In today’s digital age, a revolution is underway that is reshaping how business leaders plan for the future. Generative AI was once confined to research labs and speculative headlines. Now, it has moved into the mainstream. It has become part of everyday conversations in boardrooms and government offices. While it unlocks new possibilities, it also brings unprecedented pressure for those leading the way.
Many business leaders now face a unique challenge as they strive to keep up with rapid technological advances while making critical decisions on adoption, ethics, and governance. Very often, many are left wondering how to begin.
Singapore offers a good example of how this challenge is being addressed with purpose through its Singapore National AI Strategy 2.0, which sets out to boost the AI talent pool from 4,500 to 15,000 practitioners. By equipping senior business leaders, professionals and enterprises with the skills to apply AI effectively, these efforts enable organisation-wide adoption and strengthen Singapore’s position as a global hub for AI innovation.
In response to the growing need for digital fluency, our NUS-ISS learning pathways have been carefully curated to support leaders, professionals and enterprises at every level for this national effort. These thoroughly crafted courses form an ecosystem that supports them from strategic planning to technical execution in the world of generative AI. Each one is tailored to a specific group, from senior level executives shaping strategy to managers driving implementation, and technical professionals building enterprise-grade AI systems. Every course is using hands-on real-life cases. Together, they help leaders turn uncertainty into action as they offer a roadmap for moving forward with clarity and confidence.
We begin with the (Generative) AI for Business Leaders course. It helps C-suite decision makers understand the power of generative AI. Participants will be equipped with the knowledge and strategies to harness GenAI for innovation, growth, and organisational transformation. They walk away with the knowledge to lead change and a deeper understanding of how to embed AI into their organisation’s strategy.
Next is the (Generative) AI to Supercharge Products & Workflows course. It is designed for those who manage and translate between technical teams and business stakeholders. This dynamic two-day programme is designed to help integrate GenAI into operations, driving unparalleled innovation and efficiency.
Lastly, we offer the Custom Generative AI Systems for Enterprises course. This is where it combines hands-on with theory practice. Technical leaders and advanced practitioners learn how to build, fine-tune, and deploy custom AI systems that are efficient, scalable, and responsible. A key focus lies in understanding how to use Large Language Models effectively.
What set our programmes apart is the emphasis on practical application and real-world problem solving. Participants engage with real-world case studies and work through problems that mirror their own organisational challenges. With leaders and professionals so short on time, each course is designed to deliver impact with enough context, followed by useful hands-on learning, so insights can be applied immediately.
And the impact is already being felt. As shared by one of our past participants Mr Han Jiamin, Principal, Digital Solutions from the Life Insurance sector:
“(Generative) AI to Supercharge Products & Workflows course struck a great balance between business and tech, offering both a solid introduction and insightful technical depth. It helped me identify suitable enterprise use-cases and understand how to address GenAI’s inherent limitations such as hallucinating, misuse, ethical concerns. This is an ideal course for professionals looking to go beyond a surface-level understanding and apply GenAI in real business contexts.”Echoing the same sentiment is Mr John Lim, Principal Consultant and Master Trainer at Innov Formation: "Thanks to the course’s industry-relevant content and expert-led insights, I’ve integrated AI into client projects for better business decisions while gaining a deeper understanding of digital systems for my company’s direction."
Generative AI is already shifting how decisions are made and how value is created. The longer leaders wait to build capability, the harder it becomes to catch up. Our programmes offer a clear starting point. The time to move is now.
