When it comes to technology trends, the term “disruption” is used a lot—and in the case of fintech (e.g., the financial technology sector), this description is true. If you are an executive, manager, investor, or regulatory agent, chances are fintech trends have impacted your business—and will continue to do so.
The Stanford State-of-the-Art Series: FinTech Landscape, a digital learning course designed especially for executives, helps professionals leverage the latest fintech trends to drive innovation in fast-paced technology environments. Take this course to get a deeper understanding of how to view fintech as an opportunity, rather than a challenge.
Held over two weekends, this program takes a close look at the fintech landscape as a whole, emphasizing how financial technology—blockchain, cryptocurrencies, AI, machine learning, and future trading platforms—are already impacting financial ecosystems around the world, and provides actionable tools you can use right now to position your organization for success.
You can take the class wherever you call home. With The FinTech Landscape course, Stanford faculty comes to you. It is all possible with cutting-edge Live technology.
