Programme overview

Introduction:

Digital banking transformation is the subject of this 5-day course for bank strategy, retail and corporate banking, operations, IT and innovation staff, who produce a Digital Banking Transformation Roadmap for a case bank. Many banks run mobile apps, onboarding tools and fintech pilots in parallel while legacy core systems slow every release and digital adoption stalls below plan. Nominees already manage banking products, channels, operations or systems, and teaching is by case study on customer journeys, channel data and investment choices. This digital banking transformation course is delivered by CoreConcept Training Center.

Course Objectives:

  • Compare digital bank and neobank operating models and select the model that fits a bank's customer segments and licence position
  • Design a channel strategy that assigns mobile, internet banking, contact centre and branch of the future roles by customer need
  • Evaluate core banking modernisation routes and API partnership options against risk, cost and time to market
  • Redesign onboarding, lending and payments journeys using eKYC, instant credit decisioning and customer data
  • Set digital adoption KPIs and select back-office processes for automation and channel migration
  • Build a digital banking transformation roadmap and business case ready for executive committee approval

  • Managers responsible for bank strategy, transformation offices and digital investment planning

Why Attend This Course:

  • Deliver a Digital Banking Transformation Roadmap for a case bank that the executive committee and transformation office can review and adapt
  • Decide which core banking modernisation route and partnership model suit the bank's legacy estate and risk appetite
  • Avoid funding digital channels that customers ignore by tying every initiative to adoption and cost-to-serve targets
  • Share journey maps, KPI trees and automation scoring templates with product, operations and IT colleagues

Conclusion:

Once participants return, the bank's executive committee and transformation office can use the Digital Banking Transformation Roadmap to decide which digital bank model, channel changes, core modernisation steps and journey redesigns to fund first. Product, operations and IT managers can apply the onboarding funnel, automation scoring and adoption KPI tree within their own units. After the first funding cycle, the roadmap should be reviewed against actual digital adoption, cost-to-serve and release speed, and the business case assumptions updated before the next wave is approved.
