Wealth management & Investment

Romain DEGUEST from IÉSEG has co-authored this book on goal-based investing (GBI), a new paradigm that is expected to have a profound and long-lasting impact on the wealth management industry. It refers to the use of personalized solutions to help individual investors (e.g. buying a property or retiring) and financial advisors meet their/clients’ financial objectives within a given time frame. The book presents the concept of GBI in detail and introduces a general operational framework that can be used by financial advisors to help individual investors optimally allocate their wealth by identifying performance-seeking assets used to increase their portfolio’s return and hedging assets used to control the potential risks that their portfolio is exposed to.

Artificial Intelligence
- “Managing AI Wisely: From Development to Organizational Change in Practice” (Edward Elgar Publishing): Lauren Waardenburg, (IÉSEG), Marleen Huysman, Marlous Agterberg (KIN Center for Digital Innovation, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam).
Over the last years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been rapidly introduced into the workplace, across different sectors and job functions. While companies are using AI to generate value, its implementation has also created challenges not only in terms of the technology itself, but also in terms of workplace organization and culture, and the ethical questions that it can raise. Together with her co-authors, Professor Waardenburg from IÉSEG has been studying eight organizations’ experiences of implementing and using AI, to shed light on what is really happening in practice. The book addresses the challenges of implementing AI: organizing for data, testing and validating, algorithmic brokering, and changing work. Using a combination of existing literature and thorough practical examples, it provide answers to questions such as: What data do I need? When is a system good enough to actually take over tasks? And how can my employees be prepared for working with AI?
