SMU-ExD Executive Development Information

Agility, changing perspectives and inter-disciplinary exchange are at the heart of the SMU Executive Development (SMU ExD). Technological change impacts us every day and its pace keeps accelerating. The need for constant and ongoing organisational transformation adds another dimension of challenges for leaders. Your ability to lead the company of the future matters and the first step to succeed in a rapidly evolving employment landscape is to champion continuous learning and to develop internal capabilities. SMU ExD programmes are organised with the objective of empowering executives for the future and leading transformative culture in their organisations, hence the theme “Cultural Transformation in a Digital Age”. SMU ExD is dedicated to international talent development in a contemporary Asian setting. Integrating the best of Asian and Western practices and theories, our Public Programmes, and Customised Corporate Programmes deliver outstanding returns on investment for individuals and organisations, leveraging meticulously-designed curricula that address business challenges. Embedded in the overall thrust to anticipate and bridge the capabilities for the future, SMU ExD aims to be the intelligent agent in propelling the development of executives. Our commitment to providing transformative education ensures that all programme goals are met to develop the next generation of skilled and responsible business leaders to support the success of Singaporean companies globally and to make global companies successful in Asia. Incorporating mobile micro-learning platforms as part of its teaching curriculum, SMU ExD encourages learners who are also busy executives to learn on-the-go.
