Innovation Challenges

Schroders Investment Management is a 215 year-old company formed in London and now in 32 markets globally, including 8 in Asia. They are primarily an asset manager, with institutional clients as well as intermediaries who distribute their investment products.
Given the number of markets it operates in, Schroders has invested in its ability to manage business change across its business units, such as changes to shared services or regulatory driven change in processes. Schroders values delivering a great experience to its clients and employees and so has developed digital, cognitive science and data science capabilities.
Schroders collects a lot of internal data from various operational transactions, processes as well as activities monitoring. However, there is a desire for automated and intelligent process or technology to further mine the value of such internal data to the organisation in Singapore or any market.
Currently, the process to answer key Operational, Investment Management or Distribution related questions still requires a lot of manual intervention - searching for data, sense making, and communicating insights or recommendations. This may involve one or more of investment managers, traders, data insights team and relationship managers (RM), which is time consuming and not necessarily accurate, or complete. This impacts the organisation’s ability to understand if it is operating at its best capacity, effectively or efficiently, and where the possibilities of opportunities to improve are, on its journey to becoming the leading digital asset management firm globally.
The Problem Statement
How might we improve our internal processes to derive relevant insights, particularly through utilising our data, in order to operate more effectively and efficiently?
