Strategic Project Management in Banking Masterclass

Project delivery and strategy formulation as one discipline — evidence-based analysis, creative option development and plans senior management will actually back.

The programme

Bank strategies rarely fail in conception; they fail in delivery. This hands-on workshop joins the two halves — effective project management and the main steps of strategy formulation — for people who must be effective at both. The cohort works through the five phases of project management and why, combined, they sharply raise the odds of delivery; then the tools and analytical techniques for building strategy on a sound reading of the bank’s capabilities and its macro and market environment. The approach demands evidence-based analysis while leaving room to think outside the box on market-beating options, and closes with describing strategy compellingly enough to win senior management commitment and staff support.

What you will do

Run all five phases of project management, and use their combination to raise the odds of successful delivery.
Formulate a coherent bank strategic plan, grounded in the bank’s capabilities and its macro and market environment.
Apply strategic tools for situational analysis, market understanding and the development of strategic options.
Weigh the strategies deployed by banks around the world, with their relative merits and demerits.
Align strategy with organisational capability and resources, taking advantage of opportunities in the market.
Present the plan so it wins commitment, from senior management and staff — using techniques that work immediately, with no lead time or special software.

Who attends

  • Supervisory and executive roles across the bank
  • SME and corporate banking managers

  • Human resources and risk management

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.
