The Edcomm Group's Banker's Academy Invited to Teach at Burgan Bank in Kuwait

New York, NY, December 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Edcomm Group’s Banker’s Academy has been invited to teach an in-house training course for Burgan Bank in Kuwait this month. Edcomm’s president, Dr. Linda Eagle, will be teaching a course on Operations to an audience of Burgan Bank professionals.

Kuwait is one of the main member states of the Islamic Financial Services Council, which was founded in 2002. Banks within Kuwait must rise to meet the challenge to reconcile their dual roles as business facilitators and financial institutions. The courses provided by Edcomm’s Banker’s Academy will serve to help establish that delicate balance for bankers within the country of Kuwait.

Managing Banking Operations for Productivity and Quality is a hands-on, highly participatory training program that uses applied financial services examples to emphasize the "hard skills" of managing operations, such as Scheduling, Forecasting, Capacity Planning, Functional Job Design, Production Standards, Change Management, Risk Management, Work Flow, Process Improvement, Strategic Planning and Service Quality. The course provides managers and supervisors with the skills to manage their workload using tools, techniques and strategies for attaining increased productivity and quality. These serve as a mechanism to succeed in an environment of ever-evolving technology, sophisticated markets, reorganization and realignment, and new products and services.
