The widespread effects of technological developments have had a great impact upon consumers behavior and their expectations. Whilst certain fundamentals have remained intact, new consumer groups, trends, and behavioral patterns are disrupting existing market- and business perceptions. To maintain the crucial loyalty, we all need to re-evaluate who we service as customers, and how we do so. This session guides you to take an unapologetic customer perspective, and outlines the fundamentals your business needs in order to create amazing customer experiences and stay relevant in an exponential world.
Board Governance
Technological development has opened the floodgates for new business opportunities, along with new ways to penetrate markets. Its significance to our current way of doing business is unprecedented, and is rewriting some of our most fundamental business theories – with only a few taking notice. However, whilst organizations are starting to adjust to the new terms of business on a sporadic basis, a thorough update for corporate governance practices is well overdue. This session guides you to key elements for corporate governance in an exponential world, with a special focus on a new role for the supervisory board.
Finance
The finance industry has benefitted from being an early adopter of computers and an end-to-end digitisation of markets. As technological developments have advanced and cross-impacts of these developments materialise, some of the most fundamental pillars of finance are being challenged. Given the finance industry’s pivotal role for distribution wealth, over time, changes to the finance industry will have impacts far beyond increased competition within the industry. This session draws up scenarios and the beginnings of discussion about what impact the exponential advancing technologies will have on the industry, society- and what being a banker is to become.
