The Insights Review is a time-saving resource for executives and consultants wishing to stay abreast of the latest insights across the world of financial services.
A message from the editor
A short and sweet Insight Review this month as the flow of articles globally ebbs before the holidays.
Our article of the month is somewhat unsurprisingly related to COP26 and is reviewed by our global head of ESG Tim House. Our congratulations to Tim and the authors.
Putting carbon markets to work on the path to net zero – McKinsey
This is also a perfect month to introduce an exciting evolution of The Insight Review. We have introduced The ICG Score for each insight. The score rates each insight on a Likert scale of 1 to 5. We allocate 80% of the score to the density and quality of insights.We then award another 20% if the insights are especially novel or if the insights which are known are synthesized, categorized or packaged in a usefully fresh way. We will recognize insight authors who score 4 or 5 stars and also start to build a database where ICG reviews can be searched based on our clients’ need for articles on certain topics ranked by this score.
We hope you like this new approach.
Following is our current list of some of the most interesting projects this month. If you or your teams might benefit from a confidential and sanitized conversation on any of the below, please contact your preferred ICG professional or nearest HUB to be put in touch with the project team lead.
