Effective leadership is no longer simply about managing individual disciplines, from HR to marketing to finance. Its about bringing them together. You must nurture integration, collaboration and change to improve individual and team performance. This is the inspiration for our Executive Masters in Leadership, Strategy and Innovation (EMLSI).
The role of leaders has changed.
Choose the EMLSI programWe live and work in a new era of interconnected, international business, defined by new
products and new technologies that demand new business models and strategies for profit
generation and value creation.
It means that, today, leaders need to think and work globally. Innovation and integration
are now leadership imperatives which led us to ask business, government and academia the
question: What kind of development do the leaders of tomorrow actually want and need?
EMLSI Designed by leaders, for leadersOur 12 month EMLSI program has been created from the ground up for aspiring leaders
from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors across the Asia Pacific.
All elements of our technology enabled curriculum, Capstone Consulting project and International Immersion module have been inspired by real-world needs of managers who are looking to step up and add tangible value in a leadership role.

Leadership Dynamics From Follower to Leader
Enabling a context within which
people can exceed their mission is
the central purpose of leadership.
This module supports participants
by helping them reflect on their
behaviours and attributes as
managers by responding to key Qs:
Where am I in my leadership journey?
How do I respond to evolving
externalities and what changes
will I need to make to transition
from a follower to a leader?
This module will enhance and
activate your transition from a
follower to a leader.
Developing High Performance Work Systems
(HPWS) is a term used to describe a
management strategy whereby a set
of complementary human resource
management and work practices are
implemented with the expectation
that they will deliver improved
organisational performance. In this
module participants will acquire
an understanding of the design
principles underpinning the key
elements of an HPWS. Additionally
the workshop will explore the impact
of national and organisational culture
in facilitating HPWS.
Manager as aPerformance Coach
This module addresses key issues
focused on developing the
participant as a manager-coach.
Coaching as a profession has
undergone rapid advancements
over the last two decades. It
fundamentally revolves around

in changing contexts by leveraging
individual talent and potential,
knowledge advancement and
capability enhancement. This
module will help the participant

frameworks and the processes

activity for the participant.

Managing Uncertainty Through Scenario Planning
Reacting to organisational
environments that evolve
continuously requires managers
to work with constant change
and uncertainty. One avenue of
responding to the complexity of
such environments is to adopt a
scenario planning approach as part
of strategy building. Organisational
strategy can be better constructed
and executed by reflecting on
multi-disciplinary input that result
in new trends, driving forces and
macro events. This module enables
managers to assess externalities,
develop, apply and evaluate
scenarios to the organisations
strategic context.
Leading from Strategy to Operations
This module covers the design
and implementation of strategy,
both at the organisation and at the
business unit levels. It also presents
the tools and methodologies for
industry and competition analysis
- in new, mature and emerging
markets - as well as techniques to
tap uncontested markets to deliver
fast growth and superior profitability.
Emphasis is placed on the importance
of execution-centred strategic
planning and the management
of business processes, as well as
on change management and
overcoming the challenges of strategy
implementation.
Rethinking Strategic Value of Markets and Consumers
When business, societal and
environmental realities evolve,
the strategic value creation,
communication and dissemination
process also undergoes change.
This module critically assesses these
new realities in the context of a
virtualised and globalised business
