SMU, PwC, and TLA launch initiative to train logistics professionals in data analytics

The programme will select and train 60 professionals each year.

SMU Academy, PwC Singapore, and The Logistics Academy (TLA) launched the Executive Certificate in Successful Data Transformation for the Logistics Sector programme.

The programme aims to equip 60 logistics professionals each year with essential data analytics skills, governance, and protection to drive innovation in the logistics sector.

The programme seeks to address the transformational challenges faced by Singapore’s logistics sector due to disruptions brought by Industry 4.0 technologies such as AI, robotics, automation, and blockchain.

The programme will offer participants over five modules on key areas, including basic critical data elements, data governance concepts, the challenges, trends, and business benefits that underscore the need for good data quality, the importance of data privacy, basic data classification, and data protection concepts.

Participants can tap on SkillsFuture credits to offset the programme fees, while employers will receive salary support from the WSG CCP scheme for eligible participants.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
