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, Shenzhen & Guilin, 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 Shenzhen & Guilin in 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 next program location is Kuala Lumpur 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 final program location is Bangkok in Thailand where the learning will focus on sustainable development and talent management strategy. The program in Bangkok will include attending a conference on the final day.
Participants can be assured of an interesting and comprehensive learning journey that will include interactive lectures, group discussions and immersive visits that will combine theory with practice; as well as networking sessions that will seal connections between participants, speakers and other leaders for years to come.
