Finding your opportunity in the evolving financial services landscape | Work Different
In managing their response to COVID-19, financial service companies are having to make some tough decisions to ensure their continued growth in the sector.
Having successfully supported customers through the first stage of the pandemic - such as by offering mortgage holidays and payment deferrals - the industry now faces a bigger challenge in preparing for what comes next. Things that were only on the horizon at the beginning of the year, and in some cases beyond, have become mission critical - from integrating customer care and digital programs through to accelerating feedback and development cycles. If businesses in the sector are going to survive and thrive in this new reality, they will need to be defensive in the short-term, and increasingly aggressive in the long-term.
Join Qualtrics and leading financial service organisations in this panel discussion into how companies will need to rethink and reinvent to ensure the new normal becomes the new better. We’ll explore:
- Key priorities as businesses continue to respond changes caused by the pandemic
- How to reposition experiences, services, and offerings to align to the changing customer behaviour
- Tips for continuously improving the experiences delivered to employees and customers
- Real-life examples of how major financial service companies are moving forward at a time of significant change
