International organisations are already recommending the programme, including Commercialbank, which considers Omega’s learning programme a key element to their ongoing efforts to enhance skills and performance. Recently, 20 select staff received their diplomas upon course completion at a special recognition dinner. According to Commercialbank Corporate Banking head Steve Mullins, ‘Passing Omega demonstrates that our staff can meet the standards required to maintain a healthy loan portfolio and further understand and anticipate ongoing customer needs…[it] is a great achievement and provides a solid platform for world class banking ability.’
Brian Weaver, Omega Managing Director (EMEA), agrees. ‘It is a challenging programme, but it’s a rewarding one and sets you apart from the competition.’ To maximise and measure gain from the learning experience, the CSD Programme includes a rigorous online assessment that shows any bank how it compares in the competitive landscape. ‘That way,’ Weaver says, ‘you have the opportunity to focus your training and turn any perceived weaknesses into strategic advantage.’
