Digital Banking – Business Opportunities

Overview

The term ‘Digital Banking’ is one of the most miss-understood concepts in the financial world today. Ask any group of 21st century bankers and you will get more definitions than there is member of the group. Many simply see Digital Banking as mobile banking or on-line banking. They see it as an add-on to existing and traditional banking services. All of these are too narrow focused. They fail to see the big picture.

Rapid technological changes in recent years have revolutionized the way banking services and products are produced and delivered to consumers, small businesses and corporates alike.

We are all familiar with how the Internet, the Mobile-phone and Smartcards have changed the way we live our lives.

To innovative, progressive, go-ahead banks these changes, known collectively as Digital Banking hold great promise to change the way banking operations are carried out. With this change will come new operational processes, procedures and business models.

This two-day training program shows you how technology is changing the face of banking and how it is altering both its risk profile and business model. This technology has major positive implications for banking – for banks and their customers alike.

On the positive side these changes present vast business opportunities for banks in terms of dramatically reduced costs, more targeted marketing and a wider client base. On the flipside these changes have dramatically modified and in some cases increased many of the traditional risks associated with banking activities.

Leadership in Crisis and Steady State

Organisations need to completely rethink what they are about and what it means to lead. It’s not about one person or even those residing at the top anymore. In today’s world, everyone has to adopt a leadership mind-set. We have to think of ourselves as members of a leadership community.” Patty McCord, former chief talent officer, Netflix

Leadership starts at the top of the organisation, but must also be able to capture the ‘mood in the middle’, and deliver the ‘buzz at the bottom’. Leadership is contextual, and leaders need to be able to operate in situations of crisis and steady state.

The Masterclass explores both theoretical and practical aspects of leadership and the importance of the concept in delivering organisational success.

Through online interaction, delegates attending the Masterclass will be able to take part in discussions and interaction, consider exercises which explore and share best practices. Case studies will be used to examine the record of proven leaders, and demonstrate how failed leaders have imperilled the health and even viability of the organisations within which they worked.
