Customer expectations set by technology companies, not by other banks.
Banking & Financial Services
Regulated, digitising and competing for the same scarce talent as technology firms. Banking leadership has never needed rebuilding this fast.
What this means for the employees in your organization
The competitive frontier in financial services has moved from product to experience. The shift is behavioral. Digital platforms can be bought; a digital-first mindset across a branch network has to be built, reinforced and measured, usually while the regulator is watching.
Gen Z talent that will not accept a career path measured in decades.
Automation moving the human role from processing to advising.
Sustained cost pressure meeting sustained transformation ambition.
