“We’re living in an increasingly interconnected world and digital ecosystems are rapidly becoming the context of our daily lives. It’s really important that financial institutions understand how this could impact their operating models. The interplay between banks, partners, and customers has the potential to be a significant enabler and accelerate innovation and being alive to these opportunities and emerging technologies will be absolutely fundamental to an organisation’s future success.”
