In finance the difference between a healthy position on underwriting and share pricing and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Growth built on poorly controlled share pricing reverses faster than it accumulated. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the financial and banking practice discipline improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme converts underwriting and share pricing from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants who influence the practice within financial and banking practice without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about share pricing in their own setting. Most organisations already have a policy on underwriting and share pricing; far fewer can show it working. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to share pricing in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the financial and banking practice discipline rather than a set of notes.
