London School of Business and Finance Singapore and the Polaris Programme
The London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) Singapore has always recognised that its people are its greatest asset.
For LSBF, leadership is not defined by position, it is about growth, adaptability and readiness for the future.
In April 2025, LSBF partnered with Ingeus Singapore to deliver the Polaris programme and support its leadership development journey.
“In HR, we often speak about creating structures and systems – but behind every framework is a person with potential. Polaris, with Ingeus’ support, has helped us bring that potential to life.”
– Catherine Ong, Senior Manager, HR LSBF Singapore
Challenge
LSBF’s employees were at various stages of their leadership journey, ranging from emerging talent and first-time managers to Heads of Departments and Directors.
The organisation sought a structured, impactful programme that could:
- Provide an objective view of strengths and development areas beyond internal appraisals
- Support succession planning by identifying high-potential talent early
- Build resilience and agility in management
- Align development initiatives with HR frameworks and career pathways
Approach
Ingeus was able to deliver a solution tailored to the organisations people, culture and goals.
The Polaris programmes offered a combination of structure, depth and relevance.
Through professional coaching by Ingeus accredited coaches and external evaluations, LSBF leaders gained:
- Clear insights into their current capabilities and growth opportunities
- Personalised development plans tailored to real-world leadership challenges
- Tools to strength resilience, agility and decision-making
Learning was delivered via the Ingeus microlearning platform that provides bit-sized, interactive modules accessible anytime, anywhere, that enabled leaders to engage with learning in a flexible way and apply insights directly to their role.
Outcomes
Since joining Polaris, LSBF employees across all levels have demonstrated:
- Greater clarity, confidence and capability in their leadership roles
- Stronger aligning with succession planning and HR frameworks
- Enhanced resilience and adaptability in an evolving educational landscape
By partnering with Ingeus to deliver the Polaris programme, LSBF has unlocked the potential of its leaders and is nurturing a new generation of talent.
The programmes have strengthened leadership capabilities, supported succession planning and reinforced the organisations commitment to developing its people from within.
