To better understand succession planning in an Asian context, Spencer Stuart brought together board directors, CEOs and other senior executives in Singapore for a panel discussion featuring Hsieh Tsun-yan, an independent director of Sony Corporation, Bharti Airtel and Manulife Financial; and Koh Boon Hwee, chairman of Yeo Hiap Seng and a board director of Agilent Technologies.

Among the topics they discussed were succession planning strategies, the different succession dynamics in family-owned and government-controlled companies, the characteristics Asian boards look for in CEO candidates, and the extent to which practices from the West can be adapted to Asia.
