International Directors Banking Programme
INSEAD partner programme with the European Banking Federation
NEW DATES FOR 2020 ANNOUNCED
Developing directors in a global banking context
Webinar (January 2019) with Peter Nathanial and Sebastien de Brouwer. Click here.
Building on the success of INSEAD’s International Directors Programme, their flagship course in corporate governance, the International Directors Banking Programme is designed to support international bank directors and senior executives in navigating this most challenging environment.
As EBF we are very proud to team up with INSEAD, one of the world’s leading and largest graduate business schools, in proposing this topical programme. We strongly believe that the topic of governance is essential in today’s global context, and, in the wake of the crisis the banking sector has gone through. The banking sector is under heavy scrutiny from regulators, shareholders and society, who are all searching for improved governance and performance. Bank boards and senior executives must deliver performance-wise while complying with stricter regulations, avoiding sanctions at all costs, and navigating risks in an environment that remains turbulent and unpredictable.
To navigate this most challenging environment, bank directors, supported by executives, need to review and update their corporate governance practices. They also need to shape their corporate culture going forward, anchoring it in both effective governance and performance. All this is more easily stated than achieved. INSEAD, through its Corporate Governance Centre, in partnership with the EBF, has decided to support executives, directors and bank boards in this challenging environment by proposing a programme that focuses on how to execute effective governance in what may be perceived as an unforgiving digital economy. The programme provides participants with the opportunity to exchange views on the challenges met in governance and its practices. Our common goals aim at ensuring that common regulatory and policy goals are adhered to and thoroughly understood.
The International Directors Banking Programme consists of three modules – governance effectiveness in the modern banking landscape; board efficiency and dynamics for high-performing culture; and developing director excellence and their boards.
Within each module, the programme will focus on three fundamental questions:
- What do bank directors need to know about the modern banking landscape to set the direction of the organisation?
- How can bank directors and executives cultivate board efficiency and positive dynamics for a high-performing culture?
- In the current context of the banking sector, how can bank directors best exercise their responsibilities to accomplish what is required in the boardroom?
The objectives are:
- developing an understanding of the fundamental principles of corporate governance and the broader context in which banks operate;
- learning about the inherent tensions and pitfalls associated with governance in the banking sector;
- gaining a clear understanding of the governance roles and responsibilities of bank board members and executives, and how they collaborate to execute their mandate;
- learning how bank executives and directors can work effectively with external auditors, regulators, shareholders and other stakeholders;
- preparing for and executing governance in times of crisis and distress;
- grasping how to govern across multiple subsidiaries and geographies.
The programme is targeting:
- Board members / directors in banking
- Senior bank executives with governance experience
- Members of board committees
- Auditors and legal counsel of financial institutions working with banks and their boards
- Regulators and supervisors
The dates of the first programme are the following:
- Module 1 (3 days): 5 –8 April 2020 – INSEAD Europe Campus, Fontainebleau, France
- Module 2 (3 days): 14–16 July 2020 – INSEAD Europe Campus, Fontainebleau, France
- Module 3 (3 days): 20–22 October 2020 – INSEAD Europe Campus, Fontainebleau, France

Modern Governance in Banking
An European Banking Federation and INSEAD partner programme
[UPDATE 13 April: adds link to webinar recording]
“Modern Governance in Banking” is a new modular programme of three three-day modules at the INSEAD business school in Fontainebleau, France. The content is driven by the needs for bank directors and senior executives working in banks to review and update their corporate governance practices due to the many pressures they face, and will focus on the effectiveness of directors and boards. Successful completion by participants offers certification by INSEAD.
As one of the world’s leading and largest graduate business schools, INSEAD offers participants a truly global educational experience. With campuses in Europe (France), Asia (Singapore) and Middle East (Abu Dhabi), INSEAD’s business education and research spans three continents. Its 145 renowned faculty members from 40 countries inspire more than 1,400 students in its degree and PhD programmes. In addition, over 10,000 executives participate in INSEAD’s executive education programmes each year.
Modern Governance in Banking
In today’s global economy, the banking sector is under heavy scrutiny from regulators, share holders and society, who are all searching for both improved governance and performance. Bank boards and senior executives must deliver performance while complying with stricter regulations, avoiding sanctions at all costs, and navigating risks in an environment that remains turbulent and unpredictable. Tensions are present of course in all sectors, but they are particularly severe in banking, where compliance and ethics, long-term versus short-term trade-offs, and product and organisational complexity abound. And if all this was not sufficient, digitalisation and fintech are expected to cause fundamental changes.
EBF and INSEAD offer new partner programme
To navigate this most challenging environment, bank directors, supported by executives, need to review and update their corporate governance practices.
