The Senior Management Program in Banking (SMP) is targeted at senior managers from the financial industry with responsibility for
- multiple business lines
- a significant single business line
- integrated services to clients
- an individual operational support area
and managers moving into any of the above positions.
These executives share the need to understand the different forces shaping not only their own area, but also the business and functional areas on which they depend and which they impact. Participants typically have a minimum of 10 years of experience, with 5 years in a managerial role and they have an average age of about 40 years. Participants come from various financial areas, including retail banking, commercial banking, private banking, asset management, investment banking, trading, operations and support areas.
Participants of the Senior Management Program in Banking are normally sponsored by their firms, as they are expected to play a major role in their organization’s future. They have been identified as key players of their firm so that a significant investment in their executive education is absolutely reasonable.
Participant feedback from the SMP cycle 2008:
“The excellent mix of participants in respect of practical experience, nationality and institutions gave valuable diversity of views on specific topics. There was an ideal sequence of theoretical input, expert views of the industry and group activities. Highly appreciated was the flexibility in adjusting subjects to the economic and market situation.”
