Financial Services: Innovating through Disruption
Before 2020, for most working remotely was an unfathomable idea. A year later and you’ve probably been managing a remote team, or at least or part of one, and it all seems quite normal. It hasn't all been plain sailing, but in making the move you’ve embraced agility and perhaps shed a little expensive office space too.
Traditionally a mix of the legacy and the cutting edge, IT leaders in the financial sector have shown themselves adept at moving staff and services online, even while operating under stringent regulatory and security conditions which add a layer of complexity compared with other verticals.
But while we have become accustomed to our Covid-19 bunkers, Brexit offers itself as the disrupter of 2021 with many uncertainties still to be worked through. What will updated regulations around data transfers mean for your business? How about changes in data protection legislation? And will you still be able to hire the right skills?
Watch this episode of Deskflix to hear from industry experts and peers in the financial a sector on their 2020 best practices, what they’ve learnt for 2021 and how they plan to overcome the next wave of disruption.

From convergence of two super trends in technology - Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain - with unprecedented acceleration in the adoption of digital technologies across the globe driven by Covid-19, arises the possibility of impending technology disruption and innovation on a scale never before experienced in global history. In this keynote Janet will discuss the opportunities and risks of technology disruption in 2021, and review the imperative for adoption of benevolent and risk based approaches to digital ethics, particularly as applied to Artificial Intelligence.

Digital transformation is growing exponentially with 70% of organisations claiming to have a digital strategy in place, or to be working on one. However, a worrying emerging trend is that many of these initiatives don’t get off the ground let alone deliver the intended benefits to the business. Why? A relentless drive and investment in modernising tech without the necessary focus on delivering value to the end users and truly enabling change.
Join our talk to discover what we’ve learned from leading digital projects in Financial Services and for practical advice on how to organise your teams and measure what matters to deliver meaningful results.
