How to drive productivity, reduce risk, enable digital and help teams and their leaders organize for success
With Nigel Adams, Banking Expert and Director at Hetton Advisory
Banking resiliency has come a long way since the global financial crisis of 2008. As well as repairing bruised and battered balance sheets, banks around the world have had to deal with far greater regulatory intervention, rapidly evolving customer and community expectations, shrinking margins in a low-interest world, an onslaught of innovation sparked by new competitors from the FinTechs to the global Tech giants and, to cap it all, a global pandemic.
The scale of change is overwhelming. The industry response has been transformed at an unprecedented level. Irrespective of geography, large, mature banks are grappling with transformation on multiple fronts:
- Operational excellence transformation
- Digital transformation
- Risk and compliance transformation
- Customer journey transformation
- Organizational transformation
Previously, delivering any one or two of these programs would have presented a significant challenge. Today, there is an urgency to deliver all five – concurrently. To cope, banks have turned to new ways of working, bringing with them new toolsets and technologies.
While many banking executives are familiar with technologies like Cloud, APIs, Chatbots, Robotics and AI/ML, process mining is only just starting to emerge as a toolset destined to play a significant role in supporting banks on their relentless transformational journeys.
In cooperation with Apromore, Nigel Adams shares how this cutting–edge technology can help transformation leaders in banks focus on the customer, drive productivity, reduce risk, enable digital and help teams and their leaders organize for success.
