Barclays Bank (UK)
KEYNOTE: Transforming Barclay’s frontline environment through mobile
Presentation from Intranets2014
About my talk
Barclays Bank is one of the world’s largest retail banks. With 20,000 frontline staff in the UK alone, Barclays needed to improve interaction with the frontline staff. Ben will share the journey of MyZone, the mobile solution delivered to all frontline staff (and beyond). The app has now been downloaded over 30,000 times and is available in the UK, Europe and Africa. It was also a Platinum winner of the 2013 Intranet Innovation Awards.
The talk will explore the app in detail, showing how it has changed the way in which the frontline staff interact with each other and the business.
The session will cover:
- building and developing the My Zone app
- the remarkable business benefits delivered
- future for MyZone
