3095: The Tech-Driven Future of Finance at Broadridge

How is the trifecta of blockchain, machine learning, and AI reshaping the future of financial services? Today, we're joined by Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer at Broadridge, to delve into the transformative power of digital technology within the financial sector. In this episode, we explore Broadridge's latest insights on digital transformation, highlighting the widening gap between digital leaders and those lagging behind. An astounding 75% of firms are confident in their digital strategies, yet only a third are at advanced stages in refining customer experiences, modernization, and data management. Rob shares that successful digital transformation is not just about technology but also involves a cultural shift within organizations. We discuss the barriers that institutions face, such as the challenge of prioritizing long-term transformation over short-term firefighting, attracting top-tier digital talent, and overcoming the inertia of traditional, internally focused approaches. Moreover, we'll cover the crucial role of AI in creating more engaging and personalized customer experiences. From AI-assisted form filling in insurance claims to persona-based interactions that aim for real-time personalization, financial services are on the brink of a major overhaul. Rob will also share insights on the cultural adjustments needed to integrate AI effectively, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and the development of "superhuman" capabilities through technology. Looking towards the future, Rob outlines a vision for 2025 and beyond, where blockchain, machine learning, and AI could enable real-time, 24/7 global transactions with enhanced decision-making processes and anomaly detection. He also provides advice for organizations at the early stages of their digital transformation journey, suggesting a focus on securing a top-down mandate, starting small with experiments, and being prepared to iterate based on feedback and results. Join us as we uncover how Broadridge is navigating these changes and what other financial institutions can learn from their journey.
