Exploring Digital Banking Innovations & Transformation Masterclass

Anywhere-and-anytime banking is now the baseline — the products, channels and marketing plan a bank needs to compete on the customer’s phone.

The programme

Customers now expect their bank to be wherever they are — “anywhere and anytime banking” is the baseline, not the differentiator, and innovations such as WhatsApp Banking, riding a platform with more than two billion users, show how fast the channel map redraws itself. This masterclass surveys the digital banking product set and then gets practical about competing on it: how digital marketing has disrupted the traditional marketing mix, how the online consumer journey works and where to intercept it, and how to set objectives for each digital channel inside a written marketing plan. The cohort works through where analytics, big data and AI create value in financial institutions, and how selected machine learning applications combine into a working AI ecosystem.

Frequently asked

Which digital banking innovations does the masterclass explore?

It then examines where analytics, big data and AI create value in financial institutions, and how selected machine learning applications combine into a working AI ecosystem.

Does the course cover digital marketing as well as products?

Yes — that is its practical half. Participants work through how digital marketing has disrupted the traditional marketing mix, how the online consumer journey works and where to intercept it, and how to set objectives for each digital channel inside a written marketing plan, with their digital assets optimised to support it.

How is the masterclass delivered, and what does it cost?

Who teaches this

Practitioners, not presenters.

Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.

What the bench brings

  • Commercial and corporate banking process design
  • SME banking: organisation, products and credit
  • Digital and agency banking, channels and payments
  • Product development and financial marketing
  • Digital and business strategy
  • Enterprise-wide transformation programmes

Where they have practised

Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.

Sectors: Banking & financial services · Technology & fintech · Professional services · Insurance

Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas

How they teach

  • Live case studies from real institutions
  • Worked exercises on realistic bank data
  • Regulator-style challenge sessions
  • Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
  • Knowledge checks and a personal action plan

Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
