Discussions with speakers and participants particularly those involved in rail PPPs highlighted common challenges such as demand risk, fare regulation, and government support. It was also helpful to exchange experiences on how different countries manage contingent liabilities and structure risk-sharing.
Our students had the unique opportunity to engage with outstanding speakers and top-level experts who shared their personal leadership journeys and provided deep insights into the industries they represent.
Overall, it was awesome and fulfilling to be able to work on being a better leader by applying what I have learnt from the programme.
The ultimate goal of hospital management will always be to align purpose with economic feasibility in a sector that must remain committed to human values.
I particularly appreciated the diverse set of lecturers, including academics to lay out the core principles and representatives from both the public and private sectors, giving us an opportunity to hear directly from practitioners working in this sector.
AIC and SMU partnered to create transformative programmes for their internal leadership, providing the right tools and insights to spearhead innovation, navigate change with efficacy, and inspire their teams towards achieving higher care quality and resource efficiency benchmarks.
Professionally, I have gained the confidence and competence to contribute more effectively as a director, bringing a strategic perspective to boardroom discussions and decision-making processes.
It has provided me with the tools, insights, and networks necessary to excel and has reinvigorated my dedication to driving positive change.
The programme connected theory with real-world practice... mostly the Singapore cases but also from other countries that the participants came from, which makes the learning much more relevant. The site visit was also very interesting.
