Why attend

Digital, digital, digital. It’s become a mantra.

Thinking about technology, most financial institutions end up driving with one eye on the mirror rather than focusing on the future. Recent research from PWC shows that 68% of leading financial institutions will further digitize their customer interaction models, strengthen digital sales and service model interaction, and materially cut back on support functions and infrastructure that failed to prove their value during the pandemic.

While it is great to see banks increasing their focus on digital, the pace of change of technology and the rapid evolution of customer expectations means that many banks are still at risk. Many are running hard merely to stand still.
