SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#BusinessSchool–The National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School Executive Education has launched a 9-month Chief Strategy Officer Programme in collaboration with Emeritus, the global leader in making high-quality education accessible and affordable to individuals and organisations worldwide. The programme enables senior-level professionals to become adept in strategy formation and implementation paramount to the increasing demands of a fast-paced business world.

According to PwC�s Global Crisis Survey (2021), 96% of businesses globally are accelerating transformations in organisation areas identified during the pandemic and 77% are making changes to their corporate strategy in response to COVID-19.

Taught by distinguished NUS Business School faculty, Andrew Delios (Professor, Strategy & Policy), Chung Yuen Kay (Associate Professor, Strategy & Policy), Lawrence Loh (Professor, Strategy & Policy), Nitin Pangarkar (Associate Professor, Strategy & Policy), and Usa Skulkerewathana (Senior Lecturer, Management & Organisation), the 9-month Chief Strategy Officer programme, in collaboration with Emeritus, is ideal for senior-level professionals, with 10+ years of work experience. The course curriculum includes 18 modules with focus on Global Strategy, Executing Growth Strategies, Global Leadership, along with electives and real-world case studies to upskill professionals for the challenging business environment and undertake strategic business decisions.

Participants would be better equipped to develop their organisation’s strategy, as well as identify and implement new technologies according to their growing business demands. The meticulously curated industry-leading modules will enable participants to advance their leadership potential and strategic decision-making capabilities to drive growth strategies and business excellence.

Commenting on the launch of the programme, Jai Arya, Head, Executive Education, NUS Business School at NUS Business School, said, “The role of Chief Strategy Officer has taken on greater significance in recent times, with the growing need for businesses to keep pace with the challenges of disruption and the demands of a fast-changing marketplace. This course is designed to equip aspiring and experienced CSOs with the end-to-end strategic and tactical skills that will help them to thrive in today’s business environment.”

Mohan Kannegal, CEO, India and APAC, Emeritus, said, “As per KPMG CEO Outlook Survey, 2021, 73% of Global CEOs want to actively disrupt the industry they operate in. The Chief Strategy Officer Programme will equip senior executives with theoretical and practical aspects of strategic leadership. In today’s era, the business landscape is marked by various shifting forces, which makes it difficult to predict outcomes of real-time decisions to meet business challenges. We have identified this skill gap and the need to upskill professionals. This programme will help upskill professionals to match the latest demands of the industry.”

The programme also provides networking opportunities with distinguished peers, and allows learners to participate in interactive sessions with eminent faculty and receive insights from industry leaders. Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will receive a digital certificate of completion from NUS Business School and attend a graduation and networking event in Singapore.
