Abstract

This concluding chapter offers our view on the challenges that bank CEOs will have to address in the near future. The extensive transformations that will overwhelm the banking industry in the years to come will test even the most talented CEO. Those transformations will extend from accepting and investing in the revolutionary technologies that will be part of future banking business models, to design strategic decisions in a fierce and competitive financial sector and at the same time complying with an increasing difficult financial system regulatory framework. At the end, in the way CEOs are recruited, incentivised, retained and compensated will be one of most crucial decision banks have to take to succeed in a competitive, complex and integrated global financial system.
