ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

Branch banking is on the front line of the COVID-19 crisis, which has created unprecedented change in nearly every aspect of our lives. For banks, those changes are likely to continue as we slowly migrate back to a “new normal” and beyond. Efficient execution and strategic change can be challenging under a normal business climate. However, this current crisis has amplified significant gaps in banking processes and tools, particularly in branch operational agility and execution effectiveness.

To eliminate the future risk these gaps pose and to improve future branch performance, banks need more modern solutions that support greater agility and execution excellence as they emerge from this crisis and establish the new normal. These solutions must be nimble enough to improve operational execution and communications during times of disruption and deliver clear economic value in a business-as-usual operating environment. 

In our discussion, we will review the weaknesses of the current branch staffing and execution management solutions. And we’ll present the future economic value gained by upgrading the current toolset, which can also mitigate similar risks from future disruptive events.

THIS WEBINAR WILL COVER:

  1. Current challenges with branch execution and agility.
  2. Benefits of modern software solutions in improving branch execution.
  3. Economic drag caused by existing inefficient tools and solutions.

TOP 3 BENEFITS TO ATTENDEES:

  1. How modern staffing tools solve the challenges posed by this crisis (and potential future events).
  2. How these same tools can power future branch transformation.
  3. The economic drivers that executives should focus on, and how these tools can power continual improvement.
