Programme Features

Blended Modular Learning

The ELP curriculum makes a shift from traditional business management learning to emphasize aspects that will not only strengthen your business foundations but will also help you lead people and change effectively. Designed to spark self-reflection, innovation, and collaboration, ELP is carefully structured with three integrated modules that will be delivered in a blended format - live virtual sessions, online asynchronous self-paced courses, and campus immersion. The programme spans 8 months requiring you to commit 7-8 hours per week and less than a week away from your workplace.

This blended approach to learning is also designed to provide you with the opportunity to apply the learnings and insights you gain from the programme at work and move forward in your current role.

Industry Perspectives

You will have a unique opportunity to hear from and interact with distinguished industry leaders through focused speaker sessions. These sessions will help expand your repertoire of leadership strategies as you learn how these leaders overcame challenges in their industries, companies, and job functions to drive business outcomes. You will also learn alongside a vibrant community of peers, who hold rich experience across a variety of industries and geographies.

Action Learning Project (ALP)

The ELP provides rich experiential learning opportunities. During the programme, you will actively engage in solving a real-world business or leadership challenge in the form of an Action Learning Project (ALP) that is salient to you and draws on the learnings of the programme. Through the ALP, you will develop the ability to apply your new learnings and skills in-between modules and personalise your project plan. You will also connect and collaborate with your ELP peers who can guide you with their unique expertise and experience to steer the solution to your project.

Career Progression Series

The Career Progression series has been conceived to provide active support to ELP participants to catapult their careers onto a clear, structured path. Equipped with an AI-powered career platform, you will learn to build powerful resumes and enhance your digital profiles and presence. The series also provides three high-impact, interactive workshops that handhold learners towards a transformational professional makeover. Engage in live virtual workshops with a professional career coach to help you maximise your leadership potential.
