Banking Management and Adaptability

I really appreciated the ISFB's Banking Management and Adaptability program because it tackled the subject in a particularly original way, with top-quality speakers from a wide variety of sectors, such as aviation, music and theater. I also really enjoyed the practical exchanges with the participants and the composition of the group, which really helped to forge links. I highly recommend this program to anyone with management responsibilities or an interest in the subject!

Baptiste Cruvieux, Crédit Agricole next bank (Suisse) SAI'm delighted to have had the opportunity to take this enriching and inspiring course. The quality and diversity of the trainers, who came from worlds far removed from banking - art, aviation, the world of sport - provided me with useful and innovative managerial tools. It was also a pleasure to share convivial moments with the participants of this 2023 intake.
