The Hidden Friction Killing Bank Innovation Before It Starts
Experts from Granite MENA, Verityx, and Finbridge Global have identified key reasons why innovation within banks experiences significant delays. They argue that 'hidden friction' stemming from a lack of pre-validation, poor standardization, insufficient collaboration, and vague problem definitions hampers the transition from idea to implementation.
To enhance the speed and effectiveness of innovation, the contributors suggest that banks should focus on establishing clearer objectives, streamlining their processes, and fostering collaborative environments. By doing so, banks could better manage innovation and bring new products and services to market more efficiently.
Key takeaways
- ▸The current banking innovation process is hindered by hidden friction.
- ▸Key areas for improvement include pre-validation, standardization, and clearer problem definition.
- ▸Collaboration among teams is essential for speeding up innovation in banks.
Why this matters
Addressing these friction points could lead to quicker deployment of innovative financial products, improving competition among banks and ultimately benefiting consumers with more efficient services. Failure to adapt may cause banks to lag behind fintech firms that are more agile in their approach to innovation.
