Banking & Innovation: How Financial Services Can Embrace the Customer RevolutionComrade
Financial services companies are increasingly seeing opportunities to be at the forefront of innovation. Historically, banks have been slow to translate consumer demands into technologies like paperless statements and mobile check imaging. However, they were quick to implement online banking and, today, customers who bank online are typically more satisfied as well as more cost-effective to maintain. Banks have also responded to the shift in consumer demand for mobile banking on tablets and smartphones. The next challenge facing financial services is how to address the rise of consumer trends evolving mainly outside of the industry. We’re pleased to have partnered with Matchi to publish “Banking & Innovation: How Financial Services Can Embrace the Customer Revolution." This paper focuses on three phenomena that will ultimately impact every bank:
- Crowdsourcing
- Wearable Technology
- The Sharing Economy
We explore the state of each these trends, and how they relate to financial services.

Grassroots Accessibility: Driving change from the middle outComrade
When we think about accessibility in the context of web technologies, we often associate it with designing products and services for those with disabilities. Yet with digital interactions becoming increasingly common—and often critical to our lives—we should really be thinking of accessibility as a universal design necessity that serves everyone's best interests.
On April 24, 2014, we hosted and moderated a UXPA Meetup, where we discussed accessibility with a specific focus on methods for advancing the practice. We were joined by speakers from SSB BART Group and Kaiser Permanente, who discussed their perspectives and experiences improving accessibility for their companies and their clients.
I also presented on grassroots accessibility, focusing on tools and techniques anyone can use to move the bar within their own company, whether it be a startup or established business. I hope you enjoy my presentation as much as I did creating it.

It's Not All Improv: 9 Improvisation Lessons That Can Make You a Better Prese...Comrade
Over the past year, I’ve noticed a shift in the way we present our work and ourselves. As we’ve grown our expertise in financial services and our individual disciplines, we’ve become more comfortable doing what we do best. We’re more natural, friendly and confident. To acknowledge and support this shift, I sought out a way to make us even better at being unscripted.
After vetting various organizations, we invited Chris and Ann from LifePlays to facilitate an improv workshop at Comrade. For a few hours one afternoon, we stepped away from client work, formed a circle and jumped into the fundamentals of improv. By the end of the day, we were applying improvisational techniques to realistic work scenarios. Passing the “yellow ball” and encouraging each other with “yes, and…,” we found inspiration and confidence, and succeeded in helping everyone sound brilliant.
It's been some time since we completed the workshop, but every day we’re embracing the lessons we learned. Our conversations are more balanced and energetic, both with our clients and each other. We’re better at listening and supporting each other to keep ideas bubbling forth.
Through improv we've become better comrades. I couldn’t have hoped for a better result.
Here are some improvisation tips that have helped us be better presenters and teammates.
