1) The wealth management industry is undergoing profound changes due to new regulations, shifting competitive landscapes, and evolving customer expectations. Customers expect personalized services delivered through digital platforms anytime, anywhere.
2) To address these changes, firms need to create customer-centric platforms that deliver personalized, goal-based advice through mobile and transparent technologies. They also need to empower advisors with digital tools to improve productivity.
3) An effective approach is to create a single technology platform that tailors the experience for each user type. This can boost client engagement, advisor loyalty, productivity and revenue.
Seizing the regulatory opportunity: A Deloitte perspective on how financial i...Deloitte Canada
Financial institutions that look for opportunities in compliance rather than resign themselves to it can position themselves ahead of the competition. The energy they put into understanding the impact of new regulations on their businesses, customers and risks can be used to drive operational changes.
A new Accenture report identifies four key areas of focus for wealth and asset management firms to employ that are vital to attracting, engaging and retaining Generation D investors:
• Customer analytics.
• Self-directed tools.
• Community connections.
• Gamification.

The Impact of Robo-Advice on Financial Advisers: A Qualitative Case StudyDr. Crispin Coombs
Presented at 23rd UK Academy for Information Systems International Conference 20th-21st March 2018, Oxford.
One of the most significant recent technological developments concerns the application of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to skill-intensive, knowledge-based jobs. The financial adviser is a role that has been identified as being under threat from automated robo-advice services. However, there are conflicting views on the future of human financial advisers. It has been argued that human financial advisers will soon become obsolete because robo-advisers are lower cost and make fewer mistakes. Conversely, it has been argued that financial investment is an emotional process that requires empathy and reassurance that cannot be provided by automated robo-advisers. In this exploratory study we use
service encounter theory to explore the key elements of the financial adviser job role, identifying where human interaction with the client was considered to be valuable. Our findings suggest that robo-advisers are likely to augment rather than substitute human financial advisers.

Disrupted - Executive Perspectives on Banking & InsuranceAlastair Davies
Management Events' Surveys team interviewed more than 600 decision makers from leading Banks and Insurers in Europe and Southeast Asia to find their key business needs, development projects and solution investments.
Pending actualization of the Internet of Things, organizations must embrace the digital world if they are to survive and, preferably, thrive. Irrespective of the sector an organization is in, digitization enables fundamentally different ways for it to think about its clients, audiences, and partners, and to engage with them.
The UK regulator places primacy on outcomes that are client-centric as the determining factor to whether sufficient research and due diligence has been done.

Branding Procurement
As someone who has been in the supply world for more years than I would care to admit, the old Rodney Dangerfield lament about getting no respect was second only to the "we want a seat at the table" refrain.
While the profession as a whole had made some advancements beyond the days when CFOs considered our enterprise contributions to be either minimal or non-existent, it is still safe to say that we procurement professionals have not properly branded ourselves and the value we bring to our organizations.
"Some executives used to think of procurement as the place you send staff away in order to never see them again." - Leading Procurement Strategy, Carlos Mena, Remko van Hoek, Martin Christopher
In this presentation, (sponsored by Zycus), have a look at where procurement as a profession was, where are they today, and what they have to do to realize their full potential in the future.

[Whitepaper] Shareholder Value Traps: How to Evade Them and Focus on Value Cr...Flevy.com Best Practices

https://flevy.com/browse/flevypro/shareholder-value-traps-5239
Changing industry ecosystems and competition today demand from the organizations to undergo strategic shifts. The purpose of a company is undergoing Business Transformation from serving the interest of shareholders to serving all stakeholders that influence the organization.
Shareholders are often considered the only stakeholders that invest in a business. Senior management needs to be cognizant of the importance of shareholders as well other stakeholders who create value for the organization. They should work on building a collaborative Organizational Culture and paying heed to the welfare of all those groups that play a role in organizational growth.
This warrants a thorough evaluation of all stakeholders, their long-term interests, and Value Creation — or Value Destruction — potential for the organization. But first, this calls for finding answers to the following key questions:
Who creates the most value for the organization?
Who among the stakeholders typically secure the best deals from the organization?
Who is the victim of having the worst deals from the organization?
Who among the stakeholders is potentially untrustworthy?
Are there any intermediaries or stakeholders fulfilling their personal agendas?
Answering these questions is critical for the executives, otherwise they may risk falling into Shareholder Value Traps. Recognizing and understanding stakeholder value traps while the managing stakeholders’ various interests helps executives achieve shared and individual long-term goals. These 5 common traps prevent stakeholders’ interests to get integrated with the interests of the organization and destroy the value of a company if overlooked:
Ignoring cash-flow driving stakeholders while distributing cash
Miscalculating reaction from stakeholders
Supporting under-performing units
Conceding to willful vulture capitalists
Misjudging intermediaries role in transactions

Moving beyond multichannel: A Deloitte perspective on customer experience in ...Deloitte Canada
Think like a retailer: Multiply your multichannel returns
Is it a café? A financial genius bar or an app? The financial institution (FI) of tomorrow is already here, giving customers countless new ways to carry out their financial transactions.
Consumers are driving this transformation. They’re connected, knowledgeable, tech-savvy and very demanding. They don’t just compare one FI’s services to another, but to the best customer service they’ve had anywhere.
There’s much at stake. Some studies show Millennials count banks among their least-loved brands. Others show disruption in the FI space could impact existing market share dramatically in just five years.
However, FIs are adapting to these shifts. They are borrowing the best ideas from other businesses to create an intimate customer experience—especially from retailers.
But there’s more to be done.
• FIs need to structure themselves around customers. Not products or services.
• They need to understand each customer’s path to purchase.
• They need to make interactions simple and enjoyable.
• They need to evolve their internal structure: P&L, culture and their real estate strategy.
To learn more about how outstanding customer service is the key to delivering long-term business value, view our Slideshare, the second piece in our series, Making Change: Creating the financial Institution of the future.Then ask yourself, what opportunities are you going to take hold of, and what kind of FI do you want to be. Please get in touch with us for more information.
