Morning Keynote Session: Reimagining the Corporate Actions Operating Model
 

How can we build scale into our corporate actions operations today? In the face of numerous challenges across the event lifecycle, how and where are we transforming our operating models to support growth?

Corporate action transformation is central to our industry's change agenda in 2022 and beyond.

  • In the face of cost pressures, new settlement, corporate actions disciplines, and accelerated transaction lifecycles, what role does our technology play as an enabler or obstacle to significant change?

  • Driven by changes in regulation, market behaviors, and customer needs, organisations are working harder than ever to define the right target operating model for the next generation of corporate events. How have market developments changed your views on the ideal target operating model?

Future-Proofing Models for Asset Servicing
 



How do we future proof our corporate actions models, and what client and market demands will drive changes to our current models. How should we leverage cloud more effectively and how will this impact our existing models and where are the opportunities for ecosystem transformation. CA has been cited as a perfect use case for DLT – but we have only seen very localised live use cases – why is this and what should we change in our approach, if anything. What are the opportunities in AI and ML – where are we seeing progress and what should be done to accelerate this path. And should we still target a journey towards utility models and if so what are the steps along that path
