Forum Keynote – Simplicity in the Age of Complexity
|
|
Times
are tough and banks need to become more productive, more agile and more
innovative to respond to what life throws at them. Yet legacy processes and
systems remain one of the biggest obstacles. Simplification, hence, has become
a new operating paradigm. Yet, as every follower of Steve Jobs appreciates:
“Simple can be harder than Complex”. This holds true as every FSI that has
matured in its digital transformation journey can attest. Having said that,
technology is opening up new opportunities and the rise of ecosystem banking
and digital platforms can help with simplification and turn banks into
data-driven organizations. Join this session to learn how European banks drive
transformation and tap into the power of the ecosystem to get closer to customers
and partners.
