Tremors:
The financial services sector was once siloed, excluding outsiders. Recently, community development has improved connectivity and collaboration, fostering a vibrant industry ecosystem. It has broken barriers, promoting diversity and supporting growth, enhancing connections and insights within FinTech and beyond.
Epicentre:
Communities in the financial services industry have evolved to become more externally facing and inclusive. The industry now works together more collaboratively, driven by changing customer demands and a focus on customer service. The impact of hybrid working has also influenced the shift towards virtual interactions and inclusive events.
Aftershocks:
Looking forward, the future of communities will be more digital-based yet retain importance of physical gatherings and connections. Businesses must adapt beyond traditional formats and leverage improved digital platforms to facilitate interactions.
