As moderator Britt Jensen pointed out, for a panel about technology, there was surprisingly very little talk about actual systems. Instead, the focus was on people and teamwork – perhaps there’s no moving away from the human element, even when it’s about technology.
Asked to sum up the “dos” of technological implementation, Simonson emphasised the importance of defining what is to be achieved. Löfgren agreed, but reminded the audience to celebrate the achievements when they happen. Christensen was all about the importance of a budget – “define the budget so that you can bring the value you want to bring.”
Overall, the panellists agreed on one point: Do not think that you can do it on your own, and always build a team with expertise to go on the journey of technological transformation with you.
The panellists were:
Netta Christensen, Head of Global Cash Management, Maersk,
Malin Löfgren, Global Cash Manager, Volvo Group, and
Fredrik Simonson, Senior Manager, Zanders,
under moderation by Britt Jensen, Client Advisory, Treasury and Trade Solutions, Citi.
