Best Corporate – Training Provider (Gold)

For Organisational Development Concepts (ODC), training has never been about ticking boxes or running one-off workshops. It is about transformation—developing people who think critically, communicate effectively, and lead responsibly. This purpose-driven philosophy has earned ODC the Best Corporate – Training Provider (Gold) award at the Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, recognising its lasting impact on people and performance.

“Corporate training, when done well, does more than impart knowledge—it builds competence, confidence, and character,” said Anthony Ho, Founder and General Manager of ODC. “At ODC, we see training not as a classroom event, but as a catalyst for transformation. Every session is designed to connect learning with the realities of work, and to help people perform not just better, but more purposefully.”

That belief defines ODC’s approach to corporate learning—practical, reflective, and deeply human. The organisation’s programmes go beyond skill-building, empowering participants to grasp the underlying purpose and meaning behind their work. “We believe corporate training should drive competency development, but competency alone is not enough,” Ho explained. “Real capability emerges when people understand the why behind what they do, and when learning becomes anchored in experience and reflection.”

ODC’s training philosophy is rooted in experiential learning methodologies, engaging participants through discussions, case studies, simulations, and guided reflection. Every programme is designed to make learning both practical and personal—encouraging participants to explore, experiment, and apply insights directly to their work.

The organisation’s broad suite of offerings covers business management, leadership development, communication, and interpersonal effectiveness. Its Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ)-certified courses strengthen foundational and industry-recognised competencies, while customised in-house programmes are tailored to each client’s unique culture and aspirations. From first-time managers to seasoned leaders, ODC’s programmes empower individuals to perform with confidence and clarity of purpose.

Behind every ODC programme is a team of facilitators who embody the organisation’s values. “What truly differentiates ODC is the quality of our facilitators,” said Ho. “Our trainers are not only subject matter experts; they are practitioners who bring years of real-world experience into the learning space. They know how to make concepts come alive, how to draw out insights from participants, and how to create an environment of psychological safety where people feel empowered to explore and experiment.”

And as organisations expand across Asia, ODC supports them with regional training rollouts through a network of experienced trainers and consultants. Its turnkey approach—encompassing curriculum, design, facilitation, and post-training reinforcement—ensures a consistent, high-quality learning experience that aligns with corporate goals while remaining sensitive to local context.

“At its core,” Ho reflected, “ODC’s mission in corporate training is to help organisations develop people who think critically, communicate effectively, and lead responsibly. When learning becomes embedded in culture, training stops being an event—it becomes a way of life.”

Ultimately, ODC’s success lies in its belief that learning transforms not only what people do but also who they become. As Ho puts it, “That is the essence of what we do at ODC: we don’t just train people to do better work; we help them become better versions of themselves—for their teams, their organisations, and their future.”
