Congratulations to our inaugural batch of OCBC SOAR participants on their graduation from OCBC SOAR EDP 2024! Our 6-month leadership journey with the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) took off in Singapore in June (https://lnkd.in/gtKErvSg), making its way to Hong Kong and Shenzhen in September (https://lnkd.in/gsX8vcKZ), before landing a touchdown in Singapore with its final module in November. The capstone 1.5-week module kicked off with the IMD flagship Orchestrating Winning Performance conference which allowed participants to customise their own learning journey specific to their roles. They were also immersed in learning sessions taught by esteemed and veteran professors who enhanced their leadership perspectives across the five dimensions of strategy, execution, stakeholders and people. On top of that, the team got to learn from special guest speakers and expand their horizons on company immersions where they glimpsed first-hand the applications of business concepts in different industries. A key highlight in Module 3 was the highly anticipated final presentation of their micro-experiments to the Group Chairman, Group CEO, and OCBC Management Committee Members. Over the course of their 6-month journey, each group plunged into a series of micro-experiments, leaning into a productive failure mindset to fail fast and learn fast, as they focused on identifying, assessing, and solving for a pain point or opportunity to help OCBC achieve its strategic objectives. The steep learning curve sharpened their critical thinking, stretched their agility, and reframed their thought patterns and mindsets to tackle novel and ambiguous challenges beyond their usual day-to-day work to prepare for the future. Ultimately, the presentation finale was a culmination of their collaborative efforts. Met with valuable insights from the management team, participants gained additional perspectives on their micro-experiment topics. Most pertinently, participants emerged from their journey with deepened connections and a renewed sense of leadership with wings broad enough to uplift, nurture and inspire those around them to do what best serves the bank in building the future we want. #OCBCSOAR2024 #OpportunityStartsHere
