Day 1 - Set the Strategic Direction and Execute It
Explore the strategic forces reshaping banking and financial services, and how leaders define a clear direction, position their institutions in a changing market, and translate strategy into measurable execution.

Day 3 - Turn Technological Change into Competitive Advantage

You will gain practical understanding, real-world examples, and a strategic view on where to invest and act in banks.
 
Day 4 - Compete Effectively in a Market Where Boundaries Are Disappearing
Examine competition in an increasingly digital and platform-driven financial ecosystem, where banks, fintechs, and new digital entrants compete.

You will gain a clear view of the evolving landscape, tools for positioning and differentiation, and practical case insights from fintechs.

Target group

This intensive, week-long course is designed for CEOs and Senior Corporate Managers in Banking and Finance, FinTechs, Non-Bank Financial Institutions, as well as for Chairpersons and Directors of Governing Boards for such institutions. During the week we delve into what guides and impacts the main actors in the firm and how having robust purpose and meaning is paramount to staying relevant and focused. We look at the building blocks of strategy, how to create a blueprint, discuss the drivers of change (i.e., technology, sustainability) and how we find the best fit, whilst leveraging on new trends and innovation. Importantly we relate this to banks and financial institutions who run banking services.
