On Our Event: Making Innovation Real in Financial Services
Research has shown that only 6% of global CEOs are satisfied with their innovation investments.
We hosted our second event about innovation in the Financial Services sector on April 11th, in midtown Manhattan.
We had a powerful group of leaders in attendance: executives in banking and technology who have been at the forefront of driving change in their respective organizations. We also had some great speakers, including Steve Dunn, Head of Innovation and AI Incubation at SMBC Americas Division, and Johannes Jarl, Executive Director at Innovation 360 Group. Our own leadership team, David Milligan and Avinash Singh also shared their perspectives.
Our team returned with a great sense of positive energy from the group. The authentic conversations we had, sharing about the challenges and opportunities of corporate innovation in Financial Services, served to rekindle our excitement about what’s possible, given the right approach and support.
Key concepts discussed during the session included:
How properly applied innovation management can de-risk new initiatives in Financial Services.
Why successful financial services innovation requires a 'through the cycle' approach to innovation investment, setting and adjusting a ‘risk appetite’ for innovation
Practical understanding of how to rapidly assess the innovation capability within Financial Services organizations, and how to improve innovation effectiveness.
How leading organizations 'bridge the gap' between their innovation aspirations and current innovation capabilities, leveraging real-world data from over 5,000 organizations in 100+ countries.
