Move to the Cloud
“Banks will be doomed if they resist changing legacy
systems, especially those at the core.
The more legacy, the more cost, the less flexibility, the
harder to change.
Adding digital to legacy means paying to run both the
old and the new.”
- Chris Skinner, The Finanser
Get Control of your Data
“You cannot refresh core systems unless you separate your
content (the data) from your processing (the servers)
You cannot protect yourself against a cyberattack if data is
fragmented and offline; and
You cannot serve the customer well in the digital age if you
do not have a single view of them.”
- Chris Skinner, The Finanser

Editor's Notes

  1. Hi everyone, I’m Mike Sigal, and I’m going to share a perspective with you on corporate innovation. And by the way, at the end of the talk there will be a link where you can down load my slides.
  2. Hopefully I don’t need to convince anyone in this audience that digital technology reshapes industries.
  3. Hopefully I don’t need to convince anyone in this audience that digital technology reshapes industries.
  4. But some of you may not be aware that over the last 20-30 years, digital has proven to disrupt industries in a pretty predictable fashion…
  5. What’s really challenging for corporates is that for a few years after startups start working in an industry, nothing much happens, then almost overnight…new tech disrupts. As another example, it took skype 6 years to demolish 40% of all international telephone revenue.
  6. Opportunity vs. disruption Digital has been redefining industry leaders since the 90s. Its only just begun in Financial Services.
  7. Investment Partnering Acquisition 5-10% of Market Cap / Year Become a learning organization
  8. Well, there’s possibly a good reason for setting every bank CIO this challenge, as most bank investment is in keeping the lights on.  It’s keeping the old systems going whilst investing in new systems.  McKinsey calculate that the average bank is spending 10% of its expense on just operational costs, and this is higher for banks that haven’t rationalised their technology.  These costs only get higher for banks that are layering new technologies on top of old. This harks back to my continual call to change old core systems, as many banks’ investments in digital are just layering legacy upon legacy.      
  9. And they’ve been aggressively trying out lots of different ways of engaging startups and the startup ecosystem. To show you how aggressive some have been, let’s take a quick dive into corporate venture capital.
  10. I think that the think that keeps corporates from investing more is that they don’t like failure. Innovation fails a lot. And failing is no way to keep your corporate job.
  11. When you dig into why corporates fail to innovation effectively, you find that the key challenges aren’t about technology or customer demands…they are about culture, management techniques and incentives.
  12. So I’m going to share with you just a bit of training we delivery corporate teams to become more effective at innovation we call it startup empathy. And it’s simple in concept, but like any skill set, it takes focus and work and coaching to master.
  13. Can you imagine what would happen if instead of building processes around ideas from business schools and management consultants, corporations leveraged their ability to perfect processes that have been proven to generate value from disruptive innovation. That’d be pretty great for corporate innovation. Well, those processes exist.
  14. Inside most corporates you put together a plan, you get it funded, then you go implement…and in a year or two’s time, after millions of investment, you know whether it works. But the digital world moves to fast for that approach to be effective. Startups and VCs know that no plan for an innovation solution is right the first time, or the hundredth time, so they have created a capital efficient funding model that provides more resource as incremental risks are taken off the table.
  15. That model supports turning innovative thinking about the future into reality. If you’re an MBA or manager, you’re taught…
  16. We teach our corporate clients called the POC Pathway, which is easy to learn, and through practice and focus, because a highly efficient process that can be used throughout large companies. I want to tell you about two key features of the Pathway.
  17. Instead, if they frame business challenges like this…with a line of business owner, a problem, a success metric and a timeline….then they have something that they can find and test solutions for. And if they start with challenges that are relevant for the current business, then you avoid the problems where line of business managers are typically not paid to innovate.
  18. Think of this as your proverbial post-it notes. Temporarily suspend judgement while you generate ideas (solution categories). Try to stay MECE (“mee-see”) if possible (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) Maybe ask the audience for solutions or strategies and then reveal these?
  19. How VCs do it
  20. For those of you who know lean startup, this is an adaptation of lean startup for corporates. And what’s most important here, is that when you run experiments, you do it in a specific order that both economizes the use of resources and takes risks off the table in a specific sequence.
  21. Thanks for the slide, Taha!
  22. Finally, by then distributing capital, **using the same methodology** against projects that will generate value in the near term, the medium term and the long, your board and shareholders will be able to experience the returns from innovation continuously. So that was your rapid fire introduction to how corporates can use the best practices from the startup and venture ecosystem to become operationally excellent at innovation.
  23. And the net result during the digital age has been that lots of big companies, even those with dozens of years of history, move too slowly and die.
