This Pivot proposes an integrated approach to facilitate competency development in a more comprehensive way. It examines this approach in the important but seldom studied context of risk management in banks.
Risk management weaknesses in banks have persisted in spite of regulatory changes. This Pivot takes inspiration from three unlikely sports heroes to create the proposed integrated approach to risk management competency development, bringing together three competency development concepts hitherto studied in isolation that are more comprehensive and more effective when combined.
The author studies the integrated approach under three specific objectives. The concepts are first operationalized into 23 actionable indicators through literature reviews and experts' reaffirmation. Then, the t-test and discriminant analysis are used to identify how banks across different demographic groups place different emphases on these indicators. Lastly, these indicators are summarized into key themes via factor analysis.

"It should be required reading for those in leadership at banks, bank regulators, investors in banks, banking sector equity analysts, and investment bankers globally. It has broad implications that sector participants need to heed - in particular, concerning the competency and continuity of risk management development at all levels of professional experience in a bank, regardless of where it is domiciled, even including entrepreneurial institutions."
