The Financial Art of Experimental Banking

Is now a good time for businesses to be bold and is the banking sector in particular ready for a radical overhaul? Welcome to the latest episode of DockPod, which is produced by The Dock, Accenture’s flagship R&D and global innovation center. We are living through tough times: Along with the ongoing threat to public health, the global economy is under severe pressure and many countries are experiencing their worst unemployment rates in decades. Given these circumstances, it could seem counter-intuitive for industries such as banking to pick this moment to initiate significant change. Yet, this is exactly what some experts think should happen. And some are making the case that banks should seize this moment to re-define their entire purpose and focus on serving society more. In this episode, we are joined by Accenture Interactive’s head of innovation and Fjord founder Mark Curtis, financial services lead at The Dock Conor McAndrew, and innovation delivery lead Sara Harrison. DockPod is produced by The Dock, Accenture’s flagship R&D and global innovation center. It is presented by Laurence Mackin and Sinead O’Shea.
