Kevin’s presentation entitled, “Retail 2020: Branch Transformation and Experience Design in a Time of Disruptive Change,” explains how retail strategies and physical branch environments must transform to meet the needs of consumers as financial retail market evolves.
Within the upcoming decade, the financial industry will undergo more changes than they have in the last century, heavily due to ever-changing technological advances and retail demands.
