DESCRIPTION
Innovation in financial services has never been greater, yet so many financial institutions have such poor relationships with their customers. Why? So much of the innovation in financial services has been about improving transactions, but financial services are inherently collaborative. How can we shift our innovation focus from transactions to relationships?

The tailwinds that helped the financial services industry during most of our careers have mostly turned to headwinds…

2008

Most importantly, 2008 was not just a bad year, or the start of a rough patch…
10© JP Nicols, 2012-13
… It’s an important milestone at the start of whole new era.
Let’s look at the industry through a familiar lens:

Threat of Substitution

Supplier Power

The number of banks is shrinking, but that’s not a positive force. Those that remain have greater market power.
Threat of New Entry

Financial services companies used to be gatekeepers of closed platforms and asymmetrical information, but customer power is growing and their expectations are changing.

Perhaps most profound, financial services companies used to have no real substitutes…

No wonder we’re not perceived as being a very innovative industry.

So, how do we avoid the Fate of the “Dumb Pipes”?

It’s not about your branch network, or your ATMs or even your mobile banking platform. Those are just your “dumb pipes”
33© JP Nicols, 2012-13
It’s about the quality of the content you can deliver through those pipes.
34© JP Nicols, 2012-13
And it’s about the quality of the relationships you have with your customers.

OK.So, how do we refocus our innovation from transactions to relationships?
Four Imperatives

1 2
3 4
38© JP Nicols, 2012-13
First, we have to shift our focus from execution to diagnosis.
In healthcare terms…
39© JP Nicols, 2012-13
… we have to focus our people’s time on more psychotherapy, and less on handing out prescriptions.

Technology can increasingly help us run our business. But there is no replacement for actually understanding the problem.

And we have to understand the whole picture.
A Need for Aggregated Data
44© JP Nicols, 2012-13
45© JP Nicols, 2012-13
Second, we have to build trust and loyalty with our customers.

Building Trustand Loyalty
48© JP Nicols, 2012-13
In other words, uur customer have to perceive (and believe) that we:
• Know what we’re talking about,• Will do what we say we will do,• Understand them deeply (more on that later), and most importantly…• Will look out for their best interest
49© JP Nicols, 2012-13
First build trust. Loyalty come from consistently providing value.
Third, we have to move from product development…
50© JP Nicols, 2012-13
51© JP Nicols, 2012-13
You know, that process where you launch a product your team has been asking for, then point fingers internally when results fail to meet plan.
…To customer development
52© JP Nicols, 2012-13
53© JP Nicols, 2012-13
A customer-centric process that makes sure you are solving a problem or meeting a need that paying customers actually care about.
54© JP Nicols, 2012-13
How do we do that?
That’s our fourth imperative… We have to engage the ecosystem.
Engaging the Ecosystem
55© JP Nicols, 2012-13
56© JP Nicols, 2012-13
Before we launch anything, we need to understand what problems our customers want solved, what the value chain looks like and what help we’re going to need from our partners, vendors, etc., and…
We have to avoid co-innovation risk and adoption chain risk along the
way
57© JP Nicols, 2012-13
58© JP Nicols, 2012-13
It’s not easy, but it’s not rocket science.
59© JP Nicols, 2012-13
If we can shift from execution to diagnosis, build trust and loyalty, move from product development to customer development and engage the ecosystem…
60© JP Nicols, 2012-13
Financial services firms can move from transactions to relationships, and innovate new paths to profitable growth.
