Format: Three modules plus coaching sessions
The program combines three in-person modules with individual and group coaching between the modules. Modules 1 and 2 will be hosted by
a GABV member bank, and module 3 by the MIT Community Innovators Lab and the Presencing Institute in Cambridge, USA.
Throughout the eight months, participants will: Develop and advance their leadership capacity in the context of values-based banking; Learn about and explore a wide variety of valuesbased banking models and financial innovations; Develop personal and cultural skills; Practice innovation techniques and initiate individual change projects; Explore societal challenges and innovative solutions to address them; Each of the three modules has two parts:
Part I is focused on discussions with thought leaders and innovators, and includes learning journeys to places of innovation and clients of values-based banks.
Part II of each module explores concepts and theories on leadership, values-based banking, and innovation, and has a strong focus on personaland reflective leadership practices as well as on tools and best practices, including state of the art leadership approaches.
Organizational Support and Communication
We recommend that organizations send team or several individuals from one organization. In addition, the Human Development Group of the GABV recommends a close communication between the participants of the program, their team members, colleagues and their direct reports at home about the purpose and the content of the program. The facilitators of the Leadership Academy will support participants’ interaction and communication with their respective organizations by providing guidance and learning materials. The members of the GABV Human Development group will also provide guidance.
