London, Singapore – CFTE, a Knowledge Partner at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2023, is rolling out an AI framework to support organisational training at scale to adopt artificial intelligence.
- 88% of industry leaders agree that AI will drive change in their organisations and many highlight the need for upskilling the workforce to prepare for the disruption;
- CFTE presents the ABCDE framework to aid firms in AI adoption;
- Co-founders Huy Nguyen Trieu and Tram Anh Nguyen will address the AI impact and skills strategy at Singapore Fintech Festival.
In today’s rapidly advancing landscape, AI has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionising the industry. AI technology can be utilised by knowledge workers across sectors and seniority levels – executives, managers and junior employees. Disruption of Gen AI alone across business functions is agreed by 77% of European leaders within the financial services, with many stressing the lack of upskilling strategies. The new wave of AI transformation offers a potential for exponential growth, while posing risks and limitations.
Teaching AI is not new for CFTE. Since 2018, CFTE has been trailblazing AI knowledge within the financial services industry with more than 10,000 finance professionals trained spanning from Singapore to MENA and Europe. CFTE delivers learning programs designed for central banks, financial industry leaders, fintech professionals and global communities – with a clear goal on upskilling at scale.
How is the ABCDE Framework helping companies?
By adopting the ABCDE approach, organisations position themselves at the forefront of innovation, adapt to changing customer needs, and thrive in the rapidly evolving landscape of the financial industry.
- AI and Technology – The integration of AI technologies is birthing new paradigms of tech-driven solutions, making tech fluency an essential workforce skill.
- Business Models – Innovative business strategies help organisations adapt to the AI landscape, explore new revenue streams, and redefine customer propositions.
- Customer Centricity – AI and technology enable organisations to gain insights on customer demand, and to deliver tailored services in a cost competitive way.
- Data – Size and quality of data are essential for powering AI algorithms, making informed decisions and generating successful products and services.
- Employees & Culture – Investing in upskilling allows institutions to deploy AI at scale and empower employees with the technology on their day to day.
ABCDE encapsulates the key elements for a successful AI adoption and the strategy for capturing the benefits of the technology through scalable workforce training in AI.
