In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, financial firms are tasked with navigating complex challenges and making strategic decisions to ensure survival and prosperity. Amid these complexities, and given the difficulty of acquiring experienced talent, leadership development and decision-making training for existing leaders become crucial. Recognizing this need, AMI delivered a leadership development program in April 2023, specifically designed to enhance leaders’ decision-making skills. This program was attended by 10 C-level executives from Funding Societies, the leading SME digital finance platform in Southeast Asia.

In this leadership development training session, executive leaders from Funding Societies – hailing from various ASEAN countries – addressed their business challenges, harmonized their leadership strategies, and nurtured unified decision-making across regions. Despite meeting only quarterly, these leaders fully leveraged the TEAM FORGING simulation to collaborate on team decisions amidst diverse challenges.

Through the various challenges posed by TEAM FORGING, the participants’ ability to lead, synergize with international colleagues, and make informed decisions was rigorously tested. The outcome was a high-performing team where no functional ambiguities were left unaddressed. The training also highlighted the importance of cultivating resilience and a growth mindset, both of which emerged as key differentiators for standout leaders in the financial industry.

“AMI’s uniqueness is they replicate some real life decision points in a serious game without you necessarily knowing it. Hence you would not be faking the action during the game. They break down our actions to meaningful concepts which I still use on a daily basis. Now it makes it easier for us to realize our mistake and areas of improvements, and put them into practice. Personally, I am very impressed.”
