The MSIG Group delivered the 2025 GMP Next Program, a core component of the Group's renewed global leadership development framework. Positioned directly below GMP, the program is designed for next-generation leaders with the potential to assume future country management and executive roles within MSIG entities. This year's GMP Next marked the first iteration under the integrated leadership structure, following the consolidation of the former GLP, GEP, and GMP programs. The aim is to strengthen leadership capability across all management layers and deepen alignment of leadership principles globally. The program consisted of a four-day in-person training held in Tokyo, bringing together participants from across the MSIG network. The curriculum centered on three key pillars: (1) strengthening understanding of MSIG's history, values, and global business direction; (2) enhancing leadership and management capabilities through interactive, multinational dialogue; (3) building cross-border networks among emerging leaders across entities. Sessions included executive lectures, facilitated leadership workshops, and peer learning discussions tailored to the needs of leaders operating closer to the front lines of their respective markets. Participants explored topics such as authentic leadership, cross-cultural communication, conflict management, and MSIG's strategic priorities. An evening welcome reception featuring a Kendo demonstration provided an opportunity for cultural immersion and informal networking, contributing to stronger engagement among participants from day one. GMP Next concluded with reflective presentations in which participants articulated their leadership aspirations and potential contributions to the MSIG Group's future. Feedback highlighted the value of connecting with peers facing similar challenges across markets, as well as gaining clarity on MSIG's expectations for its next generation of leaders. GMP Next will continue to play an essential role in developing globally capable talent who are prepared to lead MSIG's growth in the years ahead. #msad #msig #insurance #management #leadership
