Welcome and Introduction to the Programme
Introduction to the programme structure and processes followed by an Icebreaker session, whereby participants’ self- reflect on their challenges, learning objectives and visions for the future through the Shield exercise.
DISRUPTION IN THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
Morning Session : A Strategic View of Disruption

While innovation is nothing new, its pace, scale, and impact have accelerated to unprecedented levels. Sometimes, innovation enhances the value of existing products and services. At other times, it renders existing business models obsolete, leads providers to rethink who their customers are, customers to rethink what they value, and reconfigures the value-network elements. There is much controversy and debate in both the academic and practitioner worlds as to what a disruptive innovation is and how to study it.

We are living in an age of disruption, defined as fundamental changes that disturb or re-order the ways in which organizations and ecosystems operate. For instance, 3D printing could radically change the world of manufacturing. FinTechs could displace established incumbents in the banking industry. The sharing economy could produce new forms of organizing and competing by blurring the distinction between owner, consumer and producer.
This session addresses the following questions:
What do we mean by disruption and what are the different types?
What does it mean to manage and lead in such a world of ongoing disruption?
How should we re-tool our intellectual frameworks to deal with such ongoing disruption?

Afternoon Session : Trends and Drivers that Underpin Disruption

This session will explore a number of trends and drivers that have impacted the banking and financial sectors such as regulatory reform in response to the 2008 global financial crisis, growing consumer empowerment, globalisation and availability of low cost locations and labour and the industrialisation of core functions and activities. Currently, new technological disruptors to existing ways of doing business are emerging such as digitisation of the core activities of financial services, big data technologies allowing profoundly different insights into business activities, machine learning and artificial intelligence leading to robotisation of work and blockchain technologies. Through a series of vignettes, participants construct a framework to understand the root causes of disruption, and internalize the framework to their own contexts.
Welcome Gala Dinner
This dinner will be held at one of the 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge to give participants the opportunity to experience the ambience of what it would be like to be studying at Cambridge. There will be a guest speaker during dinner.

EXAMINING DISRUPTION FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
Morning Session : Three Perspectives on Disruption: Market, Technology and Regulatory

This session continues the focus on drivers of disruption through a panel discussion. It focuses on interlocked factors that accompany disruption in industries. The starting point is to examine how disruption affects markets and therefore changes business models. The interplay of technology (such as mobile messaging) makes the picture considerably more nuanced. And, finally, accompanying changes in the regulatory environment (such as mandating shared platforms for user data) creates new challenges. The discussion is followed by an interactive session wherein participants create take-aways for their own organizations.This session will explore a number of trends and drivers that have impacted the banking and financial sectors such as regulatory reform in response to the 2008 global financial crisis, growing consumer empowerment, globalisation and availability of low cost locations and labour and the industrialisation of core functions and activities. Currently, new technological disruptors to existing ways of doing business are emerging such as digitisation of the core activities of financial services, big data technologies allowing profoundly different insights into business activities, machine learning and artificial intelligence leading to robotisation of work and blockchain technologies. Through a series of vignettes, participants construct a framework to understand the root causes of disruption, and internalize the framework to their own contexts.
PREPARING THE ORGANIZATION FOR RESILIENCE
Afternoon Session : Spotting and Preparing for Disruption through Scenario Planning

This session looks at the application of scenario planning techniques through a short case study and a simulated process. The simulated process will replicate key stages of a scenario exercise, concentrating on disruptive forces, critical sense-making devices and strategic integration. A brief overview of an actual scenario analysis, including a group exercise, will be provided to indicate some of the practicalities of real world engagement. Participants then learn to connect the scenarios to capabilities in their own organizations.

Morning Session : Innovation as a Key Building Block in Resilience

Mature companies understand that to compete today they need to innovate. But finding sources of innovation while still paying attention to the current business can be a struggle and organisations realise that radical change is needed but do not feel equipped to make such a change. However, one of the forces that threatens established companies can also be a source of salvation- Disruptive Change. Disruptions in the business environment allow new entrants or forward-thinking established organisations to introduce innovations that transform the way their companies do business; and encourages organisations to leverage disruptive change as a platform for innovation. For example sources of innovation could come from disruptive changes in business models, regulatory changes, technology shifts and opportunities in the global market.

This session focuses on innovation as a key lever for organisations to be resilient and it offers a way for senior executives to think about how to bring innovation into the core of their activities. This is done by developing a framework around the what, why and how of innovation. We start by examining what innovation means, then through a set of vignettes, we categorize innovation into different types and identify the value that each type of innovation can create. The discussion then leads to the question of why. Participants learn about the role of innovation for sustainability and the properties of ambidextrous organizations. We then focus on the how of innovation. Through a set of exercises, participants learn the building blocks of innovation processes and the corresponding organizational characteristics needed to foster these processes. Participants leave with a framework and a set of questions that they can apply to their own contexts.
DISRUPTION IN THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
Afternoon Session : Building a Resilient Organization through Leadership

One of the key issues for leadership effectiveness is how to lead rather than manage and how to create a vision of the future which engages and motivates the individuals and teams who will implement the changes brought about by disruption in the banking sector. The session will also explore the notion that having the appropriate leadership style can be critical for effective performance; and also how individual leaders can influence employees to perform at their best in an organisation that is operating in an evolving and disruptive business environment. It is clear that leaders need to adjust their style or approach based upon the circumstances and conditions that they encounter in their environments. This will help participants understand that organisations involve working with employees who have different attitudes, assumptions and ways of working; and that different leadership styles have an impact on worker engagement especially if it wants to have commitment rather than compliance from the workforce.This session will explore a number of trends and drivers that have impacted the banking and financial sectors such as regulatory reform in response to the 2008 global financial crisis, growing consumer empowerment, globalisation and availability of low cost locations and labour and the industrialisation of core functions and activities.

Morning & Afternoon Sessions : Implementing Resilience through Stakeholder Management

Successful organisational transformation means integrating, implementing and coping with innovative changes and successfully aligning this with the culture of the organisation and its leadership approach within often uncertain and unpredictable environments. This has been, and is likely to remain, one of the main challenges facing leaders today. The successful management of change presents a key leadership challenge for managers. In fact, a large percentage of organizational change management initiatives fail or substantially fall short on expectations and leading change successfully means figuring out who the key stakeholders are, and getting their buy-in.

A stakeholder is a (possibly external) party that is impacted by an initiative and has both the interest and the power to influence the initiative. Most major change initiatives are significantly influenced by external stakeholders, who cannot be directly controlled by the executive.

The objectives of the sessions are to enable participants to learn about: how to understand stakeholders, their respective influence networks and motivations for their behaviors, and therefore manage them better. These lessons will help participants to control not only the internal project aspects but also other influences. Through a simulation, participants manage stakeholders, understand their influence networks, and devise strategies for managing stakeholders in complex environments.
Final Gala Dinner & Certificate Ceremony
To close the programme, one of the traditions of the University is to have a final Gala dinner for participants held at one of the 31 colleges. A guest speaker will give the final dinner speech.

Morning Session : Adapting the Compliance Function to the Demands of a Resilient Organization

Resilience is an organisation’s capacity to anticipate and react to change, not only to survive, but also to evolve; and change is a critical element when it comes to resilience in the financial and banking sector. A report by PwC’s Financial Services team has suggested that if an organisation uses the Compliance, Risk and Regulatory data that it has already gathered, it can strengthen organisational resilience. It is suggested that if banking and financial institutions get smart in using data gathered from Compliance, Regulatory and Risk functions, they would be in a better position to manage tectonic shifts in the behaviour of their customers and thereby bolster organisational resilience

Afternoon Session : Synthesis: Steps Toward a Resilient Organization & Setting Your Business Agenda

This session integrates and synthesizes the lessons learned in the previous session. Through a three- round structured set of exercises, participants create a set of take-aways contextualized to their own business situations, with clear deliverables and milestones.
Personal Action Plan
The final session will have participants draw up their personal action plans, focusing on 2 to 3 key actions of what they will do differently when they return to the workplace. It is an opportunity to engage the participants in what they have learned in the course of the programme, how applicable it is to their organisation and how they can transfer the learning.
