Overview
In alignment with Saudi Awwal Bank’s strategic mandate and its vision to ‘bring a world of financial opportunities to an ambitious Kingdom,’ Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education is proud to collaborate with SAB to offer 2 comprehensive executive education programmes.
These tailor-made offerings cater to SAB’s senior banking professionals, equipping them to drive growth, navigate change, and adeptly manage future uncertainties.
Empowering senior banking professionals
The Emerging Risk Leadership Programme is a 4-day online programme, specifically designed for senior leaders at SAB who are responsible for future-proofing and strategy setting within the organisation. It focuses on horizon scanning, managing uncertainty and effective decision-making – all with the purpose of preparing leaders for future challenges and uncertainties.
The Senior Leadership Programme is an 8-day, face-to-face programme held in Cambridge. Developed for senior leaders from various functions across the bank, the curriculum has been formulated across 3 key pillars: strategising for the future, driving growth, and enhancing performance. These pillars cover topics as varied as strategy cascading, business model innovation and cultures of excellence.
The programme allows SAB leaders to learn through exposure to world-leading thought leadership and hands on experiential learning, including a NASA-style leadership simulation. This supports their professional development and the bank’s renewed strategy for growth and success. These programmes empower SAB’s senior leaders to thrive in an ever-evolving financial landscape, ensuring their readiness to lead change and foster growth across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
We collaborated with Cambridge Judge Business School to equip our senior leaders with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly complex financial landscape. The programmes offered have been transformative, enabling our leaders to approach challenges with a fresh perspective and innovative solutions. The offering of both online and in-person learning has been particularly effective, and we are already seeing the positive impact on our strategic initiatives and commissioning repeat learning solutions.

The programme was filled with energy and thinking outside of the box in real life situations. It was really great making sure that each session related to working life. This was a well-structured programme featuring truly excellent faculty; it was a unique experience for me.
Collaborating with SAB has been a fantastic journey of co-creation. Their forward-thinking approach and openness to new ideas have made developing these programmes truly rewarding. We have crafted a curriculum that resonates with their needs but challenges traditional norms. Seeing the genuine enthusiasm and growth in SAB's leaders throughout the process has been incredibly fulfilling.
