Excerpt from Financial Times -- ""This enthusiasm for fintech has left universities and business schools racing to keep up with the knowledge, skills and competencies required.

It aims to cover topics ranging from programming for data to platform strategy, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, machine learning in finance, and leadership in fintech."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Stern offers multiple experiential learning programs, which are called Stern Solutions projects or courses. Here, you’re not only learning, you’re doing. For example, Tech & the City gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a successful early-stage tech company and learn the ins-and-outs of growing it. It’s a great way to experience what it’s like to work in a startup without all of the risks."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Learning about business in the global center of commerce seemed like a total no brainer to me. The number of spontaneous opportunities that come from being in New York City astounded me. From part-time professors who double as executives at Fortune 500 companies, to the wealth of in-semester internships simply by proximity, and to guest lecturers who are inevitably in NYC on a regular basis, I can’t imagine a better place to get a deep experiential business education than in the heart of Manhattan."

Excerpt from Executive Courses -- "NYU Stern School of Business runs a course called Inclusive Leadership: Addressing Unconscious Bias to Build Stronger, Diverse Teams, which emphasizes the advancement of women and people of color. Participants develop an inclusive leadership mindset, with a focus on working with others across various dimensions of diversity — including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and age."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Tell us about an “only at McKinsey” moment you’ve had so far. I feel like these happen all the time. I am consistently surprised at the background of many of the people that I work with.  I regularly encounter people who have really impressive backgrounds – former professional athletes, professional musicians, and more."

Excerpt from Busines of Fashion -- “The two areas to highlight are sustainability and DEI initiatives because these are drivers that determine which companies a candidate is going to choose. [Still] I think it would be naive to expect companies to have made all these changes — they are tremendous and require real structural shifts with new people in the leadership roles.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "NYU Stern’s location in the heart of the business capital of the world, New York, was the biggest reason I decided to attend NYU Stern. While many other institutions could provide a great network of people and education, I thought that Stern would allow me to truly immerse myself in the dynamic and always-moving business scene of a global city. I was also very impressed with Stern’s emphasis on leading change, which resonated with my entrepreneurial passion."

Excerpt from Town & Country -- “We have found that because our students come in as senior executives with significant work experience (an average of 14 years), and they submit transcripts from undergraduate and graduate programs, along with any certifications they might have earned, we already have enough data points to measure academic preparedness for the program without a standardized test score,” Neha Singhal, assistant dean for executive degree programs, admissions, and marketing at NYU Stern, said in a statement. “In fact, we have found that the data points based on work experience and academic performance are a better indicator of a student's success in the program versus a standardized test score.”

This workshop draws on the best fundamental and applied thinking about the financial architecture drawing on academic and practitioner research and networks. It tries to look over the horizon at what is likely to come next based on the best available thinking.
