Management Support
Each country Executive Committee needs to understand the role of the YEP in relation to the overall succession planning and talent development strategy. The aim is to give selected young people a solid foundation which when followed by years of suitable experience delivers the senior industrial managers of the future. The country Industrial directors need to appreciate that, through the YEP, we are creating an Asian pool of technical talent that can be deployed across Asia to meet the regions business expansion needs. The budget for this program needs to be clearly defined for each year by each industrial plant: salaries; costs of being assigned away from the base plant during module 4.
