This book deals directly with the risk/return multiple trade-offs
coming out of the closely intertwined relationship between banking
and real estate. The authors explore how banks could embrace a more
proactive approach to make the most of their, mostly ‘long
only’, exposure to real estate, and create positive spillover
effects on their real estate counterparts and the sector as a
whole. It provides a "state of the art" representation and analysis
of the strategies that best practices in banking are adopting to
manage these issues and plan for a new set of interrelations,
driving a "virtuous circle" as opposed to the current one. Banking,
Lending and Real Estate is built on the academic knowhow and
professional expertise of the authors, who have been researching,
writing and working on this joint topic for over a decade. With its
pragmatic approach, it allows the reader to capture which leading
hedge active and holistic approaches are available today and proven
to treat, for example, the banks’ overexposure to this asset
class; to manage "unlikely to pay" and sub-performing positions;
and to optimize the recovery value coming from the work out of real
estate related NPL (and underlying assets). Case studies and
relevant examples are provided, leveraging on the authors’
experience in consulting projects in the EMEA region and from
working with global, regional and domestic banks and the real
estate players acting across its value chain. This book will appeal
to both academics and business practitioners within the banking,
financial services and real estate sectors, as well as
professionals from financial and strategic/industrial advisory
working in those fields.
Global cities are facing an almost unprecedented challenge of
change. As they re-emerge from the Covid 19 pandemic and get ready
to face climate change and other, potentially existential threats,
they need to look for new ways to support wealth and wellbeing
creation - leveraging Big Data and AI and suing them into their
physical reality and to become greener, more inclusive and
resilient, hence sustainable. This book describes how new digital
technologies could be used to design digital and physical twins of
cities that are able to feed into each other to optimize their
working and ability to create new wealth and wellbeing. The book
also describes how to increase cities' social and economic
resilience during crisis time and addressing their almost fatal
weaknesses - as it became all too obvious during the recent COVID
19 crisis. Also, the book presents a framework for a critical
discussion of the concept of "smart-city", suggesting its
development into a "cyber" and "meta" one - meaning, not only
digital systems can allow physical ones (e.g. cities, citizens,
households and companies) to become "smarter", but also the vice
versa is true, as off line data and real life behaviours can
support the optimization and development of virtual brains as a sum
of big data and artificial intelligence apps all sitting "over the
cloud". An analysis of the fundamental dynamics of this emerging
"info-telligence" economy, and of the potential role of big digital
players like Amazon, Google and Facebook is then paving the way to
discuss a few strategic forays on how traditional sectors such as
financial services, real estate, TMT or health could also evolve,
leveraging Big Data and AI in a cyber-physical integrated setting.
Finally, a number of thought provoking use cases that could be
designed around individuals, and to improve the success and the
resilience of households and companies living and working in urban
areas are discussed, as an example of one of the most exciting
future markets to come: the one of global, sustainable cities
This book explains how to restructure and successfully turn around
a bank or financial institution at a time when the global financial
system is facing a new wave of disruption ushered in by innovation
from digital financial technology, or FinTech. It is argued that
within banking this process of creative destruction will entail
unprecedented challenges for traditional institutions as well as
opportunities for new, mostly digital, players. A great deal of
restructuring, turnaround, and transformation will be required.
While information on these topics is widely available with respect
to corporates, this is not the case for banks. The book addresses
this neglected area in detail, analyzing the changes that have been
set in motion, examining how creative destruction can be
anticipated by both old and new players, and explaining how to
better manage restructuring and innovation in banking. The book
will appeal to top and middle managers of banks and financial
institutions, advisers, regulators, academics, and students.
This book discusses the most critical issues relating to the
recovery of bad loans - a major problem that European banks
urgently need to address and resolve. The book describes, in an
innovative but also pragmatic way, the new approaches, techniques,
and models for optimal management of non-performing loans (NPLs)
and the maximization of their recovery value. Drawing on a rigorous
academic background and the latest real-life experiences of major
European banks, it details a novel means of dealing with NPLs based
on velocity, the holistic use of tools and "accelerators", and the
active management of collaterals. Also, there is a specific focus
on the smart use of "big data" and on the development of "bad
banks", at both the single bank and the system-wide level.
Ultimately, credit workout is defined as a core capability for any
competitive bank - and as a quite interesting business opportunity
for independent, specialized "alpha" players.

This book analyzes the set of forces driving the global financial
system toward a period of radical transformation and explores the
transformational challenges that lie ahead for global and regional
or local banks and other financial intermediaries. It is explained
how these challenges derive from the newly emerging post-crisis
structure of the market and from shadow and digital players across
all banking operations. Detailed attention is focused on the
impacts of digitalization on the main functions of the financial
system, and particularly the banking sector. The author elaborates
how an alternative model of banking will enable banks to predict,
understand, navigate, and change the external ecosystem in which
they compete. The five critical components of this model are data
and information mastering; effective use of applied analytics;
interconnectivity and "junction playing"; development of new
business solutions; and trust and credibility assurance. The
analysis is supported by a number of informative case studies. The
book will be of interest especially to top and middle managers and
employees of banks and financial institutions but also to FinTech
players and their advisers and others.

The book tries to map the key innovation initiatives and emerging
competitive advantages for banks, drawing examples from real cases
of banks and fintech/digital challengers, and from the
international consulting experience of the author. A methodological
approach is taken to discuss the hypothetical ""singularity bank,""
a bank that could make redundant most of its human resources. AI
apps would take control across all kind of processes, from
compliance to capital allocation, from risk underwriting to
customer advisory and sale. This book discusses also how this would
cause key processes in the bank to change, and how organization and
governance should evolve as a consequence. Also discussed is how
human resources could rise to the challenge of the change brought
by AI and the robotization of the banking business.
Aeroporti internazionali e treni superveloci, grand hotel e
grattacieli delle capitali finanziarie europee, mediorientali e
americane fanno da scenario quotidiano alle avventure del
consulente. Che si tratti del fracking per l'estrazione dello shale
gas o di bolle immobiliari costruite sulla sabbia del deserto, o di
immaginare la banca del futuro, a portarlo in giro per il mondo
sono questioni di business che spesso impongono di guardare oltre:
alle forze distruttive dell'economia in azione, agli orizzonti
delle nuove frontiere geopolitiche, alle sfide che donne e uomini
di ogni latitudine si trovano ad affrontare. Perche il suo mestiere
e consigliare al meglio i potenti della terra - e i presunti tali -
sui temi critici di oggi e di domani. Da un ricevimento negli
avveniristici Emirati Arabi a un Giappone consumista e decadente,
dalle riunioni dei leader globali tra le nevi di Davos alla
mirabolante e barocca Las Vegas, il perpetuo roadshow del
consulente per metropoli e paesi e anche il diario di un viaggio di
formazione in una babele di lingue, di usanze, di culture. Dove
alla fine cio che conta davvero non e il viaggio, e neppure la
meta, ma l'insegnamento che ne puoi trarre.
