Did you know that Transition management practitioners have suggested that over two thirds of failed outsourcing relationships are due to transition-related challenges?

  – Beulen, Tiwari, van Heck, 2011

The lack of specific literature on this subject, has led to many misconceptions, starting with vocabulary, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings when discussing transition with non-experts.

An IT Outsourcing relationship always starts with a Transition, which is typically a complex program composed of several interrelated projects which can affect nearly every key aspect of the client business.

The goal of this webinar is to give you a high level understanding of transitions challenges in the context of an IT Outsourcing relationship.

Stephane will first describe the key phases of an IT Outsourcing and the associated vocabulary. We will then focus on the Transition, looking at what makes it different from many IT projects.

Presenter: Stephane Chalvin (LinkedIn profile) PMP is a French citizen that lived in the USA and UK. He has over 20 years of international IT experience. He has been leading IT Outsourcing Transitions and Transformations for large global accounts since 2006, most recently as a Transition Director for a global IT service provider.

The Banking Industry has been in turmoil for five years because of the financial crisis and has suffered a historic loss of confidence from the American public. The industry is at a crossroads. Who will survive and how?

Adapt or die. Bankers have been talking about regulatory burdens, new technology, and non-bank competitors for years. Now it is clear that there must be a change in banking’s most significant investments: the branch and its retail sales force.

This web seminar will explore the physical attributes of branches along with the people issues.

Grant Yarber (LinkedIn profile) will explore what changes you can make to not only lower costs, but improve customer service within your branches.

This will include some time spent on the use of Universal Bankers, when it is useful and when the traditional banking model still works. Lastly, we will share our vision of what it is going to take to be successful in retail banking over the next decade.

We will discuss:

  • Branch/Retail Workflow
  • Branch Architecture: new options and reconfiguring existing stores
  • Staffing Models: leveraging technology and architecture
  • Successfully Transitioning to New Models
  • New Skill Requirements and Training

Learn what your bank can do to position itself to not just survive, but to thrive the next decade.
