Overview

The pandemic has accelerated a pre-COVID-19 shift in how individuals and teams do intellectual work. The post-pandemic future of teamwork is likely to be a purposeful hybrid combination of virtual coordination and in-person collaboration. Effective Leadership in this new hybrid world requires different skills beyond traditional team leadership. Building resilient leaders is thus critical for sustainable businesses.

Assessment

There will be presentation or written assessments for each module. 

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).
