The ICDM Pulse: ICDM’s Exciting Year Ahead
As we move further into the new year, I am filled with optimism and excitement for what lies ahead for ICDM. The past year has laid a strong foundation, and we are now poised to embark on several impactful initiatives that will further strengthen our commitment to excellence in corporate governance.
I am happy to announce the MOU between ICDM and BeLuxCham Malaysia on the 9th of January 2025. This collaboration will foster valuable cross-border knowledge sharing and create new opportunities for our members. Central to the MOU is the exchange of corporate membership and the special discount & privileges extended to members of both parties to attend programmes and events.
To advance thought leadership in corporate governance, we are actively developing several key research reports. The LIP Impact Report, with its insightful analysis, will provide valuable insights into how the Mandatory Accreditation Programme Part II: Leading for Impact (LIP) programme has provided directors with the foundation to address sustainability risks and opportunities effectively and have better oversight over their companies’ material sustainability matters. The upcoming Gold Medal Boards report will showcase best practices in board governance, setting a high standard for excellence. We encourage you to stay tuned for the release of these impactful reports.
Looking ahead to 2025, we will continue forging strategic partnerships with key stakeholders. Collaborations with MSWG and IICM, along with partnerships with O’Psych, the Stewardarship Asia Centre and Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KLSICCI), will enable us to expand our reach and deepen our impact on the corporate landscape.
I am also proud to highlight our commitment to excellence through ICDM’s comprehensive Public Programmes, which are globally benchmarked and designed to help directors lead confidently in today’s fast-evolving business landscape.

Complementing this, our Board and Directors Effectiveness Evaluation (BDEE) empowers boards to achieve peak performance and governance excellence. Additionally, our Bespoke programmes are flexible, relevant, and pragmatic, tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. These initiatives ensure your directors are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of modern governance.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, I want to extend my warmest wishes to those celebrating. May the Year of the Snake bring you prosperity, good health, and happiness. For those travelling during this festive season, please travel safely and have a joyous reunion with your loved ones.
I am confident that this new year will be a year of bountiful growth, collaboration, and significant achievements for ICDM. Together, we will continue to champion the highest standards of corporate governance and contribute to a more sustainable and responsible business environment.
