Finance / Management

Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success, and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated due to a lack of these abilities. Contrary to popular belief, few of us are born with this skill; instead, most either practise it or learn from their mistakes. This course is designed to help participants improve their communication skills and, consequently, enhance their ability to work effectively with others.

Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. While excellent communication is a prerequisite, what matters even more is the ability to listen attentively and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and arrive at an outcome that both are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements, or giving direct guidance. Their primary responsibility is to foster effective communication and build consensus between the parties. This course also covers the broader range of skills, beyond communication, required to be an effective mediator.

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

• Appreciate the need to manage their own behaviour before they can influence others’ behaviour
• Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various communications media available
• Manage their internal and external customers and stakeholders

Format of the course

The course will be a highly-interactive combination of:

• Facilitated Discussions
• Slide Presentations
• Exercises and

Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, while financial institutions are shifting towards risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow in complexity, effective risk management becomes an ever greater challenge.

• Industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the organisation

• An exploration of the challenges risk managers may face in the future

This course makes extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout to highlight how they failed to manage their risks and the actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.

Objectives

• Identify the requirements for a successful QMS audit.

The primary objective of this programme is to shift the audit function from a reactive 'finding' activity to a proactive 'prevention' strategy. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will specifically target the elimination of recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the resulting recommendation delivers a lasting fix, thereby safeguarding the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes in financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that escalate over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls instead of focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

Course Objectives:

• This is a one-day course. Upon completion, participants will be able to:
  • Define what constitutes a risk, its origins, and its impact on business, as demonstrated by their heightened awareness of the subject.
  • Identify various scenarios that can assist the organisation in limiting and, ideally, eliminating risk.

  • Explore a range of techniques to identify, mitigate, and limit risk.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to strengthen risk management across the organisation as a whole.

Through interactive case studies and real-world sector examples, participants are encouraged to share their experiences and challenges, fostering the development of practical, work-focused solutions they can apply immediately upon returning to their organisations.

The core objective of the programme is to equip executives with the skills to scan the business environment, identify profitable opportunities, and develop strategies to gain a competitive edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

In complex business environments, the success of a project rarely depends on technical execution alone; it hinges on the support of the people involved.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify stakeholders,
• Analyse their influence and expectations,
• Select appropriate communication strategies,
• Handle conflicts of interest,
• Build long-term relationships.
