In collaboration with CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA THEME: CBN/FITC 2014 Continuous Education Programme for Directors of Banks and Other Financial Institutions ( A special 30th year of board leadership training edition) years of Directors’ Training Venue: Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos Date: 14 – 15 October, 2014 Background: In the late 1990s, market issues such as business strategy, corporate finance and products related variables were the central focus of most banks. However, increasing attention to softer business issues such as ethics, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, sustainability and corporate brand essence now pose new challenges to bank boards in recent times. An overview of the themes of various FITC Board-level workshops and seminars from 1985 to date, reflect this subtle shift in issues for the Board. For instance, the recent global financial crises has increased the focus on the role of the board, the need for board effectiveness in driving organizational performance in a sustainable manner. As such, drawing on our holistic approach to such policy level issues applicable to financial institutions over the past three decades of director training, this special 2014 edition of the Continuous Education Programme (CEP) for directors of banks and other financial institutions, will seek to address the need for board effectiveness for sustainable value creation.
