PROGRAMMES
Training and Workshops
Training and workshops for Asia’s next generation of global leaders — where Oxford-style coaching meets real-world simulations, accountability, and action.
Training and Workshops Using the Oxford Experience
The Oxford Experience is Sigma Mentoring’s signature executive programme — an immersive journey that transforms Asian executives into accountable, persuasive and action-oriented leaders. Inspired by the Oxford tutorial method, it blends rigorous debate with real-world practice so participants learn to think critically, communicate with impact, and lead decisively.
Why it matters
AI disruption, shifting supply chains, and geopolitical risk demand leaders who analyse complexity, challenge norms, and act with integrity. The Oxford Experience equips executives to navigate today’s realities — from rare-earth industrial dynamics to digital brand strategy — and convert insight into results.
How it works
1) Scene-setting & insight
We open with the latest facts, news and models that frame the topic: AI & digital transformation, brand strategy, global growth & risk, and rare-earth supply. Participants compare approaches, assess strengths/weaknesses and prepare to challenge.
2) Live simulations
Teams tackle real business challenges: crisis response, JV negotiations, supply-chain risk, and AI-driven change. Short intensives use rapid sprints; longer formats include 90-minute boardroom scenarios with head-to-head presentations.
3) Oxford-style coaching
Participants receive direct feedback from Sigma mentors, including, where possible, 1:1 debriefs that identify strengths, blind spots and a practical growth plan tied to business goals.
4) Accountability & outcomes
Reading primers, short presentations, and written tasks keep focus on doing. We integrate mini-tests where required and deliver multilingual, HR-aligned reporting for Asian corporates.
