The 2012 Harvard Business School-ACCION Program on Strategic Leadership for Microfinance
About the Event:
The six-day Harvard Business School-ACCION Program on Strategic Leadership in Microfinance offers leaders from around the world an exceptional opportunity to connect with peers while engaging with some of the HBS faculty's foremost thinkers in business strategy and management.
Building on six highly successful years, the 2012 course offers for a curriculum for all financial inclusion leaders – from microfinance practitioners and conventional commercial banks to investors and regulators – engaged in expanding financial services to under-served clients around the world. In the past six years, HBS and ACCION have brought together leaders from more than 70 countries – including over 60 CEOs from some of the field’s leading MFIs.
The 2012 course marries the best in strategic business thinking with the most important advances in microfinance through:
- An intensive immersion in the microfinance industry and the operations of leading MFIs;
- Addressing key challenges of doing business at the base of the financial sector, including succeeding in highly competitive financial sectors, maintaining a social focus in a commercial setting, and evolving products and delivery channels;
- Engaging participants in discussing the experience of leading institutions through the case method approach pioneered by HBS.
This will be attended by executives of institutions – from MFIs to private sector commercial banks to service providers, regulators and investors engaged in financial inclusion.
