A Game Changer

FIDE FORUM recognises that the effectiveness of a board in discharging its fiduciary duty depends significantly on the experience, expertise, knowledge and skills and leadership of its directors, both individually and collectively. Thus, Directors Register, a Register of board talent, is a strategic initiative to promote board diversity and enhance governance by providing a pool of suitably qualified candidates for directorship appointments to boards of financial institutions licensed by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).   

The Directors Register is a collaborative effort of FIDE FORUM, Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) and BNM. It is a game changing initiative which provides a new source of board talent for financial services industry.

 

Directors Register Enhances Overall Board Composition

The Register strategically enhances the overall board composition through various perspectives - board diversity, board succession planning, optimal board size and the need for comprehensive board nomination processes.
 

FIDE FORUM’s
Board Leadership Framework
is customised to meet the needs 
of boards of licensed financial institutions 
in Malaysia

 

FIDE FORUM’S Board Leadership Framework

In ensuring quality of board talent, a Board Leadership Profile is developed and set against ‘best in class’ standards 
tailored to the needs of boards of Licensed Financial Institutions (LFIs) in the Malaysian context. The Profile provides 
LFIs with a greater understanding of their candidates’ key strengths in experiences, competencies, traits and drivers 
through a comprehensive report. 

This Framework is based on ‘Four Dimensions of Leadership and Talent’, a state-of-the-art tool for identifying talent 
developed by Korn Ferry, an international organisational and people advisory firm.

FIDE FORUM has incorporated the art and science of board leadership selection in its processes.
