The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
African banking is being repriced by mobile rails, instant payments, platform competitors and rising supervision — simultaneously. Institutions built for branches and margins are being asked to compete on rails and data. This ten-day academy is a complete transformation journey for banking leaders: the economics of the new landscape, the architecture of the response, and the governance to carry it through.

What you will be able to do

- Read capital, liquidity and risk like an operator, not a reporter.
- Lead a transformation agenda that regulators and boards will both endorse.
The IPAT Course Standard
The ten-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps. The ten-day format runs as two five-day residencies, extending the journey into institutional implementation.
IPAT Signature Case™
Deposits Leave at the Speed of a Rumour
A viral post questions a pan-African insurer’s solvency. The institution is sound, but its deposit base is concentrated and its app is the third-slowest in the market. By morning, the interbank line has tightened.
Your decision: Set the 72-hour posture — liquidity, communication and regulator engagement — with incomplete information about how far the run goes.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a development finance institution cannot see where its book is quietly deteriorating.
Dataset: Synthetic loan-book panel for a development finance institution: 80,000 facilities across segments with vintage and behaviour data.
Your task: Segment the portfolio, find concentration and deterioration, and design the repricing and workout response.
