The full-day conference, 'The Productivity Challenge', is designed for financial services firms, education and training providers and all those involved with the financial services industry. It takes place on 14 October 2005 at the QEII Conference Centre in Westminster, London.

The relationship between productivity, skills development and leadership are recurring themes in a conference agenda which includes presentations from US expert Dr Laurie Bassi on improving your organisation's return on investing in people, and from Stuart Bernau, commercial & treasury director at Nationwide and Nigel Crouch of the DTI Innovation Group, on what makes an inspiring leader.
