Retail Bank to Corporate Bank - Can a top notch MBA help ?

I have a decade of experience in consumer bank in the unsecured lending space of one of the largest banks in the globe. Currently I am into an EMBA program of one of the M7s (top 3 school). I want to pivot and move into commercial banking/corporate banking. What should be the right approach ?

Can you try to network out of consumer lending into commercial lending at your bank?  MBA for entry level commercial banking is pointless and a waste of time.
