You need to ensure that the necessary changes are implemented in a controlled and systematic fashion and with the requisite people skills.
How we can help you
Swisscom’s experts have successfully implemented numerous large and small-scale banking-sector projects requiring challenging levels of project management expertise. Our project managers motivate the project team to reach new levels of performance, they communicate appropriately (including at C-level) and use proven methodologies and an extensive network of peers. They are also skilful, assertive negotiators who keep sight of the big picture. Thanks to our established position in the banking sector, we have a profound understanding of the needs of the financial industry.
