Executive Summary

Forrester's customer advocacy rankings show that retail financial services firms aren't meeting the current needs of customers. What's causing the problem? Organizational silos. But Forrester sees an end to this status quo. The changing needs of customers, increasing competitive pressure, and emerging technology capabilities will push leading firms to break down their internal silos and create innovative new products and services. As the industry goes through this change, firms will need to master five new skills: customer-centric DNA, solution management, cross-channel process agility, integrated merchandising, and interactive education.
