With rapid development in technology, advisers of tomorrow (and today) need to develop a new, vastly different, skill set. How practitioners adopt and use new technology, stay on top of “the next big thing” and encourage those they are managing may well be the key to a successful, long and rewarding career.
This session considers:
- The interaction between technology and traditional business skills (eg using technology in meetings without creating a barrier between adviser and client)
- Assessing the potential for integrating new technologies into practice (addressing concerns on confidentiality, accuracy and relevance); and
- How to lead in this space, by encouraging colleagues to be agile as new technologies present themselves, and by ensuring continued professional development as technology replaces some of the “building block” tasks.
