Manama: The General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (CIBAFI), the global umbrella of Islamic financial institutions, and Ivey Business School have successfully launched the eighth series of their joint Executive Programme.
This year’s timely programme is themed: “Agile and Strategic Leadership for Succeeding in a Hyper Turbulent World.” The two-day programme at the Le Meridien Hotel Seef and the participants had interactive sessions.
Agile and strategic leadership, in this changing global paradigm, is now an absolute necessity for institutions around the globe. CIBAFI thanked the Ivey Business School for their continuous support in jointly organising this world-class and highly interactive learning experience for the leaders of the Islamic financial services industry.
Participants of this programme learned how to change their mindset and develop fresh concepts so they may assess disruptive and agile initiatives in their organizations. Participants were also engaged in thought-provoking discussions about how leadership teams should commit to being vigilant and future proof their organisations.
Their openness to diverse inputs from anywhere inside or outside the organization, and the extent of active networking outside of their comfort zones gauged and evaluated through a curiosity exercise.
As a leading international organisation, CIBAFI continually supports the Islamic financial industry through specific activities and initiatives which promote growth and uphold ethical practices and Islamic finance values in all financial dealings and transactions. CIBAFI is committed to facilitating cooperation between members and institutions of common interest as well as providing platforms to discuss emerging issues and share knowledge through specialized publications and comprehensive training programmes.
