Second Meeting of the ISFB Observatory Committee – Video 1
In this video, Dr. Erwan Bellard and Prof. Nathalie Delobbe from the University of Geneva, along with Prof. Eric Davoine from the University of Fribourg, discuss the value of having an ISFB Observatory dedicated to banking and finance professions in French-speaking Switzerland. They explain why such an initiative helps provide a better understanding of how these professions are evolving, the skills required, and training needs in French-speaking Switzerland.
Innovation as the ability to adapt
In a banking and financial environment that is constantly evolving, the ISFB must both provide services that are useful to its members today and devote part of its energy to understanding what may be needed tomorrow in terms of skills development. Innovation is not a constant disruption; it is an organized capacity for adaptation, serving the mission of the Institute and its ecosystem.

Revue de presse L'IA n'enseigne pas, elle révèle notre rapport au savoir {post_date} L’irruption de l'intelligence artificielle accélère l’apprentissage et affine les pratiques, sans remplacer l’expérience qui construit la compétence. L’intelligence artificielle (IA) entre dans nos apprentissages avec une vitesse inédite: elle amplifie nos réflexes, nos motivations et notre rapport au savoir. Mais elle ne remplace ni la rencontre, ni la réflexion, ni l’expérience partagée — ces éléments qui transforment réellement la compétence.
