Testimonials

"The Stanford-NUS Executive Programme provides a wide range of subjects relevant to doing business today. The group study sessions offer excellent opportunities for sharing insights and ideas."

"I found a lot of value in the programme as it really enriches the mind. It puts you through a number of exercises that really stretch things that you knew from the past - the things that you probably need to revisit. The opportunity to meet a diverse group of peers across cultures, industries and governments is just fantastic. To make these types of relationships and to learn at the same time, you can't get any better than that!"

SIM GIM KOON Director Singapore Telecommunications Ltd, Singapore 2004 Participant

DENNIS W ROSE Vice President - Pacific Citrix Systems Hong Kong Ltd, Hong Kong 2006 Participants

NIKOLAI SAPOUNOV President Rasco US, United States of America 2007 Participant

"Truly world-class, the intensity and sequence of the programme keeps one connected to the core learning experience, which in turns provides fresh perspectives. Attending the programme has helped me dramatically in all aspects of my business."

MOHAMMAD RAMZAN SHEIKH Chief Executive Mainland Husnain Pakistan Ltd, Pakistan 2007 Participant

"The curriculum is very well structured. I can relate every single topic and session to the industry and day-to-day work that I do. So I really appreciate the programme. I will highly recommend it to anyone of my peers and colleagues."

YU YANG Chief Representative - China Grosvenor Limited, China 2008 Participant

"The professors are absolutely top-notch!

Interacting with participants from close to 20 countries provided an outstanding opportunity to network, exchange experiences and opinions. A very beneficial and inspiring experience."

STEVEN GILMORE Senior Operations Manager The Boeing Company, United States of America 2001 & 2007 Participant

"This is a brilliant programme for experienced business leaders, managers and entrepreneurs.

It is a must for business leaders to have a 360 Ëš view of the context and concepts, and a command of professional management. The programme helps refresh the core lessons in leadership, finance accounting, strategy, branding, decision-making, organisational-behaviour and design, Far Eastern Asian economic development, technology, management, operations and human resource development."

"I have benefitted in two ways, and it has been a rare enriching experience. For one, it has allowed me, in a very short period of two weeks, to get a very broad overview of how businesses are run, and this is all in part due to the experienced faculty who have immense experience in doing consulting work in the region, and secondly due to the diverse nature of the participants coming from different geographical regions as well as from different business backgrounds."

HUSSAIN NAQVI CEO & Partner Mediacom International LLC, United Arab Emirates 2003 Participant

CHUA MENG SENG Deputy Head, Naval Operations Republic of Singapore Navy, Singapore 2008 Participant

"There are two key takeaways that I got from the course. The first came from the professors who, without exceptions, were outstanding in their presentations, their relevance and their knowledge of the subject theories; and second, and just as important, were the other participants. Coming from approximately 19 countries and from very different backgrounds, they provided a very broad insight to the conduct of the course."

"One of the key advantages that I have found in attending this course is that there are organisations growing enormously, and consequently we are restructuring so perspectives on strategic development in organisational design culture have really given me a framework in which to look at some of the challenges that other organisations are facing."
