UoC Advances Senior Leadership Development

University of Cyberjaya recently hosted a one-day Senior Management Leadership Programme, reinforcing its continued focus on strengthening leadership capability and strategic thinking across the institution.

The programme brought together 30 senior leaders, including Deans, Heads of Department, and members of the senior management team from across the Group including from Asia Metropolitan University, N’osairis Technology Solutions, Lumarix Energy and SMR HR Group. Designed as a highly interactive executive learning experience, the session was led by Professor V.G. Narayanan, bringing extensive expertise in case-based leadership and executive education.

Centred on real-world business and organisational challenges, the programme utilised well-established case studies such as Danaher, Rob Parson at Morgan Stanley, and ATH. These cases enabled participants to examine complex leadership dilemmas, organisational dynamics, and decision-making scenarios within a structured and practice-oriented learning environment.

Through facilitated dialogue, questioning techniques, and peer-to-peer engagement, participants gained practical insights into:

• Case-based approaches to leadership and strategic decision-making
• Facilitating meaningful discussions and engaging leadership teams
• Translating theory into actionable responses to real institutional challenges

The hands-on nature of the programme encouraged reflective thinking and robust discussion, allowing leaders to test assumptions, exchange perspectives, and sharpen judgement collaboratively. By working through realistic scenarios, participants were able to draw clear connections between leadership theory and the demands of day-to-day strategic decision-making.

This Senior Management Leadership Programme reflects the University of Cyberjaya’s strategic investment in executive development. By equipping its leaders with practical frameworks, sound judgement, and the confidence to navigate complexity, UoC continues to strengthen leadership effectiveness at every level.

Beyond individual development, initiatives such as this contribute directly to stronger governance, more effective decision-making, and the translation of strategy into meaningful institutional impact—aligned with UoC’s mission of Unleashing Changemakers.
