Five of the Best: Leadership Development Providers
- HRM Asia Newsroom
What is the biggest difference between successful organisations and those that are just making up the numbers in this era of Industry 4.0? Certainly talent is a key factor, along with the ability to collaborate, innovate, and change as market conditions dictate. But it is leadership that is the glue that binds all of these aspects together.
Leadership, like any other skill, can be learned and developed – but it takes a specialist training programme to truly bring out the best of those high-potential staff ready to step up. Here are five of the best providers in Singapore and the Southeast Asia region:

Culture AND Strategy – The Two Levers for Lasting Change. With change happening faster and more frequently, organizations need to move fast, move together and navigate a changing environment and circumstances in order to exceed organizational results. To produce sustainable results, leaders can pull two mutually-enhancing levers namely STRATEGY (What they work on) and CULTURE (how they work).

INSIGHTS LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
+65 9276 4078
At Insights, we know that learning and development isn’t simply a check-box exercise. It’s not just a day out of the office. It’s more than team bonding or team building, or a one-off event to build morale.
It’s a journey that begins with increasing self-awareness, and that leads to real breakthroughs for your people, and to increased business success – and that’s why the Insights approach is different.
Insights is a global people development company that uses self-awareness as the foundation for our learning solutions. We’ll work with you to understand the root causes of your business issues by looking at the behaviours and preferences of your people. Are they performing as a team? Do they have untapped potential? Then, we partner to develop the solution that’s right for your business.
Our global reach means that we can support you locally, providing a personal service that takes local culture into account.
DDI
+65 6226 5335
At DDI, we help companies hire, promote, and develop exceptional leaders. Our approach is based on five decades of obsession with the science and practice of leadership. As pioneers in the field, we were the first to bring assessment centres to the workplace, the inventors of behavioural interviewing, and the creators of the world’s first scientifically-proven leadership development programme.
Millions of leaders later, we stand today as innovators, working alongside our clients around the world to make every moment of leadership count. The number one reason our clients say they love working with DDI is our people. They aren’t just consultants; they’re partners who become involved in your journey, and want to make sure your investment of time and resources deliver the results you need.
And we do it because we believe better leaders means a better future for us all.
