The PwC-Oxford Advanced Management and Leadership Masterclass for SMEs

This Masterclass is jointly designed by PwC and Oxford Saïd, and purpose-built to help senior business leaders and emerging leaders in Singapore SMEs advance their management and leadership skills, knowledge and behaviours.

This is a 4-day (24 learning hours) intensive programme conducted through virtual classrooms that brings together the best-in-class skills, knowledge, experience and expertise from PwC and Oxford Saïd Business School. Obviously, this makes for a powerful intersection of theory, industry experience and practical application which will benefit the leadership hierarchies of Singapore SMEs.
