Managing a Bank: Understanding It to Oversee It Better

Since the Credit Suisse crisis, there has been renewed focus on bank governance: the roles of governing bodies, risk management, and oversight. For a board of directors, these expectations directly impact its ability to understand, ask questions, and make decisions. This ability cannot be improvised; it must be developed and maintained.

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.

AI and finance: moving beyond the false human versus machine debate

February 9, 2026|Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence|

ISFB Insight {post_terms,type:category,parents:yes,separator: | ,link:yes} IA et finance: dépasser le faux débat humain contre machine {post_date} Ces derniers mois, plusieurs nouvelles plateformes et usages de l’intelligence artificielle ont largement fait parler d’eux. Souvent spectaculaires, parfois provocateurs, ils interrogent sur l’avenir du travail, sur la place de l’humain face aux systèmes automatisés, et sur les risques de substitution ou de perte d’emploi. Ces débats, très médiatisés, tendent toutefois à simplifier excessivement les enjeux, en les réduisant à une opposition entre l’humain et la machine. Dans un précédent article publié sur ISFB Insight, nous proposions ...
