Practices For Hiring Smart: Competency-Based Interview & Selection (27-28 October 2025) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

OVERVIEW

What are the CONSEQUENCES of Poor Hiring?


Harvard Business School has identified that the cost of poor selection at 3 times annual salary!


The true cost of hiring the wrong person is a much-debated subject, with the sky being the limit if irreparable damage is  caused to a team, department or even an entire organization. Aside from the immediate actual  cost of recruiting, letting go, and then recruiting again, a ‘bad hire’ can affect internal morale, production and sales, and profits . This overall cost can often be multiplied , depending on the level of seniority of the individual concerned. 


Capturing complete competency-based data is crucial to making accurate hiring decisions. Recruiters need  to prepare Competency Interview Questions in a structured approach, with the same set of questions  asked of each candidate in the same order and same way regardless in digital or traditional interviews. 


Our Immersive Training will teach you how to select the RIGHT talent, create CBI questions,  conduct Effective Interview Sessions, Data Evaluation, Data Integration and How to Work with Hiring Managers for  hiring success. You will also learn how to prepare a set of interview questions to identify the suitability of candidates:


  • Internal Promotion vs. New Candidate Recruitment
  • Experienced Candidates vs. Fresh Graduates

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Be Among the First in Malaysia to Make AI Your Real Workplace Assistant You’re Already Using AI. But Are You Still Doing Most of the Work? You ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or Claude a question. You get an answer. You edit it. You check it. Then tomorrow, you start all over again. Meanwhile, the pressure keeps building more risks to assess, more audit work to document, more reports to produce, more data to analyse and less time to get everything done. If that sounds familiar, simply learning more prompts is NOT the answer. The next leap is learning how to turn GenAI into a REUSABLE PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW and ultimately, your own AI assistant. FROM “ASK AI” TO “MAKE AI WORK FOR ME” AI-Augmented Risk Management and Internal Audit is an advanced, highly interactive two-day programme designed for professionals who are ready to move beyond basic prompting. Participants will learn how to challenge AI instead of blindly trusting it examining assumptions, exploring alternative scenarios, recognising cognitive bias and applying selected concepts from the DECODA Decision Clarity Architecture (DCA) before accepting AI recommendations. Participants will discover how to transform repetitive work into reusable AI workflows and put GenAI to work across risk identification, risk assessment, risk registers, control recommendations, audit planning, workpapers, executive reporting and fraud risk management. TWO DAYS. ONE BIG SHIFT. By the end of the programme, the goal is no longer: “How do I prompt AI better?” It becomes: “How do I build AI into the way I work without giving up my professional judgement?” The programme culminates in an integrated workplace challenge where participants can design, build and refine their own AI assistant for a recurring professional task from risk and audit reporting to risk registers, audit planning, vendor risk, fraud review or management reporting. AI can generate an impressive-looking analysis in seconds. But would you sign off on it? That is where this programme becomes different. You will also tackle the uncomfortable questions professionals cannot afford to ignore: hallucinations, Validation, confidentiality, data protection, explainability, documentation and AI governance . This is not about replacing the risk manager or internal auditor. It is about creating an AI-augmented professional who can work faster, think critically and make better-informed decisions. And you won’t just watch the trainer do it. You will build it, test it and challenge it yourself. Move beyond prompting. Build reusable AI workflows. Create an AI assistant around the work you actually do. Learn how to harness AI Tools to work faster and smarter while keeping professional judgement firmly in your hands. Do not just chat with AI. Make AI work for you.
