"The Virtual Learning Series from SMU for the Cipla Business and Functional Leaders has been a great and unique learning journey for the 111 participants spread across 2 cohorts. They have found the session interactions highly relevant, meaningful and enabling actionable insights. And all this at a time when we are undergoing possibly the biggest VUCA of our lifetimes.
The efforts and contributions made by each of the faculty members were exceptional to make the sessions tailored and highly fit for purpose. All this wouldn’t have been possible without SMU Executive Development orchestrating the entire show. Your significant efforts and desire to deliver optimal value is exemplary to say the least. The entire senior leadership at Cipla is appreciative of the value which our engagement with SMU has delivered and you have led the show from the front."

"We had a wonderful collaboration with SMU! The curriculum they helped to put together meets our goal. We appreciate the excellent quality of the program, the engaging speakers, and most important, the rich knowledge on Asia that SMU brings into the classroom discussion. Our participants walked away with lots of reflection and renewed energy on advancing higher education development in their respective institutions across Asia. It was a great experience working with SMU colleagues, they are very professional, and on top of that, warm and caring!"

"The success of our partnership with SMU-ExD was made possible because of the high level commitment from the team and faculty members; ensuring that the modules offered to our executives are current, progressive and directly applicable. The multi-faceted programme provided our executives with a memorable learning journey that was enriching and engaging."
Excel Leadership Programme
"The EXCEL Leadership programme structure was very well defined and provided a huge learning curve. The Hogan assessment was very useful to me as it revealed some characteristics of myself that everybody else saw in me, which I didn’t. During the personal coaching session, I was given many insights on where to improve and how to lead my team in my current organisation based on my Hogan assessment. As a leader, it is very important to continuously know yourself and where you stand with your strengths and weaknesses before going forward with an action plan."
