Although the pandemic continues to pose significant challenges for banks, it has a silver lining as a catalyst for the banking industry to accelerate organisation-wide digital transformation.

To cope with the “new normal”, banks need to adopt new business and operation models and the new business architecture involves the reshaping of customer engagement, operation models and technology platforms with agility, resilient and regulatory compliance as top priorities. Through redesigning workflows and the use of emerging technologies, such as machine learning, AI and automation, work can be done faster, decisions can be made “smarter” and operation more scalable.

The radical transformation towards a cognitive enterprise not only allows the industry to realise the “Banking Everywhere” goal but also reinventing customer engagement, extending product offerings and generating new values. This transformation is also timely for the industry to get ready to capture new opportunities such as those brought by the Greater Bay Area.

This webinar will provide a holistic analysis of how banks should carry out an end-to-end transformation and adopting new business models to navigate the “next normal”.
