A year-long program that recognises excellence and creates learning opportunities. It brings together leading voices from HR, Technology, and Business to share what works, test new ideas together, and shape the future of our region.
Across our region, business leaders are achieving results at scale and setting new standards for success. As markets transform and work evolves, Asia's businesses are moving beyond just being fast. This means rethinking leadership, upgrading skills, and reshaping company culture to navigate an uncertain tomorrow.
By 2027, one in four jobs will be different from those we have today. And six out of ten employees will need to learn new skills (World Economic Forum). The real opportunity lies in how we turn these changes into results by connecting our purpose, our people, and our performance.
For Southeast Asian leaders, the way forward is to focus on building organisations where your strategy is lived every single day through empowered people, flexible systems, and cultures that become stronger through change.
Futurists are Asia’s next-generation CXOs - CEOs, CTOs, CHROs, CFO, and transformation leaders driving the business, tech, and people agenda in their organizations. They don’t wait for the future to arrive, they build it.
They are strategic thinkers with a builder’s mindset, combining ambition with empathy, and experimentation with discipline. Futurists thrive at the intersection of innovation and execution, turning disruption into momentum.
They turn bold strategies into outcomes, scaling impact across people, processes, and platforms.
They create safe spaces for innovation, where ideas are tested, refined, and scaled with agility.
They integrate human potential with digital capabilities, ensuring tech empowers, not replaces, talent.
They see uncertainty as an opportunity to redesign systems, strengthen culture, and redefine success.
AI is reshaping entire job categories. Business models that worked last year are obsolete today. The workforce is multigenerational, distributed, and demanding more than just a paycheck; they want purpose, growth, and flexibility.
Incremental improvement isn't enough when the ground beneath us is shifting. This moment demands courageous leadership: leaders who experiment without permission, who build ecosystems instead of silos, and who see uncertainty not as a threat but as fertile ground for reinvention.
The Futurists exists for those who've already chosen to lead. This is your platform to connect with peers who are equally committed to building the future, share what's working (and what isn't), and elevate the innovations emerging from our region onto the global stage.
Because the future of work isn't being written in Silicon Valley alone, it's being built right here, by leaders like you.
Using emerging tech (AI, analytics, platforms) to reshape work, unlock productivity, and create competitive advantage at scale.
Initiatives that failed fast or won big, but drove learning and reinvention. Because innovation isn't about perfection, it's about progress.
Leading through ambiguity, generational shifts, and hybrid futures, where clarity is rare but conviction is essential.
Reinventing culture, skilling, and DEI in meaningful, scalable ways that drive both engagement and business outcomes.
Building long-term impact with purpose-led strategies that balance profit with environmental and social responsibility.
This isn't just another leadership program. It's a year-long journey designed to
elevate your impact, expand your network, and position you at the forefront of Asia's
transformation story.
