SMU-ExD Executive Development kicked off our 2nd run of the Growing Infrastructure Course on clean energy last week. As part of a long-standing collaboration with valued partners, Infrastructure Asia and The World Bank Group, we welcomed a diverse group of 39 participants from 12 different nationalities for a jam packed 5-day programme. On day 1, we had Professor Winston Chow, Ms Prajakta Chitre and Mr Gopi Rengasamy to share insights on strategies and policies for clean energy. We wrapped up the day with a networking dinner, providing a great opportunity for our participants to mingle, understand and learn from one another's context. From strategies and policies, we looked at business models, innovations and financing frameworks for clean energy on day 2. The sharing was helmed by Prof Shantanu Bhattacharya, Dr Chaik Ming Koh, Mr Jeff Delmon, and Mr Kelvin Wong. To get us past hump day, Mr Jeffrey Tan and Ms Nadhilah Shani introduced the class to transformative clean energy technologies. These sessions were complemented by a refreshing industry showcase of innovations by partners from Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS). In the morning of day 4, Mr Allard Nooy and Ms Karen Andries, elaborated on the challenges and solutions of clean energy from a financing and operational standpoint. Following lunch, a site visit to SembCorp Floating Solar Farm hosted by Jian Hui helped to showcase the application of what was covered in class over the course of the programme. On the final day, Mr Jen Wee KANG and Mr Andre Oei introduced green finance mechanisms for clean energy before we wrapped up with project presentations. As part of the course rigour, participants were assigned one another's real-world projects and had to apply what they had learnt to provide constructive feedback. This was evaluated by an esteemed panel comprising Mr Devin CHAN, Mr Jie Tang, Mr Ludovic Delplanque and Mr Luke Foley. Thanks to our faculty, speakers, organisations and participants for making this programme a success. Dr Flocy Joseph and Prof Shantanu Bhattacharya served as the Programme Directors, supported by Kyler Chua and Boon Chong Goh throughout the week.

🌟 Are you a Crusader Leader? 🌟 Crusader leaders passionately advocate for their vision, driven by core values and a sense of purpose. While this approach can yield immediate results, it can often be perceived as close minded, inflexible and overly passionate.
