GRC Consulting Services Sdn Bhd (GRCCS) and Informed Solutions has announced a strategic partnership to offer world-class Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills development in Malaysia and throughout ASEAN, through a new “GRCCS-Informed Solutions Development Academy”, to advance progress towards Malaysia’s and the region’s resilience and sustainability development goals.
Organisational Resilience and Environmental Sustainability and Governance is increasingly a business priority. In the face of more frequent events that severely disrupt and damage our environment, ecologies, economies, and communities, businesses are increasingly adopting a proactive approach to risk mitigation, compliance, governance, and the development of dynamic, robust digital operating systems that are accelerating organisational resilience and sustainable business growth, whilst helping protect the environments within which they operate.
The new ‘Development Academy’ platform announced today will meet this agenda through delivering masterclasses, workshops and other resources that combine GRCCS’ expertise in governance, risk, and compliance consultancy with Informed Solutions’ Digital Transformation and AI development capability, to help public and private sector organisations in Malaysia, and throughout ASEAN, succeed in their organisational resilience and sustainability journeys, by empowering them to become data and AI ready. This will enable the safe, ethical, secure and effective adoption of advanced data science-led approaches and technologies across the country and the wider region.
The new GRCCS-Informed Solutions Development Academy is underpinned by Informed Solutions’ InformedACADEMY™. InformedACADEMY™ is a world-class, ISO9001 certified, talent and development framework that provides comprehensive development programmes for digital and business leaders from globally recognised public and private sector brands in the UK and Australia. InformedACADEMY™ has been supporting these organisations to build the skills, capability, and insights they need to be successful in their roles, stay ahead in a rapidly changing digital world and, accelerate and de-risk their resilience and sustainability journeys for their organisations.
Commenting on the announcement, GRCCS’ Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Affeiz Abdul Razak said: “We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with the UK’s Informed Solutions at GRCCS’ International Conference & Exhibition 2024. Informed Solutions is a multi-Queen’s Award-winning provider of data and AI-powered platforms and services that have been successfully developed to support large-scale transformation of services, especially in the UK. We will be able to bring that successful digital transformation experience and track record to projects in Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
“The GRCCS-Informed Solutions Development Academy will empower public and private sector organisations in Malaysia and ASEAN with essential Digital Transformation and AI skills, advancing their resilience and sustainability goals. Combining our expertise in Governance, Risk and Compliance, and Resilience with Informed Solutions’ technological capabilities, this academy will provide masterclasses and workshops to foster data and AI readiness.”
Informed Solutions’ Chairman, Dr. John Alderson added: “This partnership is an exciting opportunity to help Malaysia realise its ambition to be more resilient and sustainable through the adoption of advance digital operating models. Our new ‘Development Academy’ curricula combine both our unique expertise to crystalise the data-led approaches, technology adoption and data-readiness requirements for business, public sector and digital leaders to make good on those ambitions. And we very much look forward to continuing our enduring relationship with GRCCS to make this ambition a reality here in Malaysia and throughout ASEAN.”
