Digital Transformation in Action: Questions to Ask Your Team

For most financial services organizations, the view from the C-suite shows a fiercely competitive landscape with new players, rising customer expectations, and surges of innovation. Though the dust hasn’t settled yet, you can see which way the wind’s blowing — toward increased agility and digitization of core processes.

You’ve probably already made some moves in response. For example, many financial institutions have used their core provider to digitize their account opening process. Unfortunately, while this can deliver a quick fix to a pressing problem, it’s not an ideal solution. To gain the agility you need to survive and thrive, your organization must implement an end-to-end digital platform and adopt omni-channel and omni-product strategies.

The rest of your organization, though, might not share this perspective. This matters because your digital transformation is more likely to be successful if everyone in your company aligns to support it. To get your business units on the same page, start asking questions and offering answers that will help everyone see that digitization benefits the organization — both its immediate day-to-day processes and its longer-term profitability and growth.
