Background

Iclif was created and funded by Bank Negara Malaysia (The Central Bank of Malaysia) in 2003 [1] [2] as an independent non-profit organisation. In 2010, It received a significant funding boost from Bank Negara to RM800mil. [3] Iclif's goal is to provide practical and relevant executive development and advisory services in Malaysia and globally across industry and government sectors.[ citation needed ] In 2017, it was reportedly the only organisation in the region that focused both on leadership and corporate governance. [4] [ additional citation(s) needed ]

Iclif has international faculty members who come from well regarded academic institutions and Fortune 500 companies. [5] [6] They are mostly based in Asia and conduct applied research in the Asian world.[ citation needed ]

Originally, Iclif was focused on the financial services industry in Malaysia. [7] As national and global economies became more connected, Iclif has since expanded into additional economic sectors. [8]

In 2020, The Iclif Leadership and Governance Centre merged with the Asia School of Business, forming the ASB Iclif Executive Education Center (Iclif). The mission of Iclif is to provide a broader set of business education offerings to the region and beyond, offered through in-person and online modes. [9]

Programs

Iclif promotes leadership development and corporate governance, although it has evolved beyond its initial charter to conduct programs for Malaysian financial institutions only. It now conducts programs for all corporations in Malaysia and neighboring countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and the Middle East. [10] It also offers custom-built programs to help organizations close knowledge gaps.

Iclif publishes Asia-related research used to develop targeted programs and advisory services. Some notable research efforts include interviews with executives to explore leadership and motivation challenges, employee interviews across the Asia-Pacific region to study expectations of leaders and their effectiveness, studies of leadership energy, [11] and employee engagement research.[ citation needed ]

The organization also hosts leadership summits and conferences in Asia.[ citation needed ]
