DOHA: QNB has recently participated in the Harvard Business School’s Leadership Development Programme for banks, which was themed “Leading Strategy Implementation in the Banking Sector” and was targeted toward executive managers.
The programme consisted of two main axes which are “Strategic Management” and “Leadership”, and witnessed the participation of a number of executive managers, representing different departments in the bank. Harvard Business School provides a special programme for the development of executive leaders from banks and financial institutions operating in GCC countries. It is organised on a rotating basis each year in a Gulf country, with a plan to expand its scope regionally.
Nada Al Ansari, Executive Manager, QNB Centers of Excellence, said that it is implemented in accordance with the high standards applied by Harvard Business School to these kinds of programmes in its US headquarters. Al Ansari also explained that it is based on the study of practical situations which the school is well-known for and that is being used by distinguished universities and training centers to develop the performance of executives around the world. She added: “QNB’s participation in this program comes in the framework of the Group’s constant keenness to develop national cadres, particularly executive leadership. Developing the performance of national cadres in the bank will remain a top strategic priority due to the importance of this category in realising sustainable development”.
QNB believes it is important that the human resources capabilities and potential continue to meet the Group’s growing operational requirements as it constantly works to find innovative means to develop programmes for current and new staff in order to ensure the provision of the best talents and cadres in Qatar and across its international footprint.The Peninsula
