EE5: Shaping the Future of Work with AI

<h5>Back by popular demand: Join our event on the impact of AI on the future of work</h5>
In the 18th century, the steam engine powered the Industrial Revolution. In the 1990s, the World Wide Web connected workplaces across the globe. Today, we are in the midst of another profound technological transformation: the rise of artificial intelligence.
AI is already transforming the way we work – both individually and as organisations. The question is no longer if AI will shape the future of work, but how. Which skills matter now, and which will be vital tomorrow?
Our upcoming CBS Executive Education event explores how AI is reshaping our working lives. Three CBS researchers will share their perspectives on what the rise of AI means for people and organisations in the years ahead. This is your chance to equip yourself with the tools and insights to adapt to change and integrate AI effectively into your work, ensuring you stay ahead in a quickly evolving landscape.

EE6: Forecasting the Future: How Professional Investors Form Long‑Term Expectations

<h6>About the event</h6>
Long‑term investment decisions are built on expectations about the future. At the heart of these expectations lie Capital Market Assumptions (CMAs) — the return forecasts that guide strategic asset allocation, portfolio construction, and risk management across the investment industry. Yet despite their central role, how these assumptions are formed and used in practice remains opaque to many.
At this event, CBS Assistant Professor Markus Ibert presents new research‑based insights into how professional investors develop, revise, and apply long‑term return expectations. Drawing on extensive data from asset managers, investment consultants, pension funds, wealth advisors, and professional forecasters, the event offers a rare look at the institutional investment process.
The event addresses three core questions:
<ul>
<li>How are long‑term return expectations formed? Understanding the behavioural and institutional factors that influence how professionals think about the future.</li>
<li>Why do expectations differ — and change — across institutions and market cycles? Exploring how forecasts evolve over time, across asset classes, and within different organisational settings.</li>
<li>How do CMAs translate into real portfolio decisions? Examining the link between stated expectations and actual asset allocation choices.</li>
</ul>
Who is this for? This event is particularly relevant for investment professionals, analysts, portfolio managers, advisors, and decision‑makers working with long‑term capital allocation, as well as professionals with an interest in finance, investing, and strategic decision‑making. Participants will gain new perspectives on how long‑term investment strategies are shaped in practice — and what this means for navigating an increasingly uncertain market environment.
