FINANCIAL SERVICES: BUILDING BACK BETTER

Market and business shifts motivated by ESG issues are here to stay. How can you and your business leverage opportunities to lead the change agenda?

A different kind of crisis

Exploring possible futures for financial services

Having previously faced major reputational challenges, financial sector organisations today are in a different position than they were in previous global crises.

Leading industry analysts believe there is now an opportunity for the sector to support the recovery efforts and play a leading role and reshaping a more sustainable kind of capitalism. The very real pressures of dealing with new competitors as well as the challenges of climate change, diversity and digital transformation give the industry the opportunity to lead the movement to embrace a purpose-led and stakeholder-centred approach to business. The change, naturally, starts with mindsets and therefore investing in organisational development becomes vital in this process.
