A Few Facts On Current Banking
2
Financial services companies and especially banks are under heavy
pressure:
• Record low interest rate environment leading to eroding margins
• Ever increasing capital requirements and administrative obligations
increase the cost base
• Hefty fines imposed by regulators for acts of misdemeanors
(tax evasion, boycott violations etc.)
• Abundant number of non-banks are entering the banking business
• In Switzerland: Swiss banking secrecy de-facto abolished over night

The Challenge Banks Are Facing
5
Financial services firms increasingly face complex problems which are
difficult to resolve with limited resources.
To enhance their performance they would need:
• more brain power and creativity
• higher speed in problem solving
which implies higher budgets - which are currently not available
Can Open Innovation help ?

Simplified Banking Value Chain

Supplier Needs
Analysis
Client
Investment Divestiture Buyer
Private banking clients occupy positions on both ends of the value chain!
• The banking value chain is unique
• It has a feature that no other industry’s value chain bears
Why not leverage client input by applying open innovation?

Research Methodology
ISPIM 2014 | PATRICK SCHUEFFEL Dec. 2014 7
• Case study methodology: suitable for underresearched topics, able to answer
“why” questions
• Theoretical sampling (banks serving individuals and operating under Swiss
regulator, but polar types: large & small, regional & national etc.)
• Sample size: seven banks; true names cannot be revealed
• Semi-structured interviews with innovation champions
• Interview duration: appr. 1.5 hours
• Data collection period: Mar– Sep 2014
• Data triangulation with secondary data from Web, newspapers, publications
• Cross-case analysis

A Verbatim on Innovation Culture
«Do you have an Innovation Culture?»
ISPIM 2014 | PATRICK SCHUEFFEL Dec. 2014 9
Zelos “Yes [, innovation has become more important] and no, there is no explicit culture of innovation that can be felt by the employees. Therefore no, there is no real culture that fosters innovation, one that promotes error. It’s a culture of fear and it is important not to fail.”
Verbatims on Open Innovation
«Do you apply Open Innovation?»
ISPIM 2014 | PATRICK SCHUEFFEL Dec. 2014 10
Phanes “I never heard of it [open innovation] before. The themes we would need feedback on are so technical; it's a bit difficult for the banking world. […] I do not think a bank could motivate many people to participate [in open innovation] and […] I do not see which kind of idea we could run on an open innovation platform.” Rhapso “I do not think banks are ready for open innovation. It's a trend but is it effective?”
Verbatims on Openness
«Do you involve your clients for innovation?»
ISPIM 2014 | PATRICK SCHUEFFEL Dec. 2014 11
Crius “No. Innovations will appear on the market. The market is therefore our source of innovation. Factors are the innovation needs of customers but they change little. In most cases, this is not really the customer that says I need it, it is rather the bank offers.” Matton “Open Innovation, I share [new ideas] with my colleagues from other banks, we see each other at least two times per year. The idea is not to reinvent the wheel if it has already been done elsewhere.”
