Key areas of focus
We have certainly been focusing on integrating new technology and tools into our processes and we can already see tangible differences on productivity as some of the admin tasks can now be done by tech.
I have ensured my whole team participates in the AI tool pilots that our company runs and use and understanding of the tools is quite impressive within my team.
We also continue to focus on consolidation, as now as a team we look after manager selection for our combined central solutions teams for both the Brewin and RBC sides.
