Strategic Bank Management is part of the International Executive Campus

Introduction

This week will explore emerging challenges for senior bank managers. In an ever changing, fast paced world, it is imperative to adapt, evolve and move forward. More so for banks and its strategies. Technological advances, geopolitical tensions, economic shocks, environmental factors and sudden policy shifts play a big part in a firm’s ability to successful navigate and execute even the best laid out plans.

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.

Target Group

CEO’s and Senior Corporate Managers in Banking and Finance, FinTechs, Non-Bank Financial Institutions and their Board Members/Directors

A Strategy Audit

We start with a definition of Strategic Management. The art and science of formulating, implementing and the evaluating cross-functional decisions that will enable a firm to achieve its objectives.

We question whether the firm has a clearly defined business model (cost leadership, service leadership, technology leadership, …), and whether it is viable and resilient.

We then attempt to create a blueprint.
