A great opportunity for Sri Lankan Managers!

Berkeley-Nanyang Advanced Management Programme comes to South Asia
One of Asia's leading universities, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, USA (UC Berkeley) are bringing a premium 4 week Berkeley Nanyang Advanced Management Programme (BNAMP) to India. This 4-week programme with 2 weeks at Delhi, India and 2 weeks at Berkeley, US is designed for experienced senior managers with high leadership potential.

NTU is recognized for its research excellence and industry relevance. The Nanyang Business School is the first Singapore business school to achieve both AACSB International and EQUIS accreditations. Our flagship, MBA Programme is ranked 27th in the world according to the Financial Times (FT) 2010 rankings. The latest ranking by FT re-affirms the Nanyang MBA as the best programme in Singapore.

At the Nanyang Executive Education, Nanyang Business School, the programmes offered are built upon the philosophy of Asian relevance but Global impact and value creation. Coupled with our strong industry links, our programmes provide for personal development opportunities and equip executives with the skills/knowledge required for success in the arena of constant change and increasing complexity.

The classroom of today is a far cry of the chalk and dust boards of yesteryears. Nowadays it's not only about teaching and learning in the classroom, it's also about leveraging on experiences of both the participants and instructor, thereby encouraging more interaction between the instructor and participants, and also among the participants themselves.

Over the last five years, senior executives from local, regional and global multinational organizations, government departments and statutory boards have immersed themselves in the East-West experience offered in the BNAMP. Recounting his experience in the programme, Mohan Khanna, General Manager at NASSCOM, India, says

"I attended the programme in Gurgaon, India. It was a great learning experience for me as the quality of faculty and programme content was very high. What made the programme all the more enriching was the focus on real-life scenarios and the thrust on the participants to develop new insights.

The sessions on culture intelligence, coupled with insights on ancient Chinese philosophy, brought out the best of management practices of the East and the West. I also appreciated the effort towards creating a diverse group which enables us to learn from the varied experience that each participant had to offer. All in all an excellent programme, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to senior executives from private or public institutions to reinvigorate their perspectives."

The Berkeley-Nanyang Advanced Management Programme is a joint collaboration between the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, USA (UC Berkeley) and Nanyang Business School, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NBS, NTU). Combining lectures and industry talks, this programme puts you in touch with the dynamic and distinctive business communities, culture and environments of Singapore and USA.

The topics covered in the programme aim to provide real relevance to the challenges faced by the senior executives at work. By actively participating in the programme, the participant will have a better insight and perspective on how to respond to the complex and changing business world, in order to be a better manager and corporate strategist. More importantly, the lessons learnt are not only applicable in the workplace; it is also relevant to one's personal career planning and development.

Summing up the sentiments of the participants, Mr Suresh Bansal, Executive Director of DTDC Courier & Cargo Ltd., says, "The programme was much more relevant for Indian leadership, Indian philosophy and culture. The teaching methodology was fresh and new. I could apply many aspects immediately in my business."

The Berkeley-Nanyang Advanced Management Programme is also the first executive programme in Singapore to offer a direct link to the Nanyang Executive MBA (English) Programme. Qualified participants who have completed the Berkeley-Nanyang AMP will be awarded academic credits towards the EMBA Degree. The Nanyang Executive MBA (EMBA) Programme aims to prepare high flyers at the middle to senior management levels to meet the challenges and rigours of the new marketplace while getting a world-class degree.

Our international participants and faculty enrich the programme with diverse cultural, intellectual and management perspectives. Varied viewpoints and multicultural experiences are introduced to a class that currently comprises almost 50% international participants.
