Executive Director's Message

A very warm welcome to SMU Executive Development,

Complexity, customer-centricity, and connectivity will continue to change our professional lives. The cultural transformation in a digital age demands a change in our set of skills, behaviours and leadership capabilities.

Agility, resilience, and system thinking will be key “Future Skills” to face an ever-faster churn of business models and industry disruption. At the same time, strategic thinking, empathy and problem solving will remain critically important for responsible leaders.

At SMU Executive Development, we create technology-enabled learning ecosystems that reflect the demands of contemporary and future working environment.

How can we most effectively equip our leaders with these "Future Skills"?

International collaborations and digital learning solutions along all steps of the learning journey create a learning environment that prepares for the future. Interdisciplinary, experiential, and virtual learning formats augment classic classroom interaction.

What are the skills you want to learn? What does your organisation need to grow in the future?

I invite you to discover the many ways in which we can help you to master the digital transformation and prepare for future growth.
