How We Bring Human-Centered Design to an Established, Regulated Industry

September 12, 2016

Continuum has been practicing service design and designing winning customer experiences in the financial services space for over a decade, having worked with many of the world’s leading organizations.

Shifting consumer expectations, the arrival of new competitors unencumbered by legacy tech systems, and a brave new regulatory environment mean that financial service organizations must now put the customers at the center of their businesses. Immediately. It's no simple task, as these customers demand superlative experiences—ones that match the first-rate service they receive in other industries—in exchange for their loyalty. Delivering these experiences requires innovation in the way financial services operate.

We've gathered some of our best thinking here to give you a sense of the breadth of our work and hopefully offer some inspiration for you and your own organization.

Curious how ready your org is to innovate?
