Description

Building an innovation culture : Ways to inspire cultural change and embrace innovation

Alice Danoy, Khube Leader, KPMG Luxembourg

Sabrina Bonnet, Senior Manager, People & Change, KPMG Luxembourg

Change is imperative. Yet many financial organizations’ large-scale transformation initiatives meet with setbacks, delays and even failure. Those that succeed are soon confronted with a painful truth: they are not leapfrogging.

At best, transformation can put these organizations on par with their newer, more nimble competitors. As the pace of change continues to accelerate, organizations across the financial services industry are seeking the way forward. Financial institutions must create the agility and digital capacity to compete with the start-ups and hyperscales encroaching on the financial sector to achieve long-term success — but how?

There are three steps to achieving success in the innovation space. During the webinar Alice and Sabrina will share with you KPMG’s best practices on how to:

• Build an innovation culture – Leadership & inspiration
• Build innovative solutions in collaboration with the business – the importance of cross functional collaboration
• See employees and customers as a R&D department – Crowdsource employee insight and solutions

All three of these steps are necessary, but they must be worked through in order to achieve success. Culture, therefore, is the foundation upon which all successful innovation must be built — and it is in the development of innovation culture where many financial institutions go awry.
