Course Overview

The audit trail behind open banking and data protection matters as much as the decision itself. Models supporting data protection fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the financial and banking practice capability it covers ends in something applicable. They acquire practical criteria for judging when open banking and data protection is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme suits teams tackling this aspect of financial and banking practice together as readily as individuals attending alone. Mature organisations treat data protection as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The difficulty is not agreeing that open banking and data protection matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of data protection rather than to abstract argument. Participants leave with a plan for this area of financial and banking practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
