The Next GLOBAL banking leaders Programme will be from 21 NOVEMBER - 2 DECEMBER 2022
For early bookings, please email training@asianbankingschool.com
The annual Global Banking Leaders Programme is a flagship programme of the Asian Banking School (ABS) and was launched in 2016. The first of its kind to be developed specifically for the banking industry, it is a collaboration between ABS and the Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City, University of London. This will be the fourth year of the Programme.
The Global Banking Leaders programme is delivered through a mixture of lectures, interactive debates, topical case studies and group-work by a balance of Bayes Business School faculty members and experienced industry experts. It will be led by internationally renowned academician Professor Steve Thomas, and will draw from Cass experts in banking and leadership.
This unique programme has been designed for senior management from banking and other finance-related institutions and will give invaluable insights into areas that leaders of today must face head on. This includes building a leadership brand in banking, developing and managing high performance teams, stakeholder management, strategic change, behavioural finance, FinTech and digital transformation, innovation, enhancing collaborations and regulatory initiatives.
It will be delivered over two weeks; with the first week in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the state-of-the-art facilities of the Asian Banking School and the second week in London, United Kingdom at the centrally located Bayes Business School. Following successful completion of the Programme, participants will become alumni of the Bayes Business School and be part of an illustrious network of graduates and professionals from around the world.
