With the Impact of the credit crunch being felt around the world it is undoubtedly a difficult time for many businesses, none more so than those in the financial sector. This edition of CSC's business journal Smart Business, draws on the key issues facing all sectors, the lessons being learned and the new strategies and ideas coming to the fore.
We start with Archie Kane, Chairman of the Association of British Insurers who gives his view of the insurance industry, the remarkable changes it has undergone in recent years and what the future holds, both for the industry and the rest of the economy. We hear from CSC client Zurich Financial Services how they have successfully used outsourcing to accelerate their growth, and from experts on the latest developments in wealth management. Ian McCafferty, the CBI’s Chief Economist rounds off this issue forecasting a bumpy ride ahead, but highlights a few reasons for us still to be cheerful.
I hope you find Smart Business, an enjoyable and informative read. If you’d like to discuss how CSC could help your business succeed through the next generation of technology then please get in touch with me. We’d be delighted to talk, please contact ukmarketing@csc.com
