Social Enterprise Ecosystem LEadership for Change and Transformation Programme


This programme is co-designed by raiSE and Singapore Management University (SMU) Office of Executive Education



Unleashing Sustainable Change & Transformation Through Ecosystem Leadership

 

 

In the current climate of economic, social and environmental challenges, leaders are tasked to take on a proactive role in navigating and spearheading initiatives into these uncharted areas. The increasing difficulty in solving these challenges has unveiled significant gaps in skills necessary to lead impactful innovation and systemic transformations in business, society and the environment.


The rise of social entrepreneurship and social enterprises has played an increasingly significant role in alleviating challenges through social impact while seeking financial sustainability. In Singapore, an ecosystem had developed around social enterprises that indicates a heightened interest from corporations, intermediaries, academics, government, public and social service agencies. Through raiSE’s efforts as an ecosystem champion and developer, we have recognised the need for leaders who can operate effectively and be successful in creating meaningful impact. The aim is to raise a new type of ecosystem leader that has a social entrepreneurial mindset, eco-centric leadership skills and behaviours as well as networks for tri-sector collaboration to create change and transformation.


Hence, this programme aims to equip emerging and existing leaders from the private-public-people sectors with the necessary skills to cultivate them as advocates and supporters of the social enterprise ecosystem, and to inspire them to take greater initiative in the sector.
