在这个异常变化的时代,要管理8万6千多名员工,如何进行领导力建设?2014年,中国第五大银行,交通银行委托剑桥大学交付高管教育课程,阐释交行高管该怎样推进创新、增强战略管理、提升领导力。

为期6天的课程提高了学员对商业运营环境中各类变化的认识,指出了气候变化、人口变化或水可获得性等非传统议题会如何(直接和通过贷款账簿)给交行带来风险和机遇。课程吸取了来自专业学者、思想领袖和企业的见解,分析了预期并且适应这些变化所需的一些软技能,进而与客户构建不同的对话。

课程结束时,学员一致认为,对不断变化的商业环境若没有深刻理解,就不可能成为有效的领导者。学员负责人尹先生表示

 

剑桥课程说明了社会和环境变化会给我们的业务带来哪些影响。重要的是,课程突出强调了我们需要采取何种战略方式来应对,阐明了我们应该如何做,才能使我们的客户具备处理这一复杂事项的能力,实现不断发展”。

课程专为实现交行的商业雄心而设计。剑桥大学可持续领导力研究所(CISL)还使交行人力资源部的代表以及3E参与进来。3E是北京一家专业的培训中心,旨在确保课程内容切题,延伸广。此次课程旨在补充和与一个聚焦实际管理议题的2周项目相衔接。

课程使学员了解了剑桥大学的生活。每天的内容都经过精心设计,集合了剑桥专业学者、行业专家、政策制定者的各类讲演,同时提供机会,开展分组讨论、书面个案研究和辩论。授课地点位于剑桥大学历史悠久的三一学堂,学员还到访了国王学院和唐宁学院。

学员负责人尹先生表示

在剑桥的时光非常难忘。它教会我们如何提高交行领导力,帮助我们从不同角度思考未来。我将永远珍惜这段经历”。

 


How do you create leadership capacity to manage over 86,000 employees during times of exceptional change? In 2014, the China’s fifth-largest bank, the Bank of Communications, commissioned an executive education programme to demonstrate how executives could promote innovation, strategic management and leadership within the Bank.

The six-day course raised awareness of changes in the business operating context and identified how non-traditional issues such as climate change, demographic change or water availability present risks and opportunities to the Bank (directly and through its lending book). It examined some of the soft skills required to anticipate and adapt to these changes, drawing on expertise from academics, thought-leaders and business, to structure different types of conversations with clients.

At the end of the programme, participants collectively agreed that it was impossible to be effective leaders without a deep understanding of the changing business context.

The Cambridge course showed the impacts of changes within society and the environment on our business” explained the Head of the Delegation, Mr Yin. ”Importantly, it highlighted what our strategic approach needs to be and demonstrated how we can equip our clients with the ability to deal with this complexity and continue to grow.”

This programme was designed specifically to meet the Bank’s commercial ambition. CISL engaged representatives of the Bank’s Human Resource function as well as 3E, a professional training centre based in Beijing to make sure the content was relevant and stretching. The days in Cambridge were designed to complement and dovetail with a 2 week programme focused on practical management issues.

The programme gave participants an insight into life in Cambridge. Days were structured to combine lectures from University academics, industry experts and policy-makers, as well as providing opportunities for discussion in small groups, written case studies and debate. It was delivered at one of the oldest Colleges, Trinity Hall, and participants also spent time at Kings College and Downing.

My time in Cambridge was unforgettable. It taught us how to enhance our leadership at the Bank as well as helping us think differently about the future. I will always treasure this experience.”
