So we have a very interesting list of speakers today,
and the first one is
a welcoming speech for Roberto Battaglia from Banca Intesa
thank you.
Good morning everyone,
it's a really great pleasure for us
to host to you in this building and this space
we opened more than 6 months ago
this is one of our importance we recently opened
and in particularly in this floor we
set up an innovation center
as David mentioned quite different from an idea from a traditional bank
in terms of spaces, in terms of offices and so on
our idea of innovation
and that is the reason why we logged
our innovation center
is that innovation is certainly
in an organization structure, an innovation means
a specific space but
innovation means something beyond the idea of an organization
because our objective is
to faster the growth of our bank and what we care about around us
and to do this, when we started, more the less, one year ago
ah, thank you
we thought about our role when we talk about innovation
and in this chart, you can see a couple of things
on one hand, there are different levels of innovation
and within our company and in this space
and structure, we are working in particular
in these 2 levels, the next level is the "Disruptive" level
because one of the important things is that we are in the middle
of a lot of challenges and threats
and we talk about banking and financial sector
and facing these challenges means
not only to limit our focus
on the financial products and services
as you can see, we are looking for a lot of
trends, a lot of challenges
because, we have to
look for these trends, means that how we can play a role as a bank
in this type of industries or challenges
and on the other hand
how we can support it all to develop new opportunities
sometimes to develop new business models
the second important thing is that
talking about innovation as I mentioned
means not only to be competent about innovation
in this department we have 80 people that are working on different projects
but for us the idea is that
innovation is an ecosystem
made up on the one hand, all the business unit
and the function we have withing our group
and in that sense we are working
together with them not only to find new challenges
but to develop and to codesign
solutions and on the other hand all the external ecosystem
is really important
that means not only our share holders
our customers, but also research center university
venture capitalists, startups and so on
the idea of innovation is open obviously and we have to
work really hard to achieve this result
innovation is also a network
we set up an Italian international network
composed of colleagues that are working on innovation
not only supporting our customers in particular
small and medium enterprises but also
with some innovation point we have
in these important areas in the world
the idea is that, innovation means
first of all to observe reality to observe all the trends
and try to connect these trends with
specific demand
in that sense
the function of innovation center
our due to not only serve our customers but
starting from the idea that innovation is measuring
is planning activities, is delivering
on the other hand we have said to research and to go in different challenges
and on the other hand to accelerate our project
defining a specific agenda
specific strategy, we set up
and in that sense we have a part of our colleagues that are working on this idea
acceleration
another important function is that
using all innovation we observe and we study
all over the world, one of the new surface platform
we are providing for our customer is to offer
all these types of innovation
to our thousand and a thousand of customers
in particular the enterprises and the idea of a match-making
is one of the new platforms we are working on
because the vision is a financial institution, like a bank, like us
generally speaking, is providing financial solution
is providing financial capital
we are moving towards new types of dimensions because
financial solutions are important but
we are going to deliver intellectual capital
not only financial capital, that means
that working on a lot of platforms that we can provide because we are a large group
we have a lot of research center inside, a lot of knowledge
as you can imagine, we are more less than 100 thousand people
that are working inside Intesa San Paolo
and imagine also the function that are working on the headquarters
like potential business unit
we are providing new types of service platform for our customer
providing for instance training, advisory and a lot of new things
on the one hand, to redifine the way we evaluate
the credit and loans
that are as you can imagine, as you know strictly regulated
by the central bank of Europe
but also to support our customer, support our enterprise
to redefine new challenges as sometimes to redefine new business model
that's really an important value that is added in the platform for us
the 4th activity, that I'm working in on
is innovation culture and development
it is on one can spreading the culture of innovation
that is not only training
because I am quite
skeptical about the idea that innovation can be teached by
normal classroom, by traditional way of thinking
the idea behind this function is that
we kept involving a lot of people
changing progressively the mindset
first of all, our 100 thousand people in terms of innovation
that means faster the ability to project, to launch new ideas
inside our company
and on the other hand,
to communicate and to spread the idea of innovation all over the company
the second important point of this function is
development, because we launched and experienced designed lab
using design taking at least our top approach
to face all the challenges we are working on
in terms of new projects, accelerations and so on
and to evolve all our people
and our customers
in developing new opportunities, developing new services
developing new business
all these 4 functions are working together
to reimaging the role that the bank can play in the future
to build the bank that doesn't exist yet
and to do this I am really glad to host this conference
because this is a huge opportunity for us of contamination
because the network society is really committed to rethink in a certain way
to organize, a certain way to decentralize the decision
and this is one of the issue we are working on
and that is the reason why we are really excited to host this conference
and I think you will enjoy this day.
Thank you very much. Have a good day.
