Expand Your Global Banking Network
The financial services industry remains in constant flux. Bankers and financial advisors must keep up with innovations in technology, regulatory reform, and new business models amidst an increasingly global economy. The UW Global Bankers Program (UW-GBP) equips leaders to thrive through decision-making skills, leadership development, and hands-on problem-solving of industry challenges.
During the two weeks, you will:
- Enhance leadership and decision-making skills for a changing global economy.
- Develop a network of business contacts and become part of an extensive GBP alumni community worldwide.
- Gain a new understanding of industry-changing forces such as risk, globalization and AI and other technology impact.
- Improve decision-making skills with tools for assessing the competition, creating business strategies, analyzing opportunities, and responding to changing markets.
- Gain a deeper understanding of cultural differences as you learn alongside participants from the United States, Europe, Central Asia, North and South America, and Pacific Rim countries.
- Work with your team on a capstone project and present your recommendations to the GBP Board.

I took some really good leadership and personal lessons from these interactions. Also, the team dynamics during module 3’s capstone project taught valuable lessons in accountability and responsibility, which are key to building trust within the team and attaining goals we have set
