Test your risk management decision-making instincts and learn in a highly interactive international setting
The Bank Management Games Conference is a revolutionary conference format designed to help risk management professionals in Asian commercial banks rehearse in detail the different possible scenarios they will be confronted with and prepare for better decision making skills.
The Conference is made up of three different sets of activities:
Keynote speeches, presentations and onstage dialogues by industry leaders practitioners
Three scenario-based simulation-based exercises with game and discussions on: - Capital and Liquidity Risks - Market and Derivatives Risks - Risk Appetite and Pricing
Lunch and dinner presentations by industry leaders and partner organisations
The Bank Management Games is an Interactive Learning Conference
For the discussions on the three key areas, the session begins with a simulation exercise.
Each delegate is required to bring his or her own laptop. All delegates will be grouped into teams of four, where possible. The teams will be briefed on each simulation exercise and given the parameters of the bank whose balance sheet or operations they will be required to manage.
Teams will be required to enter their responses into a simulation programme, which will then be assessed by the advisors.
After the results are computed, the delegates will discuss the implementation issues they faced and the relationship with real life decisions they have to make.
The advisors will then give their overall assessment, following which there will be a general discussion on the issues.
Objectives of The Bank Management Games Conference
To test different economic scenarios in 2013 with peers from different countries.
To learn from global best practice leaders
As a team building exercise for your bank’s own risk management team.
