advance in their career, they need to complement their functional skills with the ability to coach and integrate the efforts of others. They will also need to develop leadership competencies to motivate team members to embrace and support organisational change.
