Our Learning Approach

01
Trainer-Led

This is an In-person or virtual facilitated sessions, led by ICDM faculty members or facilitators. The format objective is to provide a conducive learning environment in a close working and provides socialising opportunity with peers and high-quality learning materials for senior leadership.

02
Case Studies & Discussion

Depending on the programme and module, one week before the facilitated session, pre-reading time is provided for participants to review the materials and case studies. Selected sessions will provide at least one breakout discussion, based on the pre-reading materials.

03
Polling, Q&A

Participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions and share thoughts or opinions and views. Understanding the programme dynamics and individual’s unique contribution – a polling platform allows for the session to discuss participants’ feedback for practical solutions and guidance.

04
Role Play, Simulation

These specially designed programmes feature role-play and simulation exercises for participants, allowing them to experience the reality in the boardroom and explore ways to manage various scenarios effectively.

05
Panel Discussion

In response to new requirements, standards, frameworks, and regulations requirements for business – a panel discussion format can potentially draw out diverse insights from each speaker, provide new perspectives and encourage exchanges amongst panellists, as well as the audience. This format is best suited for commentary talks, advisory dialogues and specialised topics conferences.

06
Brainstorming

We provide space for participants to share-discuss-identify the best approach to specific issues. The format also allows greater interaction between board and management to productively engage and work towards a common and aligned goal, especially in the areas of strategy & growth.

Mentoring & Coaching

Our experiential learning approach is further supported with group forums, targeted coaching and mentoring to provide more meaningful exchanges of thoughts, experience, tips, guidance, ideas and aspirations among the directors.

Chartered Director

The long-term plan of ICDM Director Development Pathway is to offer a Chartered Director qualification as the gold standard that represents world class professinalism and internationally recognised credentials.

The Chartered Director qualification will bring the professional standards to its highest level by looking into both technical competencies and cultural aspects.
