The industry has been shaken up for a decade and its players are all facing the same issues. It is now more important than ever to share best practices that could also lead to ideas applied to a certain department/domain but that can be scalable to another one.

Albert Loo, Deputy Head of Sales for Global Markets, Societe Generale
