Effective leadership is no longer simply about managing individual disciplines, from HR to marketing to finance. It’s about bringing them together. You must nurture integration, collaboration and change to improve individual and team performance. This is the inspiration for our Executive Masters in Leadership, Strategy and Innovation (EMLSI).

The role of leaders has changed.

Choose the EMLSI programWe live and work in a new era of interconnected, international business, defined by new

products and new technologies that demand new business models and strategies for profit

generation and value creation.

It means that, today, leaders need to think and work globally. Innovation and integration

are now leadership imperatives which led us to ask business, government and academia the

question: What kind of development do the leaders of tomorrow actually want and need?

EMLSI – Designed by leaders, for leadersOur 12 month EMLSI program has been created – from the ground up – for aspiring leaders

from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors across the Asia Pacific.

All elements of our technology enabled curriculum, Capstone Consulting project and

International Immersion module have been inspired by real-world needs of managers

who are looking to step up and add tangible value in a leadership role.

leadership peers

Leadership Dynamics From Follower to Leader

Enabling a context within which

people can exceed their mission is

the central purpose of leadership.

This module supports participants

by helping them reflect on their

behaviours and attributes as

managers by responding to key Qs:

• Where am I in my leadership

journey?

• How do I respond to evolving

externalities and what changes

will I need to make to transition

from a follower to a leader?

This module will enhance and

activate your transition from a

follower to a leader.

Developing High Performance Work Systems

(HPWS) is a term used to describe a

management strategy whereby a set

of complementary human resource

management and work practices are

implemented with the expectation

that they will deliver improved

organisational performance. In this

an understanding of the design

principles underpinning the key

elements of an HPWS. Additionally

the workshop will explore the impact

of national and organisational culture

in facilitating HPWS.

knowledge advancement and

capability enhancement. This

Managing Uncertainty Through Scenario Planning

Reacting to organisational

environments that evolve

continuously requires managers

to work with constant change

and uncertainty. One avenue of

responding to the complexity of

such environments is to adopt a

scenario planning approach as part

of strategy building. Organisational

strategy can be better constructed

and executed by reflecting on

multi-disciplinary input that result

in new trends, driving forces and

macro events. This module enables

managers to assess externalities,

develop, apply and evaluate

scenarios to the organisation’s

strategic context.

Leading from Strategy to Operations

This module covers the design

and implementation of strategy,

both at the organisation and at the

business unit levels. It also presents

the tools and methodologies for

industry and competition analysis

- in new, mature and emerging

markets - as well as techniques to

tap uncontested markets to deliver

fast growth and superior profitability.

Emphasis is placed on the importance

of execution-centred strategic

planning and the management

of business processes, as well as

on change management and

overcoming the challenges of strategy

implementation.

Rethinking Strategic Value of Markets and Consumers

When business, societal and

environmental realities evolve,

the strategic value creation,

communication and dissemination

process also undergoes change.

This module critically assesses these

new realities in the context of a

virtualised and globalised business

world and evaluates its impacts on

markets and consumers. The module

will provide an analytical framework

around which business problems can

be tackled and strategic decisions

made to better communicate

and disseminate processes while

enhancing strategic value.

blocks of value creation across

organisations; design a strategic

business model, leveraging the

power of various stakeholders
