Leadership in the Future of Finance
Executive program for CXOs from FIs
TBD
8 CPD Hours Per Session
New Technologies are changing Finance and Financial institutions. The change is rapid yet uncertain. Currently, three topics at the forefront of change are AI, Tokenization and Sustainability. The C-suite is often in charge of deciding when and how to introduce these new technologies; and how much investment to make: is it a million-dollar bet, or a billion-dollar bet? The C-suite is the final arbitrator of the debate between the evangelists and the traditionalists.
This programme is designed to equip the empowered to make the right decisions; to understand the current state of the art in these technologies as well as their lacunae. The programme is restricted to only C-suite participants to create a safe space for effective discussions. All participants will be screened by the organizer to ensure adequate seniority.
Each of the instructors have doctorate degrees and over 25 years of practical financial service experience across premier institutions. They will be accompanied by external speakers for curated panel discussions and fireside chats on focused topics during the programme. It will focus on practical implementation of the technologies, with special emphasis on regulations and regulatory views.
