NUBS Malaysia Executive Education conducted a six-day business module for the 21st BMCC-JPA Management Development Programme, a collaborative management development programme between the Malaysian Public Services Department (Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam - JPA) and the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (BMCC). This is a bi-yearly programme undertaken by the BMCC with the aim providing senior government officers opportunity to gain hands-on experience and exposure to the dynamics of modern-day business management systems via training and working with British organisations both in Malaysia and in their parent companies in the United Kingdom.

The training, which took place on 5-10 April 2015, saw NUBS Malaysia academicians Dr Eunice Lim, Ms Vanitha Ponnusamy, Ms Anita Chakrabarty, Dr Mohan Avvari and Dr Maniam Kaliannan facilitating full-day highly interactive sessions on strategic mindsets and empowerment, mentoring, customer experience for service delivery, open innovation, and sustainability and leadership for transformation, respectively.

The week's sessions featured a panel discussion entitled 'Transforming Organisation - Experience and Reflection'. Moderated by Professor Christine Ennew, CEO/Provost of The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, the panelists included Azman Hisham Che Doi, CEO of the Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC), Jitinder Magoon, Chief Marketing and Strategic Advisor of Zecon Medicare Sdn Bhd, Vasu Subrahmanyam, a consultant in Organisation and Community Development, and Wouter van der Weijden, Partner at &Samhoud.

This was the third training programme conducted by NUBS Malaysia Executive Education for the BMCC-JPA Management Development Programme, with past sessions having been convened in 2011 and 2013.
