It provides tools and guidance that managers can use to improve the strategy, marketing, risk management, organizational architecture, efficiency and productivity of their unit, branch or institution. The package aims at providing the learner with quick and “ready to use” learning pills, which should be “digestible” from anywhere.

Its holistic approach helps prepare managers for the complexity that comes with their jobs.
