How did your company fare? Needs must! The key is what comes next. Personalisation at scale is the name of the game

Expert:            Matt Weaver, Objectivity
Facilitator:      Paul Miles, Silverback Consultancy 

The State of Play

We must adapt to new client expectations

  • Personalise advice
  • Offer real-time support
  • Operate across multiple channels
  • Increased willingness to receive automated advice
  • Younger generations prefer online
  • Be prepared to train and educate clients
  • Digital marketing
  • Client portals will have a big part to play
  • Digital banking
  • Legal compliance means that all but criminal behaviour is acceptable
  • The role of technology has an increasing part to play within Financial Services
  • Implement tech so that you are able to respond to ‘signals’ rather than your calendar 

Key challenges

  • When should you make the investment to incorporate more digital into the business
  • Cost of implementation
  • Pain of switching technology
  • How to deliver different types of service 

Conclusions/Solutions

  • Listen to what your clients want
  • Evaluate your existing tech partners to make sure they have the right product and skills to support your business now and in the future
  • Don’t underestimate the importance of accurate and clean DATA
  • If you don’t make a decision to become more digital now, you will get further and further behind the service offered by your peers
  • Implement technology that can be bespoke to your business
