(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- The INSEAD alumni community in Muscat welcomed Peter Nathanial and Professor Ludo Van der Heyden, both INSEAD faculty, who visited Oman at the request of Bank Muscat.
On this occasion, they held a conference at the Bank Muscat head office to debate governance with some esteemed bank executives and INSEAD alumni.
A number of topics were discussed, including INSEAD having been rated #1 MBA programme in the world two years in a row (in what is a contest typically amongst US business schools), and the school now having developed a main offering in governance.
Nathanial presented his insights and lessons from over 20 years in corporate restructuring at Citigroup and The Royal Bank of Scotland, amongst others, and in restructuring defaulted sovereign debt such as Argentina and Russia.
INSEAD's national alumni contact in Muscat, Vijai Gill welcomed the INSEAD delegation, attendees from the bank and the alumni community. He introduced Ahmed al Abri, chief operating officer of Bank Muscat, as one of the earliest Omanis to attend INSEAD's prestigious Advanced Management Programme. Zeina Sleiman, associate director of alumni and institutional relations, gave an update on INSEAD, including the noteworthiness of its MBA programme being ranked globally #1 for two years in a row.
Professor Heyden, one of INSEAD's longest-serving and most illustrious faculty members, described the creation of INSEAD's Corporate Governance Initiative, having recently been institutionalised as one of INSEAD's distinct centres of competences. This was the school's response to the 2007-08 global financial crisis.
Five years later INSEAD is increasingly being recognised as offering the most complete governance offer amongst the world's largest business schools, including its core International Directors Program offering, centered on director effectiveness, the Leading from the Chair programme, centred on chairperson effectiveness, and the Value Creation for Owners and Directors programme, centred on effectiveness of owners and their directors.
