than the CBA/BAI Graduate School of Retail Management. Designed and delivered by leading industry practitioners, this executive program will give your most promising talent a unique opportunity to build a deep knowledge of the retail banking business and to sharpen skills in strategic decision making. The entire experience is designed to prepare your high-potential players for the top ranks of leadership in your organization.

This executive program is built using rigorous teaching approaches in adult learning. Minimizing lecture time, out hands-on curriculum immerses students directly in the executive experience through intense simulation exercises created specifically for this program. The curriculum is tested and has been carefully built around a small team approach to ensure active participation and interaction with other students and faculty. The program teaches core principles associated with the executive responsibility of running a sound and successful bank over the long term.

The curriculum element with the most impact is the simulation-based learning that infuses all three sessions.

» The First Year Session starts with profitability analysis with BankersGPS®, a modeling tool populated with actual bank call report data.

» The Second Year uses MarketSim, which serves as the foundation of retail market share strategy development with an emphasis on result metrics.

» The Third Year uses BankCom®, the only overall bank simulation tool that factors risk and analyst recommendation in to bank valuation.
