Why This Masterclass

  • Compliance-First Design — MAS Project MindForge: The MAS AI Risk Management Toolkit was released in March 2026. We are the ONLY training globally that integrates this four-pillar framework into hands-on exercises. Your team will complete a materiality assessment and governance self-assessment aligned with FEAT principles and the upcoming AIRM guidelines.
  • Citizen Developer Skills — Vibe Coding Lab: In 135 minutes, your finance team builds a working financial dashboard from natural language prompts — no coding experience needed. Using Claude Code, participants go from "I want a variance analysis tool" to a deployed web app. No competitor offers this.
  • Computer Use Agents — Live Demo: See AI control your actual desktop in real time. Claude Dispatch (March 2026) lets you assign tasks from your phone while AI navigates Excel, SAP, email, and ERP systems on your Mac. We compare this with OpenAI’s Operator and map both to MAS governance requirements. No other training teaches this.
  • No-Code Automation — Working AP Pipeline: Teams build a complete accounts payable automation: email trigger → invoice extraction → approval routing → ERP posting. They leave with a working pipeline, not a PowerPoint about automation.
  • MCP for Finance — The Universal AI Connector: Model Context Protocol is the new standard for connecting AI to enterprise tools (10,000+ servers, adopted by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot). We teach teams to design MCP-connected agents that monitor financial data, with live demos of Claude-to-Excel integration.
  • Real-Time Gamification Platform: TransformLab.ai provides live scoring, leaderboards, AI-powered feedback, and module tracking. Teams compete across completion, quality, engagement, and speed for a maximum of 1,000 points. Seven excellence awards are presented on Day 3.

The Strategic Imperative

AI is reshaping financial services at unprecedented speed. DBS Bank generated S$1 billion in economic value from AI in 2025. Bank of Singapore cut KYC processing from 10 days to 1 hour with AI agents. MAS released the AI Risk Management Toolkit (Project MindForge) on March 24, 2026. Your team needs to move from awareness to action — now.

This programme equips your finance professionals with the skills, tools, and governance frameworks to deploy AI responsibly and productively — with Singapore’s regulatory environment built into every exercise.
