DESIGN THINKING AS A CORE PART OF ANY STRATEGIC REVIEW
Don't repeat the same mistakes of your last strategic review. We're huge advocates of using the latest Design Thinking practices to frame and influence your new go-to-market strategy and customer value propositions. We employ Customer Journey Thinking, through an understanding of functional, emotional and social needs to ensure that your transaction services strategy meets client and partner expectations. We utilise our 4D approach (Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver) so that your strategy is not only fully executable, but aligns with a clear and compelling North Star for your business.
Contact us now to hear how we can help you with developing a new Strategy for your Transaction Services business.
BANK APIS: THE NEW BATTLEGROUND
Attend any corporate treasurers conference these days (even if virtually!) and you'll hear bankers talking up the future benefits of smart contracts, distributed ledger technologies and generative AI. But probably the most transformational change already taking place in how companies manage banking services is the adoption of APIs. The commercialisation of APIs is a great way for transaction service providers to differentiate themselves - testing the mettle of every corporate banking sales team and marketing department.
Contact us now to find out how we can help you design and deliver an API catalogue across your transaction banking services.
NZ BUSINESS BANK BRAND ATTRIBUTES
We were recently involved in a nationwide client voice program with East & Partners to assess how New Zealand wholesale and business banks are being viewed by corporates, mid-market and small to medium sized enterprises. The study involved interviewing business owners, treasurers, finance managers, CFOs and CEOs across 615 NZ companies, from diverse industries.
