Hundreds more executives will be sent to San Francisco over the next four years as part of what Mr Clyne has described as "a significant investment in enterprise leadership and capability". Mr Wright said the bank had looked at other cities to locate the program but settled on San Francisco because it was the most convenient and cost-effective location. He refused to comment on how much the program was costing the bank but industry sources said that two-week management courses tailored for companies of NAB’s size by US training outfits usually commanded fees ofaround $US30000($39000) a head. When travel costs are added this means the program has already cost the bank at least $2 million this year. "We did the costs on running the program in Australia and parts of Asia and found that San Francisco was the most cost-effective" Mr Wright said. Finance Sector Union spokesman Rod Masson said it was "a bit rich" the bank’s senior managers were being indulged. He also questioned the wisdom of NAB adopting Harvard-style management techniques following the demise of the US financial system in the past two years.
