Certified Private Banker (CPB) Level 3

Programme Overview

High-performing individual contributors may not necessarily have the required competencies when they become people managers. Managers and team leaders play critical roles with responsibilities that include developing the team, managing change and driving the business successfully. This Certified Private Banker (CPB) Level 3 programme develops competencies, such as engaging and influencing stakeholders, setting the right culture and team goals, developing a business plan as well as balancing between the needs of the organisation, client and team.

Modules

Managing Business Performance

People are at the heart of all organisations. The finest hardware, systems and policies can only function as effectively as the people implementing them. Thus, ‘heartware’ plays a pivotal role in helping organisations thrive. Beyond yourself, you are responsible for leading your direct reports. This session helps you understand key organisational behaviour principles and practical tools to build, align, inspire and develop a diverse, high-performance team in wealth management.

Managing Change

The wealth management sector is rapidly changing. Increasingly, fintech is disrupting traditional industry structures; millennials will form over 50% of the global workforce; globalisation compels everyone to operate with high Cultural Intelligence; the global regulatory agenda has triggered the reshoring of assets, adversely affecting cross-border wealth management. This module helps you understand the dynamics of change, communicate in a positive manner about change to direct reports and High-Net-Worth (HNW) clients and successfully drive change management strategies.
