Hi,

Finance Industry is a super broad definition. Could you specify?

Hi!

Frankly, the list of potential topics is endless - just as in any other industry! Typical Finance/Banking case scenarios include (but are not restricted to):

  • Improving operational efficiency (front-, mid-, backoffice)
  • Optimising commercial capabilities of sales teams (RMs)
  • Integrating Risk and Corporate Strategy
  • Merger Management
  • Introducing new payment services
  • Adressing ATM and/or card fraud
  • Launching new digital services & products
  • etc. etc.

Cheers, Sidi
