The Keynote Panel Discussion, “Who owns the customer in the age of digital?” was moderated by David Redhill, CMO, Deloitte and featured panelists, Basker Rangachari, Global Head of Digital & Brand, Standard Chartered Bank, Joe Chapman, Head of CRM & Analytics, TAL Life, Pam Rebecca, General Manager – Digital, ANZ.
The well-documented digital disruption of Financial Services has had profound impacts on the way financial products are developed, strategy is executed, and experience delivered. Customers expect an ever more personalised service at the time and in the location of their choosing, requiring an integration of segmentation strategy, data, targeting and experience design that appears seamless at every touchpoint.
So, is anyone ultimately responsible for the customer agenda – or have we entered an era of genuine shared responsibility between those who run the technology, cut the data, and market the offer? And what implications do the need for greater customer intimacy have on the culture of financial organisations?
This Keynote Panel Discussion focused on the major changes in the Financial Services sector due to the digital disruption by highlighting the culture customer experience, engagement and communication in today’s digitally evolving workforce.
