Financial Services
Banks have had to struggle with major challenges in the last ten years, mainly linked to the legacy of the financial crisis, but also due to decisive changes in the economic, technological, social and demographic context. Growing financial, economic and geopolitical factors, as well as the need to continue strengthening society’s trust reflect the need to take a new approach to the very essence of the banking industry or at least to adopt significant changes in bank management.
To help shape an understanding and brace for what is to come, IESE delivers a series of global events – such as the IESE Banking Industry Meeting – and top-ranked Focused and Custom Programs that bring leaders from around the world together to exchange knowledge and build the strategic tools to manage change. Our Chairs and Research Centers, like the Center for International Finance strive to develop new tools and models to respond to market changes and the effects they have on business.
