Design Thinking Training Series for Banking & Finance Sectors
Design thinking is crucial in the banking and finance sectors due to its customer-centric approach that enhances service innovation. This methodology fosters empathy with users, leading to services that accurately meet customer needs and improve satisfaction.
In the financial sector, adopting design thinking is not merely about staying competitive. It is about redefining the business models that align closely with the needs and expectations of modern consumers, leveraging technology for greater efficiency and engaging in more meaningful interactions with customers. This approach not only leads to innovative products and services but also builds a foundation for sustained growth and customer loyalty in the digital era.
In fact, we successfully led a bank in retaining their high-value customers through a Design Thinking-based customer experience enhancement project, resulting in over $3 billion in additional income from deposits, investments, and insurance services. Additionally, we guided an insurance company in enhancing its social selling model, achieving a 127% increase in the closing rate from new clients. These successful projects were published in the Hong Kong Design Thinking Business Casebook 2019 and 2020.

We have launched a dual-certificate training course with the Vocational Training Council (VTC) to help banking and finance practitioners enhance their 8 competencies.
