"Ken, your leadership gave it a chance. You put it together in a new country, at a time under difficult circumstances. You pulled it together and made it happen."

"CIBS was a very good project at the right time, when it was most needed by the Turkish banking industry.

It demonstrated the value of having a different vision, diverse course material and varied training methodologies."

"CIBS had a catalytic influence on the banks, waking up the market to the importance of training. Making it clearer that this is what is needed to advance oneself and become better bankers.

CIBS was a good example, a role model for other banks in building their own training capability."

"CIBS was important because many of the change agents in our bank studied there.

It was an important kick to the banks for the importance of training, both inside their own institutions but also tapping expertise outside."
