2 The Asset Series The Indian economy continues to be on a growth path, taking in its stride the infrastructural hurdles and global economic challenges of the recent past. This growth momentum provides exciting challenges and opportunities for senior executives to lead, mould and evolve business practices in their respective organizations. However, in parallel, there is the continuing challenge of widespread skills gap, leadership expertise and talent shortages in various specialized areas. This can be addressed through specialized knowledge transfer, development of expertise and benefit of experience from practitioners with widespread exposure to industries and live business situations. KPMG in India is, therefore, offering specialized learning and development programs as part of The Asset Series. Some of these programs are targeted at developing specialized skills that will lead to an Asset certification. These programs are to be conducted by KPMG specialists using quality tools, techniques, methodologies through a combination of conceptual inputs, presentations, discussions, individual and group exercises, case studies, simulations, role-plays and experience sharing that will be followed by evaluation of acquired skills.
