Professional Series

Our annual programme of curated public training and workshops, designed in response to topical subject matter addressing responsible and inclusive leadership. Delivered by either Community Business’s own consultants or in partnership with leading experts and consultants from different markets in Asia, the content is targeted towards addressing new outcomes in our research, new and emerging topics in the D&I space or approaches and tools we recommend from our partners.

Framed each year in consideration of the needs and interests of our members and clients, along with our insight into emerging trends, the Professional Series aims to offer an accessible mix of contemporary content, suitable for participants at different organisational levels and needs. In this year’s offering you will find content suited to more advanced D&I practitioners, novices in D&I and non-practitioners who want to build their personal competence or engage more directly in their organisation’s agenda.

We invite you to leverage the Professional Series as part of your ongoing personal development, or that of your team or colleagues. Please freely use the series to engage your stakeholders across the region - educating, upskilling and extending the impact of your strategy in Asia. The Professional Series offers an opportunity to:

increase learning and insights on a diverse range of leading-edge topics,
extend access to a broad range of stakeholders across the region
embed understanding of responsible and inclusive leadership more deeply in any organisation and
provide access to trainers, tools and approaches that may suit your future internal deployment needs
