2010 Programs:
Mass Insight, on behalf of the Boston Financial Services Leadership group, is working with the Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia of the Harvard Kennedy School and other leading Massachusetts universities and industry partners to propose a unique leadership program requested by the Shanghai Municipal Government.
The program is designed for a mixed group of U.S. and Chinese financial services executives and government officials who will work together to build understanding, shape the environment and objectives for policy in the U.S. and China, and establish new partnerships through sustained networks of industry, government and university leaders. The Shanghai Municipal Government will be selecting and sponsoring 25 Chinese participants from both government and industry. Additional participants will be sent by an exclusive group of Western company sponsors with bases in China.
2009 Programs:
Mass Insight organized a leadership program at the request of the Beijing Municipal Government for a selected group of 25 Beijing financial services industry executives and government officials from October 28 to November 18, 2009. The program included visits to Silicon Valley and New York, and a two-week classroom program in Boston held at the Boston Federal
Reserve and the Harvard Kennedy School.
The curriculum considered the development and competitive advantages of leading financial centers and U.S. models of financial industry growth to help participants better envision paths for Beijing to maintain and enhance its status as a financial
services leader. Experiential learning through visits to leading American financial
services organizations were an important part of the program.
