SRW&Co. Client Story
SRW&Co.
ASEAN Global Leadership Program
Management consulting firm SRW&Co. is a leading provider of people
management and development solutions in the ASEAN region. For over 10 years,
they have partnered with leading universities on the ASEAN Global Leadership Program which was designed as a way for C-Suite and
Board level members of the ASEAN region to strengthen their intellectual tools in
four key areas: globalization, innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Program Objectives
The AGLP is a specialized program for leaders from both the public and private
sector in the ASEAN region. While addressing specific concerns of the participants
and highlighting opportunities with the ASEAN Economic Community, the
program also aims to provide networking opportunities as part of a commitment to
professional advancement and growth. The goal of the program is for participants
to bring the skills they acquire back to their organizations, becoming more
effective and innovative leaders. Overall, the intention of the program was to provide leaders with a global perspective on business.
NYU Stern and the ASEAN Region
“There is a strong commitment from the Stern leadership team to the ASEAN
region,” said Daniel Wong, Chairman and Partner of SRW&Co. Singling out the
renowned faculty, Wong was impressed by the shared engagement to build a long
term strategic partnership. The collaboration, he says, “will make a significant contribution to the development of leaders in the region.”
Vice Dean of Executive Education, Eitan Zemel, echoed these comments, stating that “NYU Stern Executive Education is committed to the belief that a global approach to education is integral for today's business leaders."

Program Highlight
Coming from the financial sector, the technology industry is foreign to many of the
participants. But it was for that reason that a visit to web and mobile application
company Pinterest was a rousing success. “The insights they received have a
profound impact in terms of getting a better appreciation of the need to humanize
technology for a more purposeful mission in business and life,” said Wong. They
were especially impressed by hearing the transformational journey of the company
through direct and personal testimonials.
