AIA Singapore has announced a collaboration with INSEAD to launch the AIA-INSEAD Executive Agency Leadership Programme, aimed at enhancing the leadership skills of high-potential leaders within AIA Singapore and AIA Financial Advisers. This initiative is part of AIA’s strategy to focus on long-term leadership development amidst the rapid technological changes and evolving customer expectations in the financial advisory sector.
The programme, co-designed with INSEAD, is tailored for AIA’s distribution leaders and focuses on strategic leadership, business planning, and sales productivity. Participants will receive an AIA-INSEAD co-branded certification upon completion, reinforcing AIA’s commitment to leadership excellence. Alvin Fu, Chief Distribution Officer at AIA Singapore, emphasised the importance of investing in long-term people development, stating, “Strong leaders are not built in a quarter — they are built over years.”
This initiative complements AIA’s existing leadership development efforts, including its mandatory IBF Level 1 certification and partnership with the Wealth Management Institute. By investing in leadership capabilities, AIA aims to build a sustainable distribution force that can navigate industry complexities and deliver enduring value to its customers and the industry.
The AIA-INSEAD Executive Agency Leadership Programme underscores AIA’s dedication to fostering a robust leadership pipeline, ensuring that its leaders are equipped to inspire teams and adapt to change, ultimately helping more people live healthier, longer, and better lives.
