In an exclusive interview with Mohit Sagar, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of OpenGov Asia, SMU Professor Emeritus of Finance (Practice) and Senior Advisor at the Business Families Institute Annie Koh, Steering Committee, Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition elaborated on how public-private partnerships in higher education create effective degree programmes. As the private sector has indicated to all institutions that they need future talent in data analytics, SMU recently launched a track in data analytics hosted in both their business school and computer and info systems school, so universities also benefit from the insights from the industry to stay relevant in its curricula. Prof Koh shared about the challenges she faced and how she strengthened the BFI and the ecosystem of entrepreneurial business families and stakeholders in their creation of sustainable impact by leveraging SMU’s core competence as a thought leader.
