The infrastructure sector is undergoing rapid and unprecedented changes due to the disruptions caused by emerging global business models, technological innovations, environmental challenges and social expectations. To thrive in this dynamic and complex environment, infrastructure leaders need to develop a holistic and multi-dimensional perspective that takes into consideration the interdependencies, interactions and impacts of various infrastructure components and stakeholders. In partnership with InCoBan, SMU Executive Development has developed ALPIC, a unique and comprehensive leadership program that aims to equip leaders with the skills, knowledge and mindset to comprehend, analyse and address the complex issues and challenges facing the infrastructure sector. Through ALPIC, leaders will develop a better understanding of the sector, grow their leadership skills and lead to inspire, influence and collaborate with diverse stakeholders. ALPIC presents the opportunity for leaders to widen their networks, become catalysts and change agents to create a positive impact on the sector and society.

This programme offers an ideal opportunity to strengthen your understanding of the director’s role and how to serve the firm more effectively.In Singaporean law, the board of directors is held to be ultimately responsible for virtually every aspect of their company’s activities. However, it is impractical and undesirable for a board to attempt to supervise minutia associated with the company’s operations. Thus, boards need to think carefully about their roles and functions and not meekly accept management agendas. The role of the company director continues to be shaped by a multitude of forces including economic uncertainty, larger and more complex organizations, the increasing pace of technological innovation and a more rigorous regulatory environment. At the same time there is more onus on directors to operate transparently and be more accountable for their actions and decisions. We aim through the diploma and certificate course to provide participants with an appropriate knowledge and skills to enable them to contribute as effective directors.
