Some relate to the environment in which it operates, including the extent to which this is changing due to both structural and policy forces. Others speak to the importance of being more inclusive and engaging better with a demographically and socially evolving client base. And all involve integrating much better the enormous strides made in information technology, the Internet, social media, predictive analytics, and behavioral finance.
