Overview
The transition from an effective individual contributor to a new manager can be an exciting and demanding journey. Designed to fast track the managerial skills of new managers, this modular programme aims to equip the participants with the essential skills to make better decisions, obtain buy-ins from stakeholders, create value for their customers and employees, as well as uncover new business opportunities for their organisations.
Presented over 3 modules, this highly interactive programme employs a variety of learning methods. Live simulation will be used to illustrate and reinforce the application of concepts, in addition to discussions, case studies, field research and assessments, to help participants gain insights into their decision-making processes and acquire effective managerial and leadership skills to build trust and inspire others to work with them.
The 3 modules are:
- Decision Making & Stakeholder Management (formerly known as Personal Effectiveness)
- Analytics for Management Decisions (formerly known as Management Efficacy)
- Design Thinking for Business (formerly known as Business Excellence)
Learning Objectives
The programme aims to equip participants with the abilities to:
- Analyse information and systematically use evidence based management in decision making.
- Transform data into insights to gain stakeholder’s support and manage their expectations.
- Adopt analytics for effective talent management, customer acquisition and retention.
- Use Design Thinking as a driver of innovation to uncover new business opportunities for growth.

Programme Structure
Participants may either attend the full programme or only selected module(s).
Leveraging on SMU’s distinctive pedagogy for interactive, discussion driven and thought provoking seminar-style teaching, we aim to provide our participants with the ability to translate the learning and insights into practice at the workplace. A variety of teaching methods such as experiential learning, role plays, case discussions, presentations, exercises and oral questioning will be employed by the programme’s faculty in the training sessions. There will also be an individual written assessment at the end of every module which serve to assess a participant’s understanding of the subject matter.
Assessment
Participants have to meet a minimum attendance rate of 75% and have to complete all assessment(s) required by the course. Only upon meeting the minimum attendance and passing the assessment will participants be issued a Certificate of Completion.
Participants who fail the assessment will be given a chance for re-assessment at a fee of SGD100.00 (excluding prevailing GST). Each participant is allowed 1 re-assessment. The re-assessment has to be taken within 7 calendar days from the end of the course date. It will be held on a weekday specified by SMU Academy and conducted during office hours. Please note that re-assessment fees are not supported by SSG Funding.
Participants who meet the minimum attendance rate but do not achieve a pass for the assessment will be issued a Certificate of Participation.
Participants are required to bring their laptop to access the course materials, class exercises and individual assessment(s).
