Globalisation, economic turmoil and complexity define today’s business environment. It is no wonder that it is harder than ever to achieve a competitive advantage. Not only do you have to think globally; you also have to act and react globally – in circumstances that no one can predict.
The three-week Aviation Leaders Programme in Advanced Management (ALPAM) aims to provide civil aviation professionals with a broad cross-functional perspective into management in civil aviation. It will also facilitate professionals who have been leaders in their areas of expertise to step up to a general management role in civil aviation. Key leadership skills and general management competencies will be explored in an aviation context, equipping participants for leadership at the various general management levels. ALPAM is a focused and effective executive education programme that will equip you with all of the skills and knowledge you will need for your role as a general manager. It provides you with the confidence to manage the complexity you will be facing as you complete the transition from functional to general management.

Programme partner
This programme was designed to focus on the needs of the General Manager in the Civil Aviation Industry. In leading organisations for value creation, general managers must excel in three important areas:
1. Leading the Business
Whether an organisation is run for profit or for the collective needs of society, it must essentially do three things well. It must have a value proposition, it must have a means to deliver this value proposition to its customers and/or stakeholders, and it must capture enough value to be sustainable.
2. Leading Others
The hardest part of managing the transition from functional to general management is letting go of the idea that you have all the answers. Delegation, leadership, motivation, prioritisation, visioning, all becoming much more important to the general manager. This programme is designed specifically to address these skills in leading others more effectively to achieve a broader set of organisational goals.
3. Leading yourself
Leading others is only possible if you truly understand your own management style, strengths and weaknesses. Within a unique group of participants from other cultures, industries and backgrounds, you will learn to see yourself differently and more clearly than ever before.
Aviation Thought Leadership and Best Practices
SAA brings to the programme more than 50 years of experience and extensive international links in aviation training, tapping on its accumulated expertise in aviation governance and regulation. Talks and sharing sessions will be conducted by government and industry leaders to provide insights on Singapore’s thought leadership in aviation and topical management issues, leveraging on Singapore’s experience and best practices in aviation.
