National Savings Bank appreciating the role and value that a solid and sound training provides for its future managers has embarked on a learning relationship with PIM, and the focus has fallen upon its AGMs, Grade I and II officers to grasp the tricks of the trade through the PIM tailor made course on Management Development Program, which will focus in empowering the future managers of National Savings Bank.

The program designed by the PIM is expected to assist National Savings Bank to expand its managers towards making them effective leaders at functional levels, and equip them with the decision-making skills required to expand their leadership capacity. The program would also deepen their understanding of core business functions, and improve their ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, amid challenging local and global markets. Amongst the modules included in the program Change and Complexity Management, Innovation and creativity as well as Quality and Productivity Management would, for certain, make the participants come to grips with the changing business scenario, unlike the more generic modules which teach the basics of day-to-day management. NSB Chairperson W.A. Nalini emphasised the fact that the key managers of NSB should work towards improving the overall performance of the bank. National Savings Bank GM/CEO S.D.N. Perera addressing the audience stressed the importance of developing competencies in order to face the increasing competitive environment. PIM former Director Professor K.B.M. Fonseka, who graced the inaugural session, spelt out the main objectives of the program as well as the expectations of both the company and the PIM.
