Through facilitated learning, case studies, industry-led examples and project work, participants are exposed to the global economic and socio-political developments, impact of innovations and disruptions to the engineering sector, and how to lead their organisations to cope with and embrace change. The project work serves as a hands-on practice for participants to apply all the concepts learnt in the programme, and outcomes are likely to be relevant and transferable to their workplace. By attending this programme, participants can expect to: • gain insights for better decision making in an unpredictable and volatile global business environment • put strategic and practical knowledge into practice through a capstone project which will be presented on the final day of the programme At the end of this course, participants should be able to: • Understand current regional geo-political landscape and what it takes for businesses to navigate through crises and uncertainty • Appreciate the impact of innovations and disruptions to the engineering sector • Connect the theories and practices in creative problem solving to derive solutions for their business problems • Embrace and thrive in change management
