According to MIT, the biggest challenges to the innovation process include a lack of an innovation culture, fear of change, lack of ownership and vision, inadequate benchmarking and even impatience. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet or secret formula that can guarantee innovation success. But there are ways to make the odds of success greater. And it is not just new technology or a higher level of investment. I am excited to have Steve Monaghan on the Banking Transformed podcast. Steve's experience includes leading the innovation teams at several bank and non-bank organizations, including DBS Bank and Dell. In this episode, Steve discusses why banking innovation lags many other industries and what can be done to change this paradigm.
