Digital Thought : A Strategic Imperative for Banks Operating in a VUCA World

Authors(2) :-Shantanu Kumar, Dr. Sheelan Misra

Banks competing in the VUCA world base their strategic planning on competition, regulations and macro-economic indicators, in general. Strategic mandates arising out these segments are often implemented using technology initiatives. Beyond the conventional IT efforts, the realm of digital thought requires strategic attention. This is necessitated by the pervasiveness of digital ways of doing business and the flexibility and agility that they offer. It is no longer a matter of choice but more of an imperative for survival. The work explores the focal points covered by strategic planning process and brings out the dependence on digital paradigm for implementation. Incorporation of Digital Thought in the strategic planning process is proposed as a solution to cover the gap.
