We have been working very closely with financial institutions for decades, but we've never had as many questions about what projects need to be prioritized first. It seems as though COVID-19 has added more initiatives to an already full whiteboard for financial executives than ever before—and a lot of them have short timelines and a ton of urgency behind them.
From shifting branch models, to adjusting how your branches operate, and beyond, we've got some ideas for you. And over the next 3 weeks, we will be releasing a project idea and what you need to make it happen!
First up...
BRANCH PROJECT: THE UNIVERSAL APPROACH
OBJECTIVE: SHIFT FROM TRANSACTIONAL TO ADVISORY
PRICE: $$$$$
TIMELINE: 8-12 months
With more and more people (2/3 people to be exact) trusting their financial institution since the pandemic, it is more important than ever before to build an advisory branch experience over a transactional one. This means:
- Eliminating the siloed teller and banker role and creating the Universal Associate role
- Creating a design and using technology that supports this new role
- Training staff to use these the new technologies and design features
This can be a lot to manage as there are a ton of factors to success. To make it easier, we offer a single package to get the job done right.
