6、vices 4 Dear colleagues, Two years of exploring the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial services revealed a critical need to examine the intersection of AI and other emerging technologies. This prompted the World Economic Forum (the Forum) and Deloitte Consulting LLP (Deloitte) to wi
7、den our lens of inquiry. Over the course of a year, we carried out more than 200 interviews with leading subject matter experts and senior executives across the spectrum of financial servicesincluding banking, payments, insurance, investment management, and capital markets. We also ran nine workshop
8、s in financial hubs around the world. The result is our latest report, Forging new pathways: The next evolution of innovation in financial services, which discusses the multiplier effect that can occur when emerging technologies are clustered strategically and applied to business problems in financi
9、al services. The document youre reading now is a summary of those findings. Our aim is to provide executives, regulators, and policymakers with a perspective on: New value propositions that financial institutions could offer at the intersection of emerging technologies Cross-sector opportunities tha
10、t emerging technologies might create, with implications for competitive dynamics and market structures The capabilities that emerging technologies could unlock, individually and in combination We hope this report sheds some light on the impact of emerging technologies on the future of financial serv

12、askideloitte.ca Prelude The multiplier effect | The imperative for coordinated technology deployment in financial services 5 Financial institutions today have gained the permission to pursue innovation at a pace and sophistication seldom seen before. Recent industry forces such as rising competition
13、 from non-traditional players, growing demands from customers across all segments, and increased flexibility from regulators have emphasized the imperative for innovation across the industry. Despite this permissive environment, the industry is still playing innovation catch-up. Financial institutio
14、ns continue to be burdened by legacy infrastructure and a lack of clear direction on how emerging technologies will shape and impact their strategic direction. And while technology is but one component of this equation, the sheer number of potentially transformative technologies maturing in a simila
15、r timeframeand the complex ways they can interconnectimplies that strategic decisions can no longer be technology agnostic. The financial services industry finds itself at a critical juncture. Both the opportunity and capability for transformative innovation are within reach for those willing to ris
16、e to the challenge. But will incumbent institutions take bold strides to transform infrastructures, operating models, and value propositions? Or will they allow the opportunity to pass them by? Of course, the latter route could invite further pressure from disruptors or increase exposure to future c
17、rises. While the answer to this question will define the calculus of winners and losers over the coming years, one thing is clear: Though powerful individually, when combined emerging technologies introduce an evolved set of capabilities poised to modernize the architecture of the financial institut
18、ion of the future. More specifically, Figure 1 shows four common ways emerging technologies work together to unlock new opportunities. As a first step, financial services executives should have a clear perspective on the new capability sets that emerging technologies unlock. However, capabilities al
19、one are only part of the puzzle. More important is understanding how these capabilities actually translate into new market structures and operating models in financial services, and the value propositions that institutions can develop to pursue them. Industry leaders have shared stories of how techn
20、ology conversations have become central to the senior executive and even board levels of institutions around the world. This points to a shift in how financial institutions will strategize and operate. Playing to win increasingly means considering the role technology will play when making strategic
21、decisions, and specifically what the most effective combination of human and digital capabilities will be.

The multiplier effect | The imperative for coordinated technology deployment in financial services 8 Assembling emerging technologies into common clusters, and exploring the capabi

We discovered a set of prominent “innovation pathways” that appear poised to shape the industrys futureon their own as well as collectively. These pathways, representing four of the m

The outer ring of the diagram shows an illustrative set of use cases that represent future value propositions indicative of the structural transformation des

The following discussion explores each innovation pathway in more detail, including the conditions under which the evolution is most likely to occur, the underlying capabilities driving this evolution, and highlights a key indicative value proposition for the pathway.

47、lue-added ecosystem Use case Dynamic life + health insurance The takeaway: By curating an ecosystem of financial and non-financial parties into a single offering and facilitating the secure flow of data, a dynamic life and health offering could help align incentives among the insurer (from better ri

Later that day, Emilys fitness tracker notifies her that she earned additional rewards from her insurer for going to the gym and meeting her weekly fitness targets. Emily can redeem these rewards for personalized benefits like at-home equipment, or bank the rewards for future use. A few days later, Emily goes to her routine dentist appointment. Her insurance company immediately reimburses her for the cost of the appointment and notifies
