This program is designed to meet the continuing education needs of banking executives to keep pace with that change, both its risks and its possibilities.

To address the needs of banking executives the Robert Kennedy College in Zurich, Switzerland is glad to announce a new executive education programme for bankers to be held from the 21 to the 23 June 2006 in Zurich: The Art of Banking.

The Art of Banking is designed around six strategic principles, derived from Sun Tzu’s Art of War, that winning strategists have used to succeed in business. Each master class in the program focuses on one of these principles while it describes very practical keys to banking success.
