Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute

ASLI, or Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute, is a leading Malaysian-based independent, non-partisan, and not-for-profit leadership development think tank. Founded in 1993, ASLI has been a definitive voice of strategy and leadership, having provided trusted insights to governments, businesses, and diplomatic communities throughout Asia. Owned and governed by the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, a leading education and research-focused philanthropic organisation in Malaysia, ASLI’s mission is to empower leaders and advance societies throughout Asia and beyond. ASLI does this by promoting thought-provoking dialogues among government, businesses, and civil society; enhancing leadership development and capacity; conducting translational research and engagement; as well as providing strategic consultation to stakeholders. ASLI leverages its influential network in the wider Asia Pacific region to connect strategic partners, exchange best practices, and facilitate business opportunities. ASLI’s efforts have garnered participation from Heads of States, Prime Ministers, Ministers, captains of industry, prominent strategic thinkers, corporate CEOs, ambassadors, academia, and emerging young leaders. Moving ahead in this post-COVID-19 era and as part of its strategic priorities, ASLI aims to embrace new ideas and innovations, including promoting leadership and ESG principles, harnessing artificial intelligence and technology, embracing lifelong learning and skills education, as well as strengthening regional dialogue in order to build agility and resilience within the communities it serves. As ASLI celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2023, our core purpose remains, namely empowering leaders and advancing societies.
