With disruption becoming a reality, the financial sector is reinventing itself.
Numerous Fintech companies are introducing innovative solutions, global tech giants are gradually offering financial products, while traditional financial institutions are enormously increasing their digital spendings.
Without a doubt, the future is digital and financial institutions, banks (in particular), are facing unprecedented challenges that will need explicit strategic decisions to gain an edge in the new era. They need to determine their core identity and rethink their role, structure, and processes across all parts of the shifting value chain.
Key issues include:
- How to cope with evolving customer preferences and increasing competition?
- How to design the digital bank branch of the future to serve the next generation of digital customers?
- How to reconfigure and optimize the bank’s operating model and increase efficiency?
- How to train and recruit future employees for the new roles?
- How to compete or partner with global tech giants that have the digital and innovation dominance and a large loyal customer base?
- How to leverage data and analytics to develop informed strategic decisions and monetize digital investments?
- How to manage the digital migration and develop a successful change in management program?
