Financial services companies—from established giants to new startups—face disruption from all sides. And as organizations explore new innovations to meet evolving customer needs, they must do so while considering risk management. We discuss this with: 

Ashley Butao, PMI-ACP, PMP, project manager, Capital One, Toronto: Butao discusses the biggest disruptions she’s seeing in the financial services sector, how agile approaches allow her teams to experiment and adapt fast, and how knowing your organization’s risk appetite can help teams balance innovation and risk management.

Stanley Jacob, PMP, chief executive at Stanbic IBTC Financial Services Limited, and VP of the Fintech Association of Nigeria, Lagos: Jacob talks about why teams must be constantly encouraged to innovate—and exposed to new innovations—plus the must-have skills for project leaders in financial services: knowledge of regulations and design thinking.
