Empowering the next generation of banking leaders – our partnership with Hong Kong Institute of Bankers (HKIB)

We’re delighted to share that we’ve partnered with The Hong Kong Institute of Bankers (HKIB) to launch the Strategic Management and Leadership module, designed for mid-senior level banking professionals in Hong Kong. This exciting new addition to HKIB’s Certified Banker (CB) Programme has been designed to develop the strategic mindset and leadership skills needed to thrive in senior roles.

Our new partnership delivers cutting-edge leadership training for mid-senior level banking professionals in Hong Kong

The module is split into two dynamic parts. First, learners will dive into Unit 1 of our Strategic Management in Banking (SMIB) qualification, which covers essential areas like strategic planning, implementation, and management. Then, HKIB will bring in senior bankers from Hong Kong for live sessions to share their local insights and offer practical applications of the concepts learned, ensuring learners are equipped with real-world knowledge. 

A unique blend of global expertise and local insights to enhance strategic management skills

Carrie Leung, CEO of HKIB, shared her enthusiasm for the collaboration: 
“Hong Kong’s banking sector depends on the strength and capacity within its workforce, ensuring it provides employers with the best possible talent.  Our collaboration with LIBF in launching the Strategic Management and Leadership module is another example of how HKIB delivers the provision of exceptional standards of qualifications.” 

Our Vice-Chancellor and CEO, Steve Hill, added:

"By blending LIBF’s global expertise with local industry insights, we’re confident that this partnership will empower participants to lead with strategic vision and make meaningful contributions in their organisations and the broader financial industry."
