Business Transformation Top Priority for European Financial Institutions

A new survey for Process Excellence Professionals within the Financial Services industry has shown that Business Transformation and process optimisation are the top priorities for 2010-2011.

London, United Kingdom, July 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- IQPC Exchange asked its European network of senior Process Excellence Executives to detail their key challenges and priorities through 2010 and beyond. Developing the IT infrastructure and implementation of new systems rated highly in the quest to achieve greater business agility in unstable markets and to seize growth opportunities wherever they appeared. 57% also said they were looking to invest in BPM software in the next year as well as process mapping and modelling tools – all geared towards lowering cost, streamlining and showing better returns.

Patrick Ryder, Director of the Business Process Excellence in Financial Services Exchange; “Given the economic turmoil, it would seem that, for financial institutions, the importance of business transformation, cost reduction, increasing efficiency and customer centricity has never been greater.”

“But do institutions still have the appetite to make the necessary investment to achieve these goals? This is why events like the Business Process Excellence in Financial Services Exchange are so important. It’s a platform for these high level professionals to meet, exchange experience and get inspired” Ryder continues.

Speakers at the conference include; Toby Redshaw, Global CIO, Aviva; Malcolm Eastwood, Head of Change Delivery, HSBC; Bernhard Joos, Vice President, IT, Credit Suisse; Jem Eskenazi, CIO, Groupama Insurances; Marika Brine, Continuous Improvement Leader, SEB Life; Thom Keehan, COO & Business Transformation Leader, GE Capital Romania; Kirsteen Caldow, Director, Process Transformation Team, Standard Life Investments; Abhijit Gupta, Chief Architect & SOA Lead Deutsche Bank; Debashis Sarkar, Head of Organisational Excellence, ICICI Bank.
