Wave after wave of change – pressure to make transformational change
In an industry that historically has changed at a sedate pace, big banks have been altering the way they do things at dizzying speed.
The banking sector has been under intense scrutiny and pressure to make transformational change in recent years in the wake of the financial crisis.
Facing narrow margins, tighter regulation and wary customers, they are forging new business models, transforming operational processes and re-orienting around service. At the same time, the ongoing digital and data revolution continues to bring wave after wave of change, making banks more technology-driven than ever. And in perhaps the most interesting about-face, financial services organizations are now taking culture change very seriously.
Taking culture change very seriously
Many banks, including Deutsche Bank, Citi, Barclays and Lloyds are responding with sweeping culture change strategies to restore trust, accountability and put customers back at the forefront.
Cultural change has become a core component of Deutsche Bank strategy. That powerful that Deutsche Bank have dedicated several pages about corporate culture in their latest annual report:
