We are the largest dedicated professional membership body for bankers in the UK. We help bankers and banks embed a culture of ethical and professional standards, and meet the requirements of the new regulatory regimes.

This joint Chartered Banker Institute/Chartered Insurance Institute webinar will consider the future of skills in financial services, and especially how the work of the new Financial Services Skills Commission working alongside financial services organisations, professional bodies and others will help to close the skills gap in UK financial services.

Closing the skills gap in financial services post Covid-19

In response to a call from G20 leaders, the Financial Stability Board established the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to enhance transparency on the financial risks to investors from climate change which have subsequently published guidelines for voluntary, consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures covering the physical, liability and transition risks associated with climate change. Scenario analysis is being recommended as an important tool to assess the potential implications of these climate related risks and opportunities. However, a TCFD survey found that companies find scenario analysis the most challenging aspect of TCFD, due to a lack of data, and a lack of standardised metrics and targets. As such, companies have often avoided disclosing the results of scenario analysis, and the assumptions that have fed into the process.
With data gaps acting as a barrier for better climate-related scenario analysis and disclosure, financial services firms have been seeking alternative sources. The ability of satellites to deliver global data on the Earth system, providing long-term and consistent Earth Observation (EO) datasets enable identification of significant trends and patterns. The talk will cover the range of space-enabled climate datasets and tools, often used in combination with other data sources, that can support quantitative scenario analyses and thus enable financial services firms to better analyse their climate risk, disclose their exposure and assess impact of green investment in a more robust and meaningful way.

What’s one thing which impacts your mood, your stress levels, your levels of anxiety, and even your digestion? 
Any hunches? (pun intended)
It’s your posture. How you sit, stand and move can affect all the above. And especially during this current situation, when we’re moving less and sitting at desks, we can suffer from more aches and pains, a lack of motivation, increased irritability and more. 

This hour long webinar will help you understand the common postural issues we face when sitting down for long periods of time, as well as practical tips and exercises to help you improve this. 
In addition, I’ll also be sharing easy-to-implement changes and lifestyle techniques to help you feel stronger, healthier and happier - all without leaving your home.

Staying strong, healthy and happy at home

Keeping the world’s finances moving: Insights and data trends of banks back office operations during turbulent times

Over the last three weeks banking operations have gone through a radical transformation. What was unthinkable in February has become the new normal in April. Through this period, the vital services provided by banks to society have continued largely uninterrupted. 

But whilst the mechanics of home working appear to be solved, how are operations really performing? As we begin to think about the future of banking operations, what challenges and opportunities lie ahead?

In this Webinar ActiveOps, whose software supports operational control and capacity planning for many of the worlds outsourcers and banks, reveal what the data is telling us about the change that has happened and its impact on productivity and capacity. As differences in performance between organisations emerge, what will make the difference between surviving and thriving?

Keeping the world’s finances moving

With a raft of UK Government support packages announced in response to the Coronavirus over the past few weeks, including the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS); this webinar will look at how UK banks and bankers are working with Government, business and society to respond to this fast moving situation and the challenges they are facing. This webinar will also consider if banks and their leaders have learned lessons from the financial crisis in 2008 and should take the opportunity this Coronavirus crisis presents to build a “new social contract” between themselves and society.

How are UK banks and bankers responding to the Coronavirus Crisis?

- Understanding the challenge from a statistical perspective
- Exercises: understanding your personal values, finding your purpose, building your support network, setting out your action plan & turning lock down to your advantage
- Incremental gains to make life easier (both during lock down and in everyday life)
- Making yourself accountable for your action plan, setting realistic goals

Keeping your career on track while working & parenting

In today’s business environment, with increasing competition, pressure from regulation and the drive towards more responsible banking practices, the need to continuously improve the way banking operates is no-more an option, rather an essential business requirement. The culture and ways of working within banking needs to change and adapt, but how do you effectively drive this change?
This webinar will look at why a culture of continuous business and operational improvement is increasingly important in order to drive more responsible and professional banking practices, increased business agility, efficiency and build a culture of business excellence. Whilst large scale transformation programmes present initial gains, they are often highly disruptive and often fail to drive a sustainable change in working practices, principles and behaviours required. Continuous Improvement offers a realistic and achievable alternative method to drive the best practice and culture change needed within the banking sector.

Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement in Financial Services

The consequences of our impact upon the planet are already being felt today. A major cause of the problem is our insatiable consumption habit, which is responsible for four fifths of Scotland’s carbon emissions.

When you consider the energy required to grow, make, process, transport and provide materials, we can no longer drain natural and limited resources to make products that are used for a short time before being thrown away. Disposability is often the most convenient option, but when products are designed to be used once, or replaced after a short time, then it’s the planet, and ultimately all of us, who lose out. In addition, this constant hunger for new materials to find and extract raw materials triggers a range of environmental issues, from deforestation and loss of species and habitat to water scarcity and plastic pollution. Under media and public scrutiny, it’s time for us to turn away from a linear system towards a circular economy where everything has value and nothing is wasted.

Zero Waste Scotland’s Chief Finance Officer, Lynn Murray discusses the opportunities for businesses presented by the circular economy and what that means for investors and financiers, from new business models to closer relationships with customers.

Whose future? The Financial Choices facing Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials

The Financial Conduct Authority published a discussion paper in May 2019 looking at how consumers’ financial needs are changing and especially at how financial choices interact with the constraints of the generation you were born into – Boomer, Gen X or Millennial.
In this webcast economist Hilary Cooper will seek to illuminate further the issues that affect each of these generations as they plan their spending, saving and wealth accumulation over their working lives and into retirement and old age. It will challenge and dispel a number of myths along the way.
