WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:02.813 (gentle music) 2 00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:14.910 As a child, I always loved complex puzzles like this one, 3 00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:17.220 and as I grew up, that turned into a love 4 00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:20.700 of theoretical mathematics and a PhD. 5 00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.280 But over the years, I've come to realize 6 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.900 that the most interesting challenges 7 00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:27.600 aren't about wrapping your head around complexity. 8 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.810 The most exciting challenges to me are finding ways 9 00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:33.690 to make something complex seem simple, 10 00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:36.120 and that's the main reason why I created 11 00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:38.463 Smart Banking AI by BCG X. 12 00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:42.150 Banks are hugely complex organizations. 13 00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:45.840 In theory, they are blessed with deeper, richer information 14 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.730 about their customers and their needs, 15 00:00:47.730 --> 00:00:50.430 more than almost any other industry. 16 00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:53.070 But of course, things are complicated: 17 00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:55.860 fragmented data, legacy tech stacks, 18 00:00:55.860 --> 00:00:58.950 and siloed ways of working mean that banks often struggle 19 00:00:58.950 --> 00:01:01.830 to connect the dots that will turn this rich information 20 00:01:01.830 --> 00:01:05.220 into real insights and more personalized services. 21 00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:08.130 Smart Banking AI overcomes these challenges, 22 00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:10.800 bringing data sources into a single platform 23 00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:13.410 using tailored algorithms, machine learning, 24 00:01:13.410 --> 00:01:17.250 to create signals which guide and inform banker actions. 25 00:01:17.250 --> 00:01:20.280 For bankers, something fundamentally complex 26 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.590 is now much simpler. 27 00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:26.130 Smart Banking AI implementations can directly improve 28 00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:28.710 both banker and customer satisfactions, 29 00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:30.330 drive bottom line impact, 30 00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:34.380 enhance risk management, and optimize compliance processes. 31 00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:37.560 Rolling out Smart Banking AI to a new client 32 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.460 and their special set of complexities is always exciting, 33 00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:44.010 and the impact of taming those complexities 34 00:01:44.010 --> 00:01:46.140 never ceases to amaze me. 35 00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:49.260 Financial institutions using Smart Banking AI 36 00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:52.770 report cost reduction of 30% or more in key processes, 37 00:01:52.770 --> 00:01:55.050 significant sustained revenue uplift 38 00:01:55.050 --> 00:01:57.720 through more effective sales customer services, 39 00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:00.660 and a reduction in churn of over 15%. 40 00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:04.200 These improvements can take businesses to the next level. 41 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.540 They can completely transform the business model 42 00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:09.360 of a payment company or the entire way 43 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.910 in which a bank underwrites credit risk. 44 00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:15.060 Solving such problems is still what I love to do, 45 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:17.280 and seeing the end results for our clients, 46 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.650 well, I still feel a bit like a kid 47 00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.923 slotting that final piece off the puzzle into place. 48 00:02:23.770 --> 00:02:26.353 (gentle music)
