This 12-month blended programme prepares professionals aspiring to accelerate their career trajectories by building a robust foundation in business strategy, cross-functional leadership, and analytical decision-making.
The blended programme empowers learners to lead amid complexity, drive innovation, and adopt a holistic approach to managing diverse functions.
