30 In that perspective several compelling strategic questions still remain to be answered by Retail Banks Operating model transformation depth & speed Do we truly keep up with the pace of digital change of our (current and future) customers? What needs to change now? by 2017? By 2020? How to accelerate? Digital banking assets & skills How well are we doing at building the right assets & skills to compete in a digital world? How to embed digital innovation in all that we do? Cost transformation and value creation How to engage a more radical cost transformation in order to profitably embrace Digital? IT model How can we adapt our legacy IT architecture to accommodate for Digital? Is it sufficient to digitize our existing omni-channel IT or should a pure-play platform get prepared and possibly become the end-game model? Source: Interviews; A.T. Kearney analysis A.T.
