Initiatives and Highlights
Business Transformation Program
In partnership with the Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration, Chulalongkorn University, the Company designed the Business Transformation Program to develop high-potential leaders who can drive organizational change. The program has been run continuously and is now in its fourth class, with 36 executives participating in each class.
The program strengthens leadership capabilities and essential business skills through hands-on learning. Key topics include strategic planning and the practical use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in business operations. It also combines classroom-based training with study visits to leading global companies. Throughout the program, participants receive ongoing coaching from senior executives and are assessed through a 360-degree evaluation system. Projects that meet the evaluation requirements are approved for further implementation in real business operations.
Entrepreneurship Programs
A leadership development program based on the entrepreneurial mindset concept is implemented to prepare employees for development and to systematically strengthen managerial skills. Under this program, a Project Sponsor is assigned to provide advice and suggestions, to guide rather than direct, while developing employees by providing opportunities to demonstrate their potential and offering support without imposing conceptual or operational boundaries. The Sponsor is also responsible for monitoring progress, dedicating time, engaging deeply in the work process, and learning together with the team, together with Coaching or Mentorship, as well as transferring knowledge, expertise, and experience from executives and subject matter experts.
Reverse Mentoring Program
A strategic talent development program is implemented to provide high-potential university students from leading universities to serve as mentors to senior executives. Through this initiative, students share fresh perspectives, digital knowledge, emerging technologies, and innovative ideas, helping to bridge the digital gap and strengthen executives' understanding of future business trends.
The program is delivered through mentoring, coaching, and co-creation, fostering intergenerational learning between senior executives and university students. This collaborative learning approach enhances future skills, digital capabilities, and innovation competencies while supporting leaders and the organization in adapting effectively to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
CPF University Alumni Network
A strategic initiative that fosters long-term partnerships with leading universities through CPF's alumni network, connecting high-potential students with real-world career opportunities. The program promotes learning through mentoring, coaching, and experience sharing by CPF employees, helping students gain deeper insights into the business, industry trends, and future career pathways. It plays a key role in developing a future talent pipeline, particularly in STEM-related fields, enabling CPF to attract high-quality talent, build a future-ready workforce, and strengthen the Company's long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth.
