In this edition of Frontiers in Finance we cover what senior leaders are doing to deal with disruption and where they are in their transformational journey.

We both illuminate the nature of the turbulence in which we our clients find themselves and explore strategies for successful responses. From the constant struggle with disruption and challenge; the transformation being driven by digital technology and the data revolution, the demands for greater customer centricity; and the continuing increase in the demands and constraints imposed by governments and regulators; the issues are far reaching and the solutions require a strategic approach.
