Banking is in flux because of a multiplicity of factors including technology, customers, regulation, and collapsing industry boundaries. The challenges require banks to transform their strategy and ways of organising through digital technologies to be innovative and more competitive.
Making a transition requires a rethinking and a widening of the lens of innovation; and for senior managers and leaders, this requires creative confidence. It also requires there to be a change in the way the organisation itself operates; transforming from the inside-out to embrace the business ecosystem.
The Emerging Banking Leaders Programme is essential for high potential talent on a fast track to a leadership position, especially for those who will soon be tasked to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the industry. It has been specifically designed to help them find their way through the strategic flux, and more than that, turn ideas into actions and drive the changes needed to future-proof their organisations.
Over 1 week, programme participants will gain invaluable insights from renowned Cambridge Judge Business School faculty into global banking trends and disruptions, strategic thinking, digital innovation and transformation, cross border disruptions, addressing consumer needs and for the first time, sustainable finance and the green economy. The high impact learning will be done via classroom style, with a mix of interactive sessions and topical case studies. Classes will be held at the University of Cambridge in the UK, and participants will stay on campus for a fully immersive Cambridge experience.
Participants will have membership of the Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education alumni network following successful completion of the Programme. The benefits of being a member of this community includes access to a network of very diverse, high calibre international executives from across the sectors; information on new Cambridge programmes for continuing professional and executive development; a series of online webinars and physical faculty-led events on different business and leadership themes; regular communications and news from the faculty and team at Executive Education.

The networked economy is shifting the economic order worldwide and hence driving rethinking of strategy and in some cases, business models. During this opening session of the programme, we address head-on the challenge that leaders face in disruptive times. Through examples and frameworks from different domains, we will examine how disruption affects well-accepted strategic frameworks. We then consider what insights and lessons could be drawn from other industries and apply the strategic revisits to the banking and financial services industry. The take-away from the session is a set of clear frameworks that participants can use in their own business situations.
Sustainable finance refers to integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects into the business models of firms, and also the investment strategies. Activities that are covered by the topic of sustainable finance include sustainable funds, green bonds, impact investing, microfinance, and also funding a circular economy. The session will discuss the different aspects of sustainable finance and also an examination of what a circular economy is.
A circular economy model requires firms in different sectors across the value chain to integrate disruptive technology and design business and financial models that are based on longevity, renewability, reuse, repair, upgrade, refurbishment, serviceability, capacity sharing, and dematerialisation. Organisations still have to take into consideration cost management and control but they have to think about the financial impact - rethinking products and services and designing end user value propositions that offer increased efficiency, effectiveness, and performance. Despite the importance and potential benefits of the circular economy, the private sector is yet to adopt this new approach at either the strategic or operational level for many different reasons but in addition, incorporating financial decisions into its adoptions.
This dinner will be held at Queen’s College, one of the oldest and largest of the 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge. Set in its beautiful Old Hall, participants will have the opportunity to experience the ambience of what it would be like to be studying at Cambridge and attending their formal dinners. Simon Thompson, Chief Executive of the Chartered Banker Institute will be the guest speaker during dinner.
For leaders and executives in many industries, the marriage of the physical and digital brings huge potential to revolutionise all aspects of their businesses from visions, strategies and business models to talent and workforce development. This session is designed to provide opportunities for the participants to hear leaders from outside of the financial industry on how they face the challenges and opportunities posed by digital transformation. The session is composed of two parts:
It will start with a panel of leaders in the healthcare and biopharma industry, followed by a panel discussion and debrief. Participants will then have the opportunity to have structured conversations and discussions with innovators from start-ups. The idea is not that large, established organisations suddenly start behaving like start-ups; but rather, that there are specific aspects and related behaviours that they can learn from start-ups and appropriate into their own contexts; from strategy, stakeholders, execution, and people.
This session will start by describing the transformational changes that take place across several industries including banking primarily due to an unprecedented number of technological and market changes at a global scale. However, these changes are materialising only when they are complemented by new business models. A framework for assessing the transformational potential needs of business models will be introduced to enable leaders to build responses to technological and market changes on a strategic level. This session will cover topics that include:
During this session, we will explore the challenges faced by firms whose operations cross borders. Borders can simultaneously be a separate source of disruption for organisations (for instance, when political events make them more salient) as well as a source of complication during the implementation of strategic change (for instance when having to deal with different cultures). To prepare us to deal with such challenges, we will explore (1) the state of globalisation, (2) how borders affect operations, and (3) strategies for coping with the effects of borders.
Upon completion of this programme, participants will be able to:
Downing College is set on twenty acres of beautiful grounds and gardens providing the perfect backdrop for the Emerging Banking Leaders Programme. Founded in 1800, through a bequest made by Sir George Downing 3rd Baronet, it was the only college to be added to Cambridge University between 1596 and 1869, and is often described as the oldest of the new colleges and the newest of the old. Downing College was formed "for the encouragement of the study of Law and Medicine and of the cognate subjects of Moral and Natural Science", and has developed a reputation amongst Cambridge colleges for Law and Medicine. It has been named one of the two most eco-friendly Cambridge colleges.
Queen’s College is the ninth oldest and one of the largest colleges of the university. Its oldest buildings date back to the 15th Century. The college spans both sides of the River Cam, colloquially referred to as the “light side” and the “dark side”, with the world famous Mathematical Bridge connecting the two.
Corpus Christi College was founded in 1352. The college provides a stimulating academic and residential environment across the site of its original foundation in the heart of Cambridge and boasts the beautiful and unusual Corpus Clock.
