BIMT and AIT deliver leadership training for Commercial Bank staff in Thailand

BIMT Campus, in collaboration with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) Extension, Thailand, has expanded its corporate footprint by conducting a specialised Professional Development Programme on Women Leadership in the Banking Sector for executives of Commercial Bank of Ceylon. The international programme was held in Thailand from 22 to 28 June 2026.

The initiative marked a key milestone in the partnership between BIMT Campus and AIT Extension, with the delegation from Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC participating as the inaugural batch under this executive leadership programme.

Over the seven-day programme, participants engaged in an intensive learning experience covering Strategic Leadership, Interpersonal Intelligence, Organisational Synergy, Executive Communication, Sustainable Leadership, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Digital Transformation. The programme also included study visits, where participants gained insights into customer centric innovation, digital banking technologies and service excellence.

The learning journey featured executive talks, simulation sessions, interactive workshops, panel discussions, group presentations, networking opportunities and a cultural visit, enabling participants to combine academic learning with international exposure and cross cultural engagement.

Delivered by experienced facilitators from AIT Extension and industry experts from leading financial institutions in Thailand, the programme provided participants with practical knowledge and global perspectives to strengthen leadership capabilities in the rapidly evolving banking sector.

The initiative reflects the shared vision of BIMT Campus and AIT Extension to provide Sri Lankan professionals with access to internationally recognised executive education and leadership development opportunities.

Through this strategic partnership, the two institutions continue to empower professionals with the skills, knowledge and global outlook required to drive innovation, resilience and sustainable growth in Sri Lanka’s banking industry.
