Achieving your expected growth rate. Identifying the business activities which yield results
Leveraging data from two major studies commissioned by Dimensional in 2017, participants will take part in focused discussions covering the actions that global advisory firms are taking to achieve their expected revenue growth now and in the future. Drawing on the study results of 1,300 global advisory firms, and 19,000 advisory firm clients, the discussion will cover business development and the marketing practices that firms report they undertake, and which of these activities yields results.

AI - is it you or the algorithm?
Artificial intelligence is making rapid inroads into financial services. We are already seeing algorithms taking over the more basic levels of financial advice and they will increasingly be moving up the food-chain, from specific tasks, such as asset allocation, to fully-fledged turnkey solutions. How should client-facing firms adapt to the new model?

Talent of the future: from adviser to technical analyst and everything in between
While the advantages of training advisers and TAs from scratch are obvious – particularly when it comes to integrating them into the company culture and moulding their skills, do firms have the time and resources to do so? Or should we just focus on recruitment and head-hunting? With a wave of applications from strong candidates pouring into all types of job openings across various industries, the recruitment criteria and process has inevitably had to change. Increasingly, it is becoming apparent that although skills are absolutely essential to progress, what differentiates the successful from the non-successful candidates is their alignment to the company’s values. To succeed, employees need to translate their skills into motivation driven by purpose and vision. Once firms do hire the right talent, appropriate remuneration and reward policies are in place, the attraction, development and retention of key talent requires on-going focus on the human dynamics.
