Conclusion
46Great Banking Experience by Service Design www.uxessible.com
Learning from FinTechs
- Start with no obligation / as less budget force as possible
- MVP & Pivot fast
- Diverse teams „rule“
- Embrace change / be flexible
- Agile dev helps
- Know your users
- Settle where the infrastructure is favourable (legal, staff …)
47Great Banking Experience by Service Design www.uxessible.com
Prerequisites for Successful Service
Development in Agile Teams
- Establish try & error culture with clear focus
- Onboard new people and integrate different skills
- Establish mixed, heterogenous teams that are self-driven
- Find work model (different roles, tool chain, decission making process)
- Operate driven by user research and business opportunities
- Find and hire people who are engaged
- Define clear goals for teams, roles & responsibilities
- Establish accepted conflict resolution model
- Accept, promote and support change in organisational structure
- LET THE TEAMS WORK ALONE / do not interfere
Team tasks
Management tasks
48Great Banking Experience by Service Design www.uxessible.com
But Banking Experience is more than Service
Individual financial needs & strategy
very personal issue, depends on personal values & goals
for example: doing good → fair investments, thematic investments
Empowerment of customers
education to enable people to make use of services
playful interaction, motivation based, best: intrinsic motivation
for example: trading basics → opportunity for customer and bank
 One solution: Seek advice from outside to analyse threats, find blind spots in service landscape,
turn them into opportunities, and identify and mobilise internal ressources

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Past: User-Researcher & UX Manager Now: Product Manager & Innovation Coach Lately: Senior User Experience Manager @ Roche Diagnostics Ltd., Rotkreuz (Schweiz) User Researcher @ comdirect bank AG
  • #7 Service Today: Digital Uber – worldwide cab services but no cars Amazon – world leading commerce without having shops AirBnB – world leading accomodation without any flat/house ==> businesses operated without having Ebay - weltgrößte Handelsplattform bietet selbst keine Güter an Facebook – weltgrößte (geschlossene) Netzwerk und Medienunternehmen produziert keine Inhalte ==> business do prosper without having anything physical to be bought or sold (in D: 70% of national income is by services) ==> Services are omni-present and important
  • #8 We have a situation, Mr. President! „First, the branches die, then the whole bank.“ (Deutsche Startups) „until 2025 there will be about 40 percent less banking branches“ (Handelsblatt)
  • #10 Consumers already rate the digital experience as important as the branch Customers are open to digital-only for all of their banking needs Those with more complex financial products – often the banks’ most profitable customers – are even more receptive to digital-only offerings than those with fewer needs
  • #11 While security, personalization, speed and ease of use remain central customer concerns, expectations are evolving so rapidly that banks are struggling to keep up with the pace of change and improve service design in banking.
  • #12 Meeting Customer Expectations Disruptive FinTech competitors are threatening to steal the banks’ customers before they have time to respond. So, how can traditional institutions improve the digital experience, and retain customers in a competitive market? And how can they keep up with the pace of disruption? develop competative services with Service Design become an agile organisation
  • #14 „Services is everything you can't drop on your foot, ranging from hair-dressing to websites.“ (Mathew Bishop, economist) Product: designing the object for later usage by the user (full-control over the object) Service: planned activity unfolds later with the user (no control over the usage, e.g. Smöland Ikea Altona) Example: Car (Product) & Car-Sharing (Service) Service design is concerned with the design of services and making them better suit the needs of the service’s users. Goal is to improve both quality of service and interactions between the provider of the service and its customers.
  • #15 It examines all activities, infrastructure, communication, people, and material components involved in the service. The objective of service design is to formulate both front office and back office strategies that meet the customers’ needs whilst remaining economic for the service provider. Ideal services are considered to be user-friendly and competitive within their market.
  • #16 The good news is that the core skills of UX design are similar when it comes to service design – they are just altered somewhat in scope.
  • #17 High Level view (strategy): Service Design in the context of brand management
  • #18 Mid level view (operational): The main tool of a Service Designer: the service blueprint to orchestrate the different assets, interactions etc. of one service Goal of service blueprints: fully understanding the process related to a service Means: They map all the interactions related with delivering a service, both physical and digital that A service blueprint is an extension of a customer journey map. A customer journey map specifies all the interactions that a customer will have with an organization throughout their customer lifecycle. In a world where the line between product and service is becoming increasingly blurred it only makes sense for a UX designer to learn how to deliver and use service blueprints in their work.

  • #33 Factor: brand and design Old design of comdirect until June 2016
  • #34 Factor: brand and design The new brand design of comdirect: New type, new logo, new visuals, new colour: redesign! Old information structure, old navigation structure, old content  Nothing changed under the hood
  • #35 Breadth of Services Retail Bank: multi-purpose & broad („Wholesale“) FinTechs: single-purpose & deep („Specialization“) Example: comdirect mobile App vs. FastLoan
  • #36 Retail Bank: existing user base, often used to retail banking FinTechs: new tech-savy customers, digital natives Example: comdirect banking App vs. N26
  • #37 Retail Banks: each Sparkasse or Volksbank/Raiffeisenbank is independent and does not interfere with any other bank of the same network → slow, network FinTechs: centralized decission making → fast, hierarchical Example: Paypal vs. Paydirekt
  • #40 FinTechs outrun Banks Number 26 gets Bank license (25. July 2016) > first step towards full blown bank
  • #41 Banks buy FinTech: BPCE übernimmt Fidor Die bekannte Bankengruppe BPCE, eine Art französische Volksbank, übernimmt die Münchener Internetbank Fidor. “BPCE will mit dem Kauf der Fidor Bank ihre digitale Transformation beschleunigen.
