Modernizing core banking systems is a critical initiative for banks to stay competitive and meet their customers' evolving needs.

Next-generation core banking platforms enable a new way forward. Modern core banking platforms enable real innovation by reducing cost and time-to-market. They help break down technological constraints, enabling banks to evolve more quickly and accelerate their development of new client offerings.

Core banking modernization strategies with Industry Cloud

“Are we recruiting and retaining the right people?” 
“Are we efficient?” 
“Do we really need to add headcount?” 

Whether you are fielding tough questions like these or justifying a request for funding/resources, data is an effective tool for getting what you want - but only if you use it wisely. 

In this session, we’ll share pointers shared by HR leaders on how to effectively guide executive decisions with workforce data through four simple steps: 
1) Calculating Metrics
2) Comparing to Others 
3) Providing Context
4) Setting Reasonable Goals

You’ll learn how to tell a story about your current situation, teach your audience just enough to properly evaluate your data, and set the stage for a reasonable outcome.

Four Steps to Successful Workforce Decisions

Now more than ever, consumers are willing to take their wallets elsewhere if their expectations aren’t met. In fact, according to a 2022 survey by PwC, 26% of US consumers stopped using or buying from a brand in the past year, and bad experiences were the overwhelming reasons why.

To learn how to develop strong, lasting, and high-value customer relationships, join us for a live Tech-Talk Webinar, presented by PwC. Our guests will share how marketers can use first-party data to take their loyalty programs to the next level.

You’ll gain expertise in:

Join Susan Smith, PwC Financial Markets and Real Estate Director, and Amy Olson, PwC Financial Markets and Real Estate Senior Manager, for a discussion around Investor Survey’s third quarter nationwide survey findings. Building on decades of commercial real estate survey data, get ready to learn about current market trends and near-term expectations extracted from surveys gathered from over 100 active investors in the CRE marketplace.
They will explore how:
  • Overall cap rates continue to shift across the U.S. office, retail, warehouse, and apartment sectors both on a 
       quarterly and year-over-year basis.
  • Forecast value change expectations remain disappointing for the survey’s 22 office markets and reflect a 
       growing pessimism among office investors. 
  • Investors view of the current bid-ask pricing gap, as well as whether markets are overpriced, underpriced or 
       fairly priced.
  • The PwC Real Estate Barometer gauges each property sector’s shift across the cycle phases (contraction, 
       expansion, recession, recovery) in the near term.

More than a data source,; Investor Survey, a PwC product, provides in-depth information related to capitalization and discount rates, as well as other key cash flow assumptions. Investor Survey results cover over 40 national, regional, and city-level markets across the five main commercial real estate property sectors, including information on national niche property sectors. With a focus on data integrity, user experience and quarterly updates, commercial real estate professionals, like appraisers, investors, lenders, and managers can have greater confidence in their valuation conclusions. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear how Investor Survey gives CRE professionals the information they need to better select their valuation assumptions and have greater confidence in their conclusions.

In today’s battle for top talent, retention is top-of-mind for business leaders, with 83% of CFOs citing hiring and retaining talent as key to growth. The pain of the Great Resignation is real. Those pressures–– combined with increased regulations and stakeholder calls for transparency––are pushing companies to examine their initiatives around critical workforce issues, including:

● Hiring

Now more than ever, people are at the heart of an organization’s ability to grow and compete. Learn how the right people analytics can help you build better workforce experiences and achieve your business goals.

Saratoga Benchmarking and People Analytics

In the past two years, there’s been a 47% uptick in citizen automation programs. And with good results. Organizations that involve employees in their automation efforts—and that upskill and reward citizen developers—see higher revenue benefits, reduced expenses, and improved work quality. This includes finance, accounting, and tax functions.

PwC and UiPath sponsored an IDC study to explore the features and impacts of these initiatives. Get ready to dig into the results.

Join Maureen Fleming, Program VP, WW Intelligent Process Automation Market Research at IDC, Kevin Kroen, PwC’s Intelligent Automation Leader, and Brandon Nott, Senior Vice President of Products at UiPath for insights and an interactive discussion about the roles of employees and the enterprise in citizen-led automation programs.

They’ll explore how:
• 72% of automation adopters gain significant benefits from citizen developer participation, including boosts in revenue and work quality—and reduced costs.
• Organizations lacking a citizen developer program can lag behind their competitors.
• Building and improving citizen automation programs takes investment, upskilling, rewards programs, and a willingness to evolve.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from intelligent automation and upskilling leaders about success stories, leading practices, and the latest research on how citizen developers—and the upskilling programs that train them—add value to the enterprise and help increase the speed of business.

The complimentary IDC report, "Accelerating the Impact of Robotic Process Automation" discussed in the webinar will also be available for attendees to download at the webinar's conclusion.

How to slow #TheGreatResignation in your workforce

Investors, regulators, and other stakeholders are keenly focused on ESG disclosures. Companies not only need to be more transparent about their ESG strategies and metrics, but they also need to ensure their disclosures are "investment grade". 

Yet many organizations are grappling with a myriad of ESG reporting standards and frameworks and numerous requests for transparency and reporting from different stakeholder groups. New technologies can help companies prioritize their reporting and disclosure efforts, and leverage data-driven insights to inform more strategic decisions around their ESG strategy.

Join Kelli Rogge, PwC ESG Director, and Ryan Renaud, PwC ESG Manager, for a discussion on leading practices in ESG reporting, specifically:

• Aligning your reporting with management's strategy for long-term value creation.  
• Adopting the generally accepted reporting standards and frameworks that are appropriate for your stakeholders (e.g., SASB, TCFD, GRI). 
• Using technologies like PwC’s ESG Pulse to obtain a rapid overview of the current maturity of reporting processes and gain insight on areas for improvement in the reporting process. 
• Building robust ESG policies, processes and controls, and oversight. 
• Navigating the ESG technology landscape towards better integrating with the corporate environment. 
• Involving the finance organization, internal and external auditors to bring confidence and trust to disclosures.

Using smart ESG technologies to navigate the journey to investor-grade reporting

Shareholder profitability is no longer the only measure used to determine corporate success. Investors and other stakeholders are broadening their understanding of how companies can create value, looking to ESG performance as an additional layer to understand long-term risk adjusted returns. For business leaders, adapting to this new way of understanding corporate performance is no easy feat. 

To thrive, leaders need to get under the hood of their business, capturing key data to measure their ESG performance and identify areas with room for improvement. 

In Episode 8 of The ESG Innovation Hub, we’re joined by PwC who will be exploring how the ESG movement is impacting how we understand business performance and sharing industry-leading practices to confirm your ESG data is ‘investor grade.’

Join the session to explore:

- Rethinking business performance: how to think about success in the context of ESG
- How to best tell your ESG story with authenticity and credibility
- Automated reporting: how innovations in tech are shaping the future of ESG

Speakers:
- Sara DeSmith, ESG Partner, PwC
- Jessica Dow, ESG Director, PwC

The ESG Innovation Hub is hosted by Georgina Mitchell, Consultant, WellHouse Consulting.

Marketing Analytics in a Cookieless and Privacy-Focused World with Customer Link

Over the course of the pandemic, many business leaders have come to realize that the skills their organizations will need in the future are not the same ones they’ve required in the past. There are three main ways businesses can manage skills shortages: hire new talent, reskill current staff or upskill employees.

Join PwC's Susie Patton, Alexandra Hom and Mona Jolly as they discuss how to more accurately identify skills gaps and mismatches so you can help make your organization future-proof. You will learn:

Why hiring new talent may seem like a simple solution to a complex problem—and what makes it so difficult
What it takes to reskill employees so they can do different jobs than the ones they have now
How upskilling has become essential to organizations today, and the key considerations for getting it right

Join us as we discuss the upskilling approach, and what you should know before you get started.

Speakers:
Susie Patton, Senior Manager
Mona Jolly, Director
Alexandra Hom, Director

Upskill, reskill or hire? The impact of upskilling on workforce transformation

Your workforce needs to look different than it did five years ago. Digital transformation, disruptions like COVID, and the emergence of new digital tools to drive efficiencies all require more than just investing in technology. You also need to know when to use it, how to manage it, and what skills will have the most impact on your company.

Join PwC's Matt Rice and Satpreet Grewal as they discuss PwC's upskilling journey, and provide context to consider your own company's:
- Capability to identify gaps in key digital skills across your most critical roles
- Readiness for future disruptions such as the current pandemic
- Ability to work differently, improve productivity, and leverage new technology
- Measurement of the success of your digital transformation efforts

Preparing the workforce for the future will require commitment, but the cost of inaction could be even higher. How do you know if upskilling is an investment you should prioritize? Is your company on a path to generate value from digital skills development? Find out where you stand, uncover skills gaps and learn recommended next steps to start your own upskilling journey.

Speakers: 
Matthew Rice, Director
Satpreet Grewal, Director

Upskilling is critical: Is your company ready?

According to a recent IDC study, the adoption of industry clouds is spiking fast. Their rapid growth is fueled by their ability to combat business volatility and shorten the path to value for cloud transformation initiatives. With the usage of industry clouds more than doubling from 2021 to 2023, benchmarks of successful transformation are starting to emerge across industries. (1)

Join guest speaker Nadia Ballard, Research Manager, Industry Clouds, Solutions and Verticalization Strategies at IDC and Sumit Abilius, Consulting Solutions Director, Cloud and Digital at PwC to learn more about the three emerging indicators of a successful industry cloud transformation, including:

- The preparation needed to address the challenges brought on by industry cloud, such as difficult implementation and integration
- The importance of partnerships and the capabilities and components they can provide to generate value for the end user
- How strong ecosystems and individuals within these ecosystems, contribute to the breadth of business outcomes that can be achieved

The benefits of industry cloud are clear: built-in regulatory compliance and access to the latest technology tools, to name a few. But achieving value and better customer journeys requires the right preparation, ecosystems and partners to support your cloud transformation. In this webcast, we’ll examine what makes an industry cloud successful and take a look at how PwC is helping its clients focus on their customer journeys, not the underlying tech.
