From Adoption to Internalization of Generative AI in the Workplace: A Dialogue Between Educational Sciences and Psychology – Chapter 2
There is a gap between the adoption of a technology and its integration into daily work—a gap that the humanities and social sciences are well acquainted with. Using a tool does not necessarily mean adopting it. Adoption refers to a deeper process, during which professionals experiment, adjust their practices, redefine their frame of reference, and gradually make sense of new ways of working.

ISFB Insight Print: The magazine for skills development in the banking and financial ecosystem of French-speaking Switzerland
The quarterly print publication features analyses, interviews, and opinion pieces on trends in the banking and finance industries.
The quarterly publication is distributed free of charge to ISFB member institutions, which may make it available to their staff, clients, or partners—particularly in their reception areas, lounges, waiting rooms, or reception areas.
Individuals can also receive the magazine as part of their ISFB Hub membership.
Since January 2023, ISFB Insight Online has primarily been an online publication. Articles, interviews, opinion pieces, newsletters, and social media posts keep pace with current events, industry trends, and ideas circulating in the French-speaking Swiss financial community. It’s all about immediacy: delivering information quickly, picking up on signals, sparking reactions, and gauging what captures attention. ISFB Insight Print operates on a different timeline. Print curates, compiles, and slows things down. It gives certain texts greater longevity, more space to certain voices, and greater weight to reflections that deserve to be preserved, reread, and shared. Digital media drives the momentum; print preserves the record. Between these two formats, different timeframes intersect. Some content remains available exclusively online to maintain its direct link to current events and extend the reading experience. Other articles, written by members for members, find their place solely in the print edition. ISFB Insight thus bridges the gap between the rapid circulation of ideas and the more enduring preservation of contributions.

Career Development What Do We Know About Continuing Education? {post_date} When it comes to skills development, one of the major challenges today is learning to manage the flow of knowledge rather than managing a stock of knowledge that is bound to become obsolete. Learning must be a lifelong process. Sometimes, newly acquired knowledge is already obsolete before it is even used for the first time, and there is sometimes no choice but to apply skills before they are fully refined. Metacompetence, understood as the ability to assess the stage of development of one’s skills and...

In the age of AI, the financial sector needs well-trained specialists more than ever
Artificial intelligence is already transforming the finance industry. But it does not make technical expertise any less important, nor does it relegate people to a secondary role. On the contrary: the more widespread access to information becomes, the more value shifts toward those who can combine a mastery of the fundamentals with sound judgment, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to learn continuously.

Skills for career development in banking and finance
The banking and financial sector in French-speaking Switzerland, particularly in Geneva, is a key pillar of the regional economy. According to the 2025 Banking Barometer published by the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA), the banking workforce has continued to grow. For 2025, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) forecasts a slight recovery in economic growth to 1.3%, driven by solid domestic demand and the recent decline in the Swiss franc—but given the current situation, these forecasts are highly uncertain.
