JWG, the financial services regulation think-tank, is offering a new face-to-face training course supported by the complete library of MiFID II documents now loaded onto RegDelta, its data management platform.

To date, 750,000 paragraphs of MiFID II text have been loaded onto RegDelta and enriched with 400 hours' worth of comments from large firms that are facing the implementation deadline in 2017. The course is designed to outline the main issues, put them in context to understand the risks and show the pupil how to manage them. It begins next month in London.

Apparently, JWG is using crowdsourcing to "spot deltas and navigate the evolving MiFID II landscape," according to its marketing department. The course is available to a broad spectrum of staff, ranging from change functions to senior managers.

The firms that can adapt to MiFID II's 30+ interdependent regualtory initiatives quickly and efficiently will undoubtedly prosper more than others. To this end, JWG is making the large claim that its training will "help organisations spot what is required to change their processes, while telling them the optimal times at which to do so." Applicants might like to question them about this.
