Mastering Business Excellence Programme (MBE LiVE)

Business acumen and strategy for tomorrow

The CEDEP MBE is an 8-week online programme that helps participants develop a big picture understanding of an organisation and reinforces their knowledge of key business fundamentals.

With content inspired by the MBA, the programme enables participants to appreciate business strategy, its connection with finance, the role of markets & customers, and an approach to analyse operations.

With a curriculum constantly refreshed to reflect emerging concerns, the newest version of the MBE will incorporate in-depth discussions on the impact of Digital Transformation and the need to take a sustainable view of business operations.

  • 4 interactive modules over an 8-week period for time-bound learning
  • 12 faculty LiVE sessions & 3 industry expert discussions for shared learning and interactions
  • Industry experts and practitioners offering multiple industry insights
  • Cross-business group activities and exercises to develop stronger networks
  • Dedicated programme director to support participants through the course

Main Objectives

The MBA inspired online curriculum, driven by today’s emerging real-life challenges, offers informed content, relevant actionable learning, and equips participants with practical advice and tools that will be invaluable to their day-to-day operations.

  • Learn how to adapt business decision making from a narrow functional view to a holistic, big picture view focused on sustaining business growth for the long term
  • Develop the ability to deconstruct business as a dynamic interconnected system operating in a complex, volatile strategic environment

Programme details

Ideal participant

The online MBE programme is for senior functional managers who want to refresh their business acumen and strategic perspective.

  • Individuals, who by nature of their roles – corporate functions, business partners, business analysts – are required to demonstrate an enterprise level mindset while addressing operational challenges.
  • High potential employees, identified by the organization for a general management career track, will also benefit from the programme, which focuses on developing business savvy.

The programme is well suited for those who have developed functional expertise thanks to their education and professional experience, but may not possess a formal education in Business Management.
