IDC Financial Insights Banking Roundtable 2011

The IDC Financial Insights Banking Roundtable series is organized as a high-level peer discussion for senior banking practitioners and is designed to disseminate evolving regional and global best practices relevant to local banks.
 

2011 and Beyond: Disruptive Trends in Banking

The 2011 Series seeks to impart our views on rapidly emerging “disruptive trends” generated from maturing technologies, changing consumer behavior and volatile economic conditions. Indeed, the financial services revolution after the global financial crisis has set the banks on a course to re-think their business models, transform their banking operations and ultimately, revolutionize banking as we know it.

Discussions at the Banking Roundtable will focus on key disruptive trends identified by IDC Financial Insights as relevant to the banking sector in 2011 and beyond:

• Analytics in the Era of Big Data - The data that an organization is able to capture have expanded in both form and quantity. At the same time, banks' capabilities to collect, store, manage and analyze data have improved dramatically. How does a bank make sense of all the "data noise"?
• Banking 2.0 - The explosion of social media, communities and Web 2.0 capabilities has been, like social phenomena, at times a force of good and other times a force of adverse conditions. How should banks deal with the rise of Banking 2.0?
• End of Risk Management-As-Usual– Will the new liquidity and capital frameworks be a disruption to business? How will the implementation of Basel III impact banks in the emerging markets of Asia? Will the shift to a greater focus on liquidity change business models?
• Cloud Computing - Cloud computing presents an opportunity for banks to acquire and pay for technology capabilities on a pay-as-you-use, use-as-you-please basis. Can this ever be done in the new era of banking? How would cloud computing impact traditional technology procurement practices?
• Expanding touchpoints requiring 360 Security – With banks increasing customer touch points for wider market outreach and improved customer service, how should they manage and enforce security without sacrificing customer experience? What do we make out of the Wikileaks scenario for banking?
• AppWars – The arrival of smart phones and the greater prevalence of customer activity on their mobile devices results in what we call AppWars. How does this remake Internet and mobile banking?
• User-driven Technology Shop – Gone are the days when the IT department dictates technology decision-making. Senior executives are more aware of technology, and ever more vocal of their concerns and requirements. How should technology & operation leaders increase their visibility, while at the same time ensuring technology innovation and operation efficiencies?
• The Rise of Generation Y – Generation Y represents an increasingly lucrative customer segment for banks. The discussion sets to underscore the habits, preferences and interaction intentions of the new generation of banking staff and customers.

Like in the previous years, the Roundtable will provide essential guidance to financial industry practitioners on the strategic imperatives that their peers are prioritizing moving forward. This year’s focus will be on the best practices in optimizing technology and operational efficiencies to capitalize on the above-mentioned “disruptive trends”.
