Garage Approach

In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, banks and financial institutions face unprecedented challenges. Regulatory requirements, intensified competition, and market uncertainties loom large, creating a complex ecosystem for financial institutions to navigate. However, at Samlink Advisory Services, we believe in the transformative power of co-creation and the “garage approach” to address these challenges. 

Understanding Co-Creation and the Garage Approach

Co-creation is not just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental aspect of our Advisory Services at Samlink. Co-creation involves collaborative problem-solving, bringing together banks and financial institutions, established fintechs, and independent software vendors to develop innovative digital finance solutions. This approach is rooted in the idea of customer-centricity, where solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of customers efficiently and effectively. 

Co-creation programs are essential for banks and financial institutions facing increased regulatory requirements, competition, and market uncertainties. It’s a response to the evolving European banking sector, empowering banks to sustain and grow their business through effective cooperation, explains Philippe Santraine, Samlink’s Senior Banking Consultant.   

The “garage approach” embodies our commitment to agile innovation. It’s about breaking down silos within organizations, fostering collaboration, and embracing a mindset of continuous improvement. With the garage approach, we empower bank personnel to adapt, align, and make decisions that drive digital transformation across the organization. 

Benefits for Banks and Financial Institutions

Why should banks and financial institutions embrace co-creation and the garage approach? The answer lies in the need for agility, innovation, and sustainable growth. In today’s competitive landscape, banks must adapt quickly to changing market dynamics. Co-creation programs enable banks to: 

  • Enhance productivity and streamline internal processes. 
  • Accelerate decision-making through automation and integration of fintech solutions. 
  • Stay ahead of the curve by tapping into new market opportunities, such as embedded finance, banking-as-a-service, and banking-as-a-platform models.
