Quotes
[07:05] - "We want to grow assets under management. We want to grow assets under administration. We want our advisors to become more efficient. We want to grow market share. And so the point of digital transformation exercises isn’t to go digital but organizations can measure their digital maturity in part by assessing progress made into digital transformation across a few dimensions and as well as the ROI from those investments." ~ Jon Feinstein
[10:50] - "I think when you think about CRM, I think for any successful implementation, it starts with a strong foundation of data. Data is absolutely essential. The quality of the data, the cleanliness of the data, because that's really the foundation that flows into all of the systems, CRM or otherwise." ~ Jon Feinstein
[15:02] - Whether you’re a product manufacturer or a wealth management or asset management firm, or a software company, you name it, we want to create value, and we need to think of value in terms of not just the organization but what value will be derived by the industry." ~ Jon Feinstein
