Latest Thinking

Beyond compliance

Financial institutions have begun to address misconduct issues within their ranks, but resolving them for the long term will require much more than just tightening rules and regulations.

Redefining Competitiveness

The old model of market lifecycles is gone. Today’s market lifecycles are characterized by violent success and then dramatic decline—a shark fin, not a bell curve. Competing requires using digital technology to gain organizational agility, enable innovation and drive profitable growth.
Workforce of the Future

Digital is about cold efficiency and doing away with the human touch. Right? Wrong. Technology is making the work experience—and the workforce—more democratic, more networked, more human.

Digital Disruption

Not ready for digital disruption? Bad news: Your customers are. And the companies that meet their needs first will gain a competitive advantage difficult for rivals to overcome.
Global Operating Model

Transforming enterprises by creating flexible and durable operating models that deliver products and services in a consistent way to customers on a global scale.
Open Innovation

To compete successfully, companies need to break out and leverage an ecosystem that offers new sources of innovation. How? Enter the bridge-maker—connecting multiple organizations, fueling breakthroughs at scale.
