C-Suite Level Strategic Programme: Managing Change in the Digital Age By Accenture-SMU
Personal Diploma in Digitalisation(for Non-Profits) by NUS Institute of System Science
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
As digitalisation becomes ubiquitous and the non-for-profits sector strive to transform in response to
growing demands, new skills are required across the sector workforce in order to enable transformation to be realised. Making sense of opportunities and solving the entrenched challenges in the sector requires an understanding of key transformation
components, including data analytics, innovation and design thinking, business process transformation, digital technology planning and systems thinking.
The Professional Diploma in Digitalisation (for Non-Profits), jointly awarded by NUS Institute of Systems
Science and National Council of Social Service (NCSS), will be made up of 5 courses and a capstone project. The 4-6 month capstone project will demonstrate the skills learnt from the 5 courses towards a digitalisation project for intended organisation.
This programme is offered as a series of short training courses ranging from 2 to 3 days each in duration, and can be taken as separate modules, as and when convenient. The courses cover key skill areas that impact the organisation’s transformation
outcomes. Participants are taught through classroom lectures, group discussions, and experiential workshops. Upon completion of the essential training courses, participants will proceed to complete a capstone project, designed to enable them to apply
the skills learned in practice.
Who Should Attend
The programme is intended for organisations to support their employees
who are involved in digital transformation planning or activities, to learn the relevant skills and deliver a digitalisation or digital transformation related projects within their organisations.
Pre-requisites
No specific pre-requisites are required to undertake the training courses as each course is designed to build key skills from scratch, and has been
designed to be accessible to participants from across the sector, building transformation leadership skills regardless of the individual’s position in their organisation’s hierarchy.
Service Design (3 days)
Service Design leans on concepts and practices in ‘Design Thinking’
to research and develop innovative ideas. The course offers organisations the process, methods, tools and techniques to translate innovation into a reality.

This course will provide systems thinking and root cause analysis skills to cater to complicated, complex and chaotic problems often found in digitalisation. Techniques covered will include data-hypothesis cycle for
complicated problems; analysis and change of systems behaviour; analysis and change of people behaviour; framework approaches to complicated, complex and chaotic problems and how these are manifested in techniques such as Sense-making, Lean Startup
and Design Thinking as well as in other techniques.
Capstone Project (4-6 Months)
Upon completion of the training courses, participants will embark on the capstone project, preferably within their own organisation. The capstone project is designed to enable participants to effectively apply the
knowledge and skills gained during the training courses.
The capstone project comprises three mandatory phases to be completed within 4-6 months:
Phase 1: Research Solutions towards Transformation Goals
