Banking & Insurance
Banks and insurance companies can take the opportunity of the financial crisis to reinvent themselves

The financial crisis has raised a number of questions to which banks must find the answer. Not only on a strategic level, in terms of future business model, need for restructuring and deinvestments, but also impacting the operational management.
How does the crisis impact the behaviour and the preferences of your customers? How do you need to organise yourself to respond to these? How can you improve your cost-efficiency to deal with the pressure on the margins? How can you increase the control on your financial and operational risks? How will all of this help to correct the negative perception of financial institutions?
Also insurance companies face new challenges in the changing environment. How do your insurance customer behaviour and preferences evolve? How can you become a leaner organisation without compromising on quality of service? What are the implications of the evolution towards new solvency requirements? What benefits can you realise in grasping the multichannel distribution model opportunities?
