We are an independent pan-Asian think tank with offices in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Through our non-traditional approach to executive education and advisory services, we advance a deeper understanding of the shift of influence from the West to Asia, the dynamic relationship between business, society, and the state, and the reshaping of the rules of global capitalism.
Our proprietary curriculum and experiential learning methodology have been developed over 18 years, working with 2,000+ alumni in 80 countries. The executive education programmes cultivate the leadership mindsets and behaviours that are crucial to navigating and redesigning society in the 21st century. The programmes result in publicly accessible business models and policy recommendations that have positive and impactful social/environmental outcomes.
Advisory projects may comprise sustainability advisory, strategy and policy development, and stakeholder engagement.
