Deutsche Bank CEO John Cryan has made headers before for his forecast that technology will end several banking jobs, but he allowed more insight into precisely how the business world will change in an account with News on the interests of the Singapore Summit.
The business sector, he said unequivocally, will see several of its current roles automated. In fact, Cryan said, “it would be improper not to say that’s the case it’s not special to our bank, in fact, it’s a sector-wide happening.”
Right now, he told, many finance jobs need people to act like robots, so they’ll simply be replaced by robots. His workers already know it, he continued, and there may even be a silver covering to their modern roles going to the machines.
“The possibility that we always talk about inside is upskilling the job, making jobs more satisfying,” Cryan said. “People who are just automatically moving paper and products around don’t have a very fulfilling job, and the career prospects there are not as engaging as they would be if we were able to automate a lot of that composition. Then we can add a bit of thought and a bit of creativity to the role.”
One way to improve what it means to be a banker, the Deutsche Bank boss said, is to push people to use more interpersonal skills something computers won’t master anytime soon: “We need to increase the number of people who face clients and counterparts and external stakeholders and decrease the number who are focused inside, producing numbers, calculating outputs.”
