Boulder Institute provides an incomparable experience.  We designed all sessions to support your ability to participate in and guide strategic decisions on important topics for financial inclusion when you return home.

All our programs will focus on the latest innovations and core practices for:

  • obtaining and retaining clients through client centric practice,
  • managing the process of digitalizing operations that transform our business models,
  • benchmarking financial performance, ratings, and certifications, and,
  • managing risk.

Our Masterclass series will cover hot topics like climate change resiliency, gender specific opportunities, open banking, over indebtedness in competitive markets, and rural financial services.

Everyone participates in our Masterclass series the first hour of each morning. Then you choose one elective course for the remainder of the morning and one for the afternoon. These electives will run from Monday through Thursday. On Friday, participants will switch to another elective course for a 2.5-hour intensive seminar on one of the other topics. This will allow everyone to experience a variety of topics at different levels of intensiveness during your stay.

Please contact us quickly to start the registration process, especially if you need to acquire a visa to come to Italy for the English MFT program.  We are limiting the size of this year’s programs for logistical reasons and will receive participants on a first come first serve basis.
