This is an exclusive program that is specially designed for Chief Executive Officers and other busy C-Suite executives who want to garner market insights that will help them straddle the challenges of managing people amidst an increasingly tighter regulatory environment, new technologies, pressing sustainability issues and a rapidly-changing geopolitical landscape.
The program has been curated bearing in mind the uniqueness of each of the selected locations – Kuala Lumpur, Hangzhou, and Bangkok. Each city offers a different yet unique learning opportunity grounded within its rich historical and cultural heritage, and stage of economic development.
Recognizing the busy schedules of senior executives, this program offers participants the choice of attending the program in one or two countries of their choice, or alternatively, in all three program locations.
The program begins in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where the Asia School of Business – a leading educational institution backed by Bank Negara Malaysia (Central Bank of Malaysia) and established in collaboration with MIT Sloan – is located. An impressive line-up of speakers will combine both academic rigor with practitioner experience to help participants navigate the changing geopolitical landscape, develop strong governance, implement winning strategies, capitalize on Islamic Finance, and decipher artificial intelligence as a competitive edge.
The next program location is Hangzhou, China where the focus will be on sustainability and technology: whether in the context of cybersecurity, healthcare, manufacturing and environmental protection. Learning will be through multiple immersive visits, talks and moderated panel discussions.
The final program location is Bangkok, Thailand where the learning will focus on sustainable development and talent management strategy.
