Andrew Vorster Speaking Topics
FinTech, InsurTech, RegTech – all have seen unprecedented levels of investment in recent years, with multiple “Unicorn” births of companies with $1 Billion plus valuations.
What are the technologies and trends enabling and accelerating this activity?
So what are the implications to the incumbent institutions and the entire Financial Services ecosystem?
With over ten years of Financial Services experience behind him (most recently as VP of Technology R&D at Visa Europe) and a continued involvement in FinTech and the startup scene, Andrew is a regular “provocateur” on global stages like Money2020 where he is known for his strong opinions and energetic audience engagement as he constantly challenges thinking around:-
NOW WHAT should you be doing about it???
Duration – 45 mins
To become an innovative organization, department or individual, you have to think beyond the “idea funnel” approach adopted by so many organizations.
This colorful, high energy session introduces a metaphor that provides an overview of the wide range of activities that will get the entire organization inspired and involved in moving the dial from “innovation is something done over there” to “WE are all innovative!”.
This works at the level of a small team, through a department or division, out to an entire organization, regardless of it’s size. The feedback has been great so far – I’ve even had a COO recount 2 instances of staff behavior change that had a positive impact on their business within a few hours of the session!
Standard duration – 45 minutes; also available in an 18-minute fast-paced “TED talk” style
Retail has been hit hard by technology change in recent years – but it’s bouncing back with a vengeance!
Customers expectations are high and retailers have a huge opportunity to leverage new and emerging technologies to capture their hearts and minds and deliver experiences that exceed those of the past.
This session covers the technologies and trends that are having the greatest impact on the retail environment today and provides insights into startups and adjacent opportunities to explore in order to exceed the exponential expectations of your customers.
Duration – 45 mins
Innovation requires a blend of both Art and Science - left brain and right brain thinking. Many people focus on the "science" side of things - the processes, frameworks, methodologies and mechanics of innovation. But, innovation is a uniquely (for now at least) human capability and humans need to be inspired and motivated to THINK and BE more innovative in everything they do.
Inspiring Innovation is an Art and Andrew Vorster takes you on a highly visual and thought provoking walk through his personal "art gallery" of photos he has taken, while sharing relevant, real world anecdotes and words of wisdom from great minds that have inspired and motivated him on his journey to date.
This is an energizing and uplifting session that will inspire audiences to think differently about their role and contribution to the innovation and transformation of your organization.
Duration - flexible between 25-45 minutes
This session contains images from Andrew's book of the same title.
Knowing your customers is key to increasing trust and loyalty – but how well do you REALLY know them?
Andrew Vorster will take you on a personal journey that starts way back in his past and continues with his experience of an institution that he trusted deeply (who should have known him better than even his wife does………). He will highlight the implications of their use of data and how it has impacted his loyalty, while providing insights into the emerging data economy with the aim of stimulating discussion and thinking around the data you have on your customers and how it can be used to mutual benefit, to increase advocacy and loyalty by meeting your customer’s expectations.
Duration – 30 minutes; this session can also be delivered in an 18 minute “TED Talk” style
