Course Overview

In finance the difference between a healthy position on personal financial planning and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over the wider financial and banking practice agenda. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the financial and banking practice discipline outperform teams that only plan it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that personal financial planning is examined from more than one functional angle. A common pattern is strong design of the practice within financial and banking practice paired with weak follow-through. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this aspect of financial and banking practice, ready to be adapted internally. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in personal financial planning rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the practice within financial and banking practice it covers ends in something applicable. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the wider financial and banking practice agenda ready to put in front of a decision maker.
