Digitalization: Over the last decade digitalization has ushered in new opportunities to better understand and address client needs, as well as to break up value chains and create new ecosystems. This has had a catalytic effect on this increasingly dynamic sector, but to date these new capabilities have been seized on pre-dominantly by players outside traditional sector boundaries. Value orientation: Intensification of various global megatrends, in combination with increased societal dialogues (e.g., around climate protection, energy transition, and related issues), has led to changing norms. Demand for sustainable investing has jumped, accelerated by the global pandemic, which has made people even more conscious of mankind’s vulnerability.
