This document discusses innovation in banking and challenges to innovation. It summarizes that innovation in banking should mainly focus on customer experience, analytics, cloud technology, APIs, machine learning, and robotic process automation. It also notes that barriers to innovation include lack of leadership buy-in, budget issues, risk aversion in company culture, and company politics. Open innovation and design thinking can help break down silos and bring together diverse expertise to drive innovation. Data-driven innovation is also challenging as data is often siloed within organizations without a single source of truth or ability to track customers across systems.
