From the Desk of the CEO...

Greetings from MIM!

As we always believe in giving the best to our members and business associates, in the month of August we present to you The Futurist Forum featuring John Naisbitt, the world’s most sought after speaker on the future and Tun Mahathir Mohamad as the guest of honour speaker. The forum will be held on 26 August 2008 at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. To keep the momentum going we bring you Vistage CEO Summit themed “Innovate or Perish” scheduled on 9 September 2008 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. MIM members are entitled to a special rate for both events.

MIM, being the forefront in providing quality management programmes, has introduced two new programmes under the Human Capital Management banner, the Successful Interview Technique for Managers & HR for Non-HR Managers which will commence on  20-21 August and  26-27 August 2008 respectively.

Realising the importance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to the Malaysian economy, MIM in collaboration with PSMB have developed the MIM-PSMB SME CEOs / Owners Managership & Mangers Development Programmes. These programmes aims to assist CEOs and owners of SMEs to further enhance their managerial skills in their quest to expand their businesses and to adapt quickly to constantly changing business environment and to remain competitive. Check out the respective programmes for more details.

On the SMIDEC Skill Upgrading Programmes for SMEs, another 14 MIM Management Leadership programmes have been approved by SMIDEC. Now in total there are 29 programmes. Eligible SMEs only need to pay 20% of the training fees to send your employees for the training programmes. If you are a recipient of SMIDEC business grant,
100% training grant will be given for attending Finance for Non-Finance Managers programme. * Terms and Conditions apply.

Last but not least, my sincere appreciation to all members and business associates for your continuous support and encouragement towards MIM and we hope to provide the best training programmes and activities throughout the year.
