Executive Management Programme
2017
A look inside the RBA Executive Management Programme 2017
In May we hosted retail bankers from
around the world on our exclusive
Executive Management Programme,
held in a luxurious country house hotel
in a quintessentially English countryside
town.
The
three-day
intensive
programme is tailored to meet the
challenges faced by senior retail bankers
worldwide, and covers a range of topics
from the Retail Banking III curriculum.
Delegates were invited to bring their
own experiences to life throughout
the programme, with presentations
and discussions on the challenges
faced in each market. The programme
culminated in a simulation game
where delegates were presented with a
scenario and tasked with using the Basel
III regulatory framework to present their
solution to the rest of the group. Winners
were announced at the end of the final
day. On the last evening everyone went
to the famous Ascot Racecourse for
a tour of the grounds and a farewell
dinner. Here they were presented with
their scrolls, concluding a high intensity
week for all.

Delegates
complimented
the
programme, with the Head of Regional
Credit at Standard Bank saying:
“I think the whole experience
has been fantastic. It’s good
to take a step back and look
at different retail banking
concepts from an alternative
point of view. Furthermore,
the way in which the material
is presented is simple and very
relevant to our day-to-day
role.”
The Head of Key Accounts and Service
Delivery from Abu Dhabi Commercial
Bank commented on the programme’s
faculty, saying:
“The faculty members are
excellent. The combination
of varied practical experience
combined
with
academic
knowledge
is
incredibly
engaging and informative.”

This sentiment was echoed by Head of
Special Projects at Stanbic Bank, who
described the programme as “very
insightful and diverse”, highlighting
the fact that “the learning principles
allow us to understand our customer
needs and create solutions that support
the growth of the bank.” By the end of
an intensive week, our delegates had
taken full advantage of the networking
opportunities available, with the Retail
Banking Lebanon Manager from Bank
Audi SAL saying:
“The networking aspect is huge.
I’ve met brilliant bankers from
across the world. The diversity
of delegates creates new
opportunities for learning new
ways of thinking about similar
problems across markets.”
