An established human resource executive programme from the London Business School will be coming to Singapore.

The Singapore programme, named Human Resource Strategy in Transforming Organisations - Asia, marks the first time that LBS is conducting the programme outside of London.

The programme is the result of the Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) memorandum of understanding with the London Business School, signed on Sep 21.

Commenting on the collaboration, Professor Sir Andrew Likierman, Dean of London Business School said they were "delighted to be doing it in Singapore, where over 400 of our alumni already live".

Mr Leo Yip, Permanent Secretary of MOM, felt the partnership advanced HR skills development in Singapore.

"The collaboration will deepen Singapore's capability in cutting edge human capital research, while delivering the best-in-class executive education.

"Taking advantage of Singapore's strategic location at the heart of Asia, this collaboration will be highly beneficial to global and Asian enterprises seeking to grow their talent base and capture markets in Asia," said Mr Yip.

You can sign up for the programme in Singapore from Nov 8 to 13.
